Correct Score Betting- A Guide for NZ Bettors

Correct Score Betting Explained

There's nothing complicated about the correct score betting. As the name implies, with correct score wagers, you bet on the final result of games. You can place correct score bets on most sports, but this market is most common for sports where the score line is usually expressed through single-digit numbers, such as football, tennis, ice hockey, etc.

For example, when you are betting on the correct score market for a football match, you can choose from various correct score predictions, such as 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, etc. Online bookmakers will usually offer about twenty or thirty of the most common outcomes, so you will never have a shortage of correct score betting options.

As for the way the market works, it is really quite straightforward. Let's say you are betting on the Australian Open match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune. If you think the match will end 3-2 in Tsitsipas' favour, the Greek tennis star will need to win three sets, while the Dane will have to lose, but win two sets in the process. In other words, the final score of the match will have to be Tsitsipas 3:2 Rune. If that's the case, you have a winning bet.

Correct Score Betting Examples

The most common correct score betting market is the one where you are betting on the final score of a match. However, there are also various other variations of the sports betting market, allowing you to predict the correct scores of halves, sets, quarters, periods, etc. Let's explain the most popular correct score options.

Correct Score/Final Result

If you think you know how a match will play out, you can bet on the final result. However, please note that when you are betting on the correct score of matches, you don't just predict whether the match will end in a home win, away win, or a draw. It is crucial that you correctly predict the final score of the match as it is shown on the scoreboard.

Let's say you are betting on ice hockey and picking the NHL match between the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you predict that the Oilers will win 4-2 against the Maple Leafs, that must be the exact score at the end of the match for you to have a winner.

Half-Time Correct Score

You can also bet on the correct score at half-time. As you might expect, when betting on half-time correct score markets, you are not interested in the final score of the match. Instead, you want to make the correct prediction about what the score will be after the first half.

For example, if you place a football bet on the English Premier League predicting that the half-time result between Manchester United and Manchester City will be 1-1, the teams have to score a goal each in the first half of the match.

Conclusion

With correct score bets, you predict the exact score of particular matches. That might sound a bit difficult, but if you get your correct score predictions right, you can benefit from some of the most enticing odds out there.
