Sports betting terms on the slip: result codes
The result codes come from the 1X2 market, where 1 is the home team and 2 the away team. They also turn up inside other markets, so learn these seven first.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Home team wins |
| X | Draw |
| 2 | Away team wins |
| 1X | Home win or draw |
| X2 | Draw or away win |
| 12 | Either team wins, no draw |
| GG / NG | Both teams score / at least one team does not |
Numbers and lines: 0.5, 1.5, 1up and 2up
Numbers on a slip are either goal lines, which count goals in the match, or lead rules, which pay once a team gets far enough ahead.
0.5 and 1.5 in betting
Worked example
A line ending in .5 is a goal count that cannot be hit exactly, so the bet always wins or loses and the stake is never simply returned. Over 0.5 means at least one goal; Under 0.5 means 0-0. The meaning of 1.5 in betting follows the same rule: Over 1.5 needs two or more goals, Under 1.5 needs none or one. Put ₦2,000 on Over 1.5 at 1.40 and a 1-1 draw returns 2,000 × 1.40 = ₦2,800.
1up and 2up
1up in betting is an early-payout rule on the match result. You back a team to win, and if that team goes one goal ahead at any point, the bet is paid as a winner even if the game later ends level or lost. 2up works the same way with a two-goal lead.
The extra cover usually comes with a slightly lower price than the plain 1X2. Say you put ₦1,000 on the home side 2up at 1.90; they lead 2-0, then draw 2-2. The bet still returns ₦1,900. 1up and 2up are operator offers, not standard markets, and our check of 1win.ng did not cover them.
Terms from A to D
Accumulator
An accumulator (also called a multiple or acca) joins several selections into one bet, with their odds multiplied. Every leg must win. The Single, Multiple and Series slips explained works through the payout maths.
Booking code
A booking code is a short code that loads a ready list of selections into a betslip, so a friend can share a slip by message. Prices can move between the moment the code is made and the moment you load it, so check the odds again before you confirm.
BTTS, GG and NG
BTTS stands for both teams to score. GG (“goal goal”) is the yes side: each team scores at least once. NG means “no goal” on a slip, not Nigeria: at least one team fails to score. A 2-1 result wins GG; a 3-0 result wins NG. ₦1,500 on GG at 1.75 returns ₦2,625 if both teams score.
Cash-out
Cash-out is an offer from the bookmaker to settle your bet before the event ends, for an amount it sets. The offer is usually below the full win if your bet is going well, and above zero if it is going badly.
Double chance
The meaning of double chance in betting is simple: one bet covers two of the three results, as 1X, X2 or 12. Because it wins more often, it pays less. ₦3,000 on X2 at 1.35 returns ₦4,050 if the away side wins or draws.
Draw no bet
Draw no bet removes the draw: if your team wins you are paid, and if the match ends level the stake comes back.
Terms from E to O
Early payout
Early payout is any rule that settles a bet as won before the final whistle, once a set condition is met. 1up and 2up are the common football versions.
Handicap
A handicap gives one team a goal start or deficit before the match. With Asian handicap -1, your team must win by two or more; a one-goal win returns the stake. Football markets and how each one settles sit in our football market settlement table.
Home/Away
Home/away meaning in betting depends on the market. In 1X2, home is 1 and away is 2. In the half-time/full-time market, “Home/Away” is one exact outcome: the home team leads at half-time and the away team wins at full-time. It is a long shot and priced like one.
Home no bet
Home no bet means you back the draw or the away win, and if the home team wins your stake is returned. ₦2,000 on home no bet at 1.80 returns ₦3,600 on a draw or away win and ₦2,000 on a home win.
Margin
The margin is the bookmaker’s share built into a set of prices. Add 1 / odds for each outcome; the amount above 100% is the margin.
Other home win
“Other home win” in a correct score market covers every home-win scoreline that is not listed on its own, such as 5-1 or 4-3. If the list stops at 4-2, a 5-0 home win settles on “Other home win”.
Terms from S to W
Single
A single is one selection with one stake. ₦1,000 at 2.40 returns ₦2,400 if it wins.
Virtual bets
Virtual bets are on computer-generated matches or races whose results come from a random number generator, with a new event every few minutes. Form, team news and statistics mean nothing there.
Wager and wagering
A wager is a bet, or the amount staked on it; “to wager ₦500” means to stake ₦500. Wagering is the act of placing bets.
Wagering requirement
Worked example
A wagering requirement is the amount you must bet before bonus money can be withdrawn, set as a multiple of the bonus or of deposit plus bonus, depending on the rules. If it applies to the bonus, a ₦5,000 bonus at 20× needs 5,000 × 20 = ₦100,000 in bets, and only games or odds that the bonus rules allow count towards it. The welcome card wagering terms on 1win.ng give the multiple that applies there.
What is gambling
Gambling means staking money or something of value on an uncertain result in the hope of winning more. Sports betting, casino games and lotteries are all gambling, and every form carries the risk of losing the stake. If betting stops feeling like a choice, signs and support for gambling problems lists help lines in Nigeria.

FAQ
Is 1up the same as cash-out?
No. 1up pays automatically under a rule fixed when you place the bet; cash-out is an amount the bookmaker offers during the event, which you can accept or refuse.
What does "void" mean on a settled bet?
The bet is cancelled and treated as odds of 1.00, so the stake comes back. In an accumulator the void leg drops out and the rest stays at the reduced odds.
What is a push in betting?
A push is a result that lands exactly on a whole-number line, such as Over 2 goals when the match has exactly two. The stake is returned.
What is a banker in a system bet?
A banker is a selection that goes into every combination of a system bet. If the banker loses, every line containing it loses.
What does "odds boost" mean?
An odds boost is a raised price on one selection, offered for a limited time. The stake and settlement rules stay the same; only the payout on a win is higher.
