Half-Time Betting Systems - How it works

Published on 10 Jul 2022 | Last updated on 14 Oct 2026 | Reading time: 6 minutes

The Half-Time Bet Strategy is an easy way to earn money while watching sporting events. It works by placing bets on half-time results before the game has started. This means that you can bet on the result of the first half of the match and you don't need to wait for the full-time to get paid.

The aim of this system is to win an average of 60% of the games in order to achieve a continuous increase in the total capital. Since bookies offer odds of 2.00 on average, this goal is achievable as soon as more than every second tip is correct.

The idea is very simple, bets are only ever placed on a draw at half-time, but there are several rules that must be strictly observed.

Strategy rules

The Half-Time Betting System is simple to use and requires no special skills. All you need to do is follow these steps:

1. Only games in which you have current statistics for the last 5-10 games are considered. You can choose whether you only take the last 5,6,7,8,9 or even all 10 games into account. Exceptions are reserved, but the stake is then limited to 10%!
2. Don't place bets on friendlies
3. Games with a goal difference of at least "4" at the end or at least "3" at half-time can be removed from the rating depending on the assessment. The reason for that would be a falsification of the probability if a team had an opponent that was too easy or too difficult
4. Only teams are accepted that finished at least 60% of the games with an X at half-time
5. The stakes (see below) are based on the combined probability of both teams
6. All probabilities are rounded up or down to whole numbers
7. If it is not possible for you to make an evaluation between the picks, then the stake for the following picks is calculated according to the total capital of the last evaluation.
8. As an alternative to the total games, it is also possible to only include the home team's home balance or the away team's away balance in the statistics. Rule no. 4 applies here as well
9. Bad days follow good ones!

Stake

The bets are based on the expected probability as a percentage of the total bankroll. Here is how to calculate your stake:

• 60 - 70% probability = 10% stake
• 70 - 80% probability = 15% stake
• 80 - 90% probability = 20% stake
• 90 - 100% probability = 25% stake

Strategy tips

So, we have a few more tips on how to combine more games:

1. Accumulator bet with two games suits with relatively high odds
2. Combination bets with 4-6 games and medium odds
3. Combination bets with 6-10 games and low odds
4. System bets (e.g. 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4) with very high odds

To help you more using this strategy, we will publish here all teams with at least 60% draws at half-time in the current year. This table will be updated on daily basis, so you can check it regularly if you want to use the draw at half-time betting system.
