In the Housebets rules, football is the soccer chapter. Match markets such as 1X2, draw no bet, handicaps and total goals settle on regular time: two 45-minute halves plus stoppage time. Extra time and a penalty shootout count only when the market name says so, or when the market is something like To Qualify.
Cards, corners and shots follow the market text, not a TV graphic. Check live betting before you stake during a match, and the sportsbook rules if a line here is thinner than the rulebook.
Markets that matter
1X2. 1 is the side listed on the left, X is the draw, 2 is the side on the right. A bet on 1 wins 1-0 and loses 1-1 or 0-2. Unless a sport rule says otherwise, this is regular time.
Draw no bet. Two selections only. If the match is drawn, the missing outcome rule refunds the stake at odds 1.00. The rules use a 1-1 football match as the example.
Odd/even totals. Odd is 1, 3, 5… Even is 0, 2, 4… Zero is always even, including 0-0, zero corners and zero cards.
Double chance. 1X, 12 or X2. A bet on 12 wins if either side wins in the relevant period and loses if that period is a draw.
Examples
Total goals odd, final score 2-1. Three goals. The odd bet wins.
Total goals even, final score 0-0. Zero goals. The even bet wins.
Draw no bet on team A, final score 1-1. The bet is void and the stake comes back, because draw was not offered on that market.
If the match does not start on time, an official cancellation voids bets. A delay with no new time inside 12 hours also voids them. If the organiser resets the time inside 12 hours and the match starts within 48 hours of the original kickoff, bets stand. Home and away swapped means bets on the original listing are void.
Football FAQ
Does extra time count on a 1X2?
No. A standard match result is regular time only.
A 1-1 after 90 minutes is a draw even if a team later wins in extra time. To Qualify includes the stage that produces a winner.
What happens on draw no bet if the match is 1-1?
The stake is refunded. Draw was not a selectable outcome.
That refund is the market working as written, not a cancelled event.
Is 0-0 even or odd?
Zero is even. A bet on total goals even wins a 0-0. A bet on total goals odd loses.
A match is abandoned after an hour. What happens?
Markets that already have a natural conclusion stay settled. The rest are void if the match is not completed inside the rule's window.
An example in the rules: a matchday total that still has one abandoned match after 48 hours voids the whole aggregate market.
Which page covers in-play goals?
Live betting. Acceptance can be held during a dangerous attack, and a bet struck after the event is already known can be void.
