How Half With Most Goals Betting Works

Your Half With Most Goals predictions come down to more goals being scored in the first half, more goals being scored in the second half, or each half having the same amount of goals being scored.

Half With Most Goals Example

To better explain how this bet works, let's take an example from a game between Wolverhampton and Crystal Palace. As you can see from the image above, it would appear that the bookmaker thinks more goals in either the first or the second half are equally likely, and that both halves having the same amount of goals is very likely, with around 47% implied probability. We'll be going into this in more detail in the Half With Most Goals strategy section, but what is obvious here is that the bookmaker believes both halves will showcase consistency at least in terms of offensive threats.

There could be a number of reasons behind this kind of thinking. It could be that they think neither team will score at all, or that this could be the likely outcome based on the last several matches of each team, with very even performances. The important thing here is to take these factors into consideration and see what conclusions you come to.

While these are just a few examples, the point here is to always remember that you're not betting on who you think is likely to win, but what kind of game this is likely to be. Half With Most Goals betting is a time-based market, meaning success will require a shift in your usual approach. Ultimately, for all its intricacies, what this bet ultimately comes down to is simple: which half you think will have the most goals.

These markets are very common and can be found on the majority of major football operators, so they'll be easy to find. Oftentimes, sites will have “Half” markets bundled together; other times it may be found under “Goals” markets, or just with other markets generally – it all depends on the bookmakers. In terms of placing your bet, as previously mentioned, there are three outcomes, just like a “To Win” market, meaning it should all be very familiar.

Half With Most Goals Betting Strategy

One of the things we love most about Half With Most Goals is that it has strategic and analytical depth while remaining straightforward enough for anyone to take a reasonable punt at making highest scoring half predictions. This is one of those rare markets where you can pretty much decide for yourself how far you want to go in terms of thought, research, and tactics. If you do decide you want to make the smartest bets possible, here are our top ten Half With Most Goals betting tips.

1. Utilise Variety to Spot the Best Betting Markets

The fact that Half With Most Goals works alongside so many other markets means there are more chances to spot good betting opportunities. This is great since not every match will have Half With Most Goals markets you think are worthwhile, and there might be times you think the bookmaker got it wrong. Think of them as another arrow in your betting bow, and a powerful one at that.

2. Don’t Neglect Your Research

Just because Half With Most Goals betting is easy to understand as a concept doesn't mean any less research should go into making your bets. Indeed, in many ways, this market actually requires more in-depth research to properly understand it.

3. Think Differently

As we've said, it's not about who wins, but about the type of game that is going to be played. If you find yourself just trying to work out who will win, remind yourself that these markets require an entirely different way of thinking. It can be hard to break out of long-held patterns of strategic thought, but it's a vital reminder in order to make the most out of this market.

4. Utilise Promotions

Apart from being versatile enough to work with other markets, Half With Most Goals betting can also be utilised with a huge amount of betting promotions. Most bonuses that can be used generally on football (meaning ones that aren't tied to a specific market) can be used here, which also includes many welcome bonuses. You'll have to check the Terms and Conditions to be sure of individual cases, but rest assured that there are many instances where extra rewards can be won by checking for relevant promotions.

5. Don't Underestimate the Importance of the Game

The impact of the importance of the game is an element of betting that's often overlooked. It could be big for both teams, in a knockout, final, or especially culturally significant situation. Appreciating this, and how teams work under pressure, is particularly important in getting an idea of how a game is likely to be played.

6. Consider Team Chemistry

As an extension of the previous point, considering the chemistry between the teams will help you make more informed bets. Determining this can either be very easy or difficult, depending on how often they've had players against each other in recent times. Look back and pay special attention to any and all recent games between competitors. If there aren't any, perhaps try and see how they operated against teams of similar abilities and tactics.

7. Remember That Some Leagues Score Higher Than Others

We think that betting on a wide range of leagues is a great way to enhance and diversify your love of the game. However, if you do, you'll have to distinguish between the average amounts of goals scored across different leagues.

The Bundesliga, for instance, is remarkably high scoring at the moment, while the English Championship is much less so. The difference in averages tends to be around 2 to 5 goals per game, which has a huge impact on this market as there's often so much more back-and-forth in the latter. Research the rough average of whatever league you're betting on and keep that in mind as part of your strategic considerations. Check out our 1. Bundesliga tips on KickForm for detailed analysis and betting predictions!

8. Make a List of the Likeliest Scenarios

Earlier, we considered possible scenarios and how you would bet if you thought some of them were likely. This is more than just a tool to understand Half With Most Goals; it’s a great way of approaching this market strategically. Make a list of possible scenarios and order them from least to most likely.

It could be as simple as early domination by team A, early domination by team B, early domination followed by a comeback, later domination by team A, later domination by team B, no goals, consistent back-and-forth, and so on. Then start getting rid of those you think are most unlikely. This process of elimination is an easy, logical way of creating a framework for conclusions.

9. Create a Narrative of the Whole Game

One mistake people make is viewing their bets in a vacuum. Half With Most Goals is all about seeing the game as a whole, and the best way to do this is to roughly sketch out how you see the game going. This is a great idea if you're going to be making multiple bets, too.

10. Look at Key Stats

There's no better tool to improve your betting than proper use of Half With Most Goals statistics. In pretty much any form of sports betting, the utilisation of stats is often what differentiates casual and experienced bettors. Adding stats to your base of knowledge is like getting a bird's-eye view of all the essential parts you need to consider.

As an example of how useful they can be, here’s three simple stats you could use if you were betting on the English Premier League:

By using these stats, you already know that the second half generally holds an advantage from the off, that you're usually looking at three goals or less, and that a game has the potential to be high scoring even when a team is testing out younger players.

Utilising KickForm

Speaking of statistics, there's no better place to get your stats on event probabilities than at KickForm, a dedicated football analytical tool that can provide you with vital information on the top football leagues. By means of algorithms, you can be sure that these probability percentages are as accurate as they could possibly be.

While there isn't anything relating specifically to Half With Most Goals markets, there are predictions on the outcomes of leagues generally. From Both Teams to Score and Over/Under Goal, to winners and possible relegations, these will be able to provide you with a much broader context.

That’s just one small example of how KickForm is ideal for utilising the best highest scoring half predictions. Smart betting is about gathering as much information as possible and using it to build your highest scoring half predictions based on that logical foundation.

Other Half With Most Goals Betting Markets

Due to the versatility of highest scoring half markets, you could reasonably say that pretty much every other betting market is relevant with similar markets including betting To Win Both Halves. However, there are some that also specifically utilise the half-and-half structure for the basis of the bet. Below, we'll be looking at five of our favourites, which will enable you to see just how deep and diverse this time-related betting concept can be.

1. Goals Scored in Both Halves

Probably the most popular market other than Half With Most Goals, the Goals Scored in Both Halves market will have you betting on whether you think either team will score in each half. In other words, you need a minimum of two goals, with one being scored either side of 90 minutes.

2. Both Team to Score in Both Halves

In this case, each team needs to score in both halves. This can be a very high odds gambit, as it requires not only a minimum of four goals (more than the average in many leagues), but also for them to take place at specific times. This is a potentially lucrative market, ideal for games you think will both be high scoring and see no team completely dominate.

3. Half Time Result

We talked earlier about how these markets change the way you think about football. This bet is a perfect example, as you have to imagine each half of a game being its own match entirely. Half Time result is essentially a To Win market, but only for the first half. Overall, a great market for considering the first half tactics of each team.

4. 2nd Half Goals Odd/Even

Second Half Goal Odd/Even sees you deciding whether you think the goals at the end of the second half will be an odd or even number. This is an extremely specific prediction that really requires you taking everything into account.

5. First Half Corners

It’s not just goals that make use of the “Half” markets – you can also bet on how many corners you think will be taken in the first half, usually with an over/under number set by the bookmaker. This may initially sound a little bit random, but it’s actually a great test of your understanding of how aggressively played a game is likely to be.

Why Is Half With Most Goals Such a Popular Market?

One of the reasons that highest scoring half markets are so common is popularity – operators want to put on markets that garner the most interest, and this helps achieve exactly that. Sure, it’s not going to replace “To Win” markets anytime soon, and you rarely see it as, for instance, the focus of special promotions as you might for something like First Goalscorer on big matches or the winner of a large tournament.

However, as far as alternative markets go, it has become one of the most expected, respected, and well-liked. So what is it about the market that people are so passionate about? We’ve broken down some of the top reasons we think that Half With Most Goals is so popular.

It’s Part of a Rich Tapestry

While we love the highest scoring half markets, it's hard to imagine it existing in a vacuum. For instance, if the only thing you could bet on was “To Win”, we think that football betting markets would still be going strong. This doesn't apply for highest scoring half markets. Indeed, understanding them requires you to realise that they are part of a family of markets, and that is to their strength.

Half With Most Goals may not always be the market you're interested in betting on. However, it joins a family of markets that together make football one of the most diverse, varied, and interesting sports to bet on. Of course, it’s not that you want to back each of these markets every time, but there’s enough here for at least one to catch your interest – it may be Half With Most Goals this time, another the next. Ultimately, having them all there means more opportunities for everyone.

You Don’t Need to Back a Team

Often, your heart and your head are going against each other when it comes to betting. Say, for instance, you think your favourites are unlikely to win, but you wish to support them during the game, or you think that the first goalscorer is going to be from the team you want to lose. Betting on both of these would leave you either personally disappointed despite winning, or happy for your team but losing.

With Half With Most Goals, it's not about who wins at all. Instead, you're simply deciding which half, if any, will have the most goals. It’s almost like each half is its own team playing against the score of the other. This means you can bet on those games without having to compromise either your support or your betting logic.

It Makes You Think of the Game in a Whole New Way

For us, this may be the biggest reason why we love this market. We're used to thinking about football in terms of wins and losses. However, we often overlook what goes into a win or a loss. This is an absolutely fantastic market for helping you wrap your head around those strategic intricacies. It makes you think about how different teams approach matches and why, and what kind of playing style they have (aggressive, defensive, or reactive).

The best markets are often ones that make you think about and appreciate your favourite sports in new ways. Not only does this mean smarter betting, but it can also have a positive impact on your thinking for other betting markets.

Accessibility

For all our talk about the depth of these markets and the strategies behind them, we think a big part of the popularity of highest scoring half markets comes down to their accessibility. You don’t need to know much about either team, their players, or the context of the match to understand how this works and make a bet. We wouldn't recommend it from a strategic perspective, but that shows you just how broad the appeal of this market is.

Many betting markets require a level of experience that this doesn't, giving it a casual accessibility few can match. It’s so straightforward that someone with no betting experience would likely have no issues understanding how it works, nor the basics on how to approach it.

Versatility

This is a hugely versatile market. Not only is it part of a family of alternative markets, but it can be easily used alongside them as well. Part of the problem with a lot of markets is that they can easily contradict one another. Half With Most Goals can work with most others without issue. In fact, you can use Half With Most Goals to craft a consistent picture of how you think a game is likely to go.

You may think, for instance, that you'll see a back-and-forth game, with more action in the second half. A bet in this regard and for Both Teams to Score would work perfectly together. There are also next to no issues if you want to use this market alongside To Win or Handicap bets, since Half With Most Goals makes no assumptions about who will win.

Furthermore, it doesn’t interfere with anything like Yellow Cards, First Goalscorer, or Corner markets. It lives largely in its own betting world, meaning it plays exceptionally well with others. Ultimately, part of its popularity is not just the variety it is a part of, but how that variety can be used cooperatively.

ThePuntersPage Final Say

We think the best way to appreciate Half With Most Goals is alongside all the other markets. Apart from a strategic perspective, it's a great option for multiples, and generally as yet another way to enjoy football. Different games require different markets to be interesting, so even if you decide this market isn’t for you in one instance, you should still be happy that it's there, waiting for when it becomes relevant to you. All this just goes to show how lucky we are that there's so much variety in betting in general, making the whole experience that much more interesting by providing many opportunities for smart bets.
