H2H

H2H is the most traditional way of betting that any bookmaker can offer. With this bet type, you are essentially betting on the head-to-head result of a match. This is why its mostly used for football and motorsport; however, it can be used for other team sports.

What is H2H Betting?

In sports betting, this bet is often known as “Draw No Bet”. This means that it’s very similar to 1X2 betting; however, the draw option is taken out of the equation. So, you can bet on these two outcomes:

• 1 – Home team to win.
• 2 – Away team to win.

Advantages and Disadvantages of H2H Bets

The advantages of this type of match betting is that it’s very simple and easy to understand. H2H betting is where all bettors begin. The chances of winning are really 50-50 because you pick one out of two possible outcomes. When you remove the option of a draw, your chances of winning increase drastically.

You pick either a home team victory or an away team victory. In the case of a draw, the stake is returned. Because of this, the odds only depend on the strength of the two sides that are playing. If one is a favorite, then backing them would be under lower odds in comparison to backing the underdog. Nevertheless, H2H betting is best used for a match where the two sides are evenly matched.

Types of Bets and Markets

The H2H bet is mostly used for team sports like football, basketball, hockey, motorsport, basketball, etc. It’s good for US sports as well, even though they tend to go to overtime. When you eliminate the draw option, that doesn’t matter, because if in regular time the match ends in a draw, your stake will be returned.

Since football is the most popular sport when it comes to this sort of betting, bookmakers created even more markets. For example, now you can bet H2H for each half. You will be picking who wins in the first half or the second half.
