Multi Goal betting involves predicting a band (or range) of the total number of goals in a match. To put it in context, if you back a range between 3-5 goals in a game, then the total number of goals (for both the teams combined) should not fall below 3 or exceed 5. It has to be 3, 4 or a maximum of 5 goals for you to win the wager.
What Is Multi Goal Betting?
In the Multi Goal Betting market, the punter has a range of goals to choose from. They can wager on whether the total number of goals from both teams will fall within that range during regular play, i.e. 90 minutes + stoppage time. Learn more about this and more in our betting terms and definitions page.
In the Multi Goal Betting market, it doesn’t matter whether the team you back wins the game or not, unlike the Full Time Result Market.
While this isn’t the most widely available bet type, you can still find rewarding odds on offer by bookies.
Note that bookmakers might label this market ‘Total Goal Bands’.

How Does Multi Goal Betting Work?
In the FT Multi Goal Betting market, it does not matter in which half the goals are scored. Neither does it matter which team scores the goals nor the side that goes on to win the game.
What matters here is that the number of combined goals falls within the selected range.
Let us consider the following example.
Therefore, with 2, 3 or 4 goals being scored in the match, you win your Multi Goal bet.
However, you would lose the bet under the following conditions:
- The match pans out goalless
- Less than 2 goals being scored in the match
- More than 4 goals being scored in the match
Multi Goal Bet: Sub Types
The Multi Goal Betting market isn’t limited to full-time only.
You have the flexibility to restrict your wager to a multi goal line in the 1st half and 2nd half individually. You can also bet in this market on the home team or away team individually.
Here is the detailed rundown:
Home Team/Away Team Multi Goal Betting
Instead of betting on the combined goal range for both the teams, you can wager on an individual team.
- Let's consider an example - Real Madrid squaring off against Barcelona at home. In the Home Team Multi Goal Betting markets, you bet on Real Madrid scoring within a range of 2-4 goals in the game.
In this case, you win your wager only if Real Madrid scores a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 goals by the end of regular play.
Should the goal count be anything outside this range, you lose your bet. The goals scored by the other team is irrelevant.
1st Half/2nd Half Multi Goal Betting
This gives you the option to accurately predict the range of goals that could be scored in the 1st or 2nd half, individually.
- Let’s again use an example – Arsenal taking on Chelsea. You select a 2-4 range across both teams’ goals, but only on the first half. This means that there must be between 2 and 4 goals scored by the end of normal play in the first half of the game for the bet to be successful.
Anything that happens in the second half would have no impact on your bet result.
What Are the Advantages of the Multi Goal Betting Market?
Besides being one of the simpler bet types, betting in the Multi Goal market has a trove of benefits for punters. A few essential upsides include:
Desired flexibility
There’s a variety of ranges available, meaning you can find your perfect market.
You also don’t have to put your finger on the exact number of goals; you’ll still win the wager should the goal count fall within the chosen range.
Simplicity
In the Full Time Multi Goal Betting market, all that matters is the number of combined goals falling in the selected goal range. It doesn’t matter which side does the scoring or the half in which the goals are scored. Nor does it matter which team wins the contest.
Therefore, you have more chances to win.
You Can Use Stats to Your Advantage
Statistics for goals are easy to find and understand.
As a contrast, Barcelona, in the 2018-19 season, scored 90 goals with a first half to second half split of 41% and 59%.
You can use the statistics to your advantage and adjust your first or second half multi goal bets accordingly. It would likely be wise, for instance, to bet on a higher range for Barcelona than it would be for Burnley. Check out our detailed page on top football stats, streaks and trends for a whole range of leagues across the globe.
Multi Goal betting is simpler than other bet types you’d associate with statistics like the Correct Score or Asian Handicap. It’s much more like full time result betting in its accessibility.

If you want to rake in the moolah when betting on this market, take a look at our top tips below:

- 02Factor in the form of both teamsThis tip lies at the heart of betting. Research into how the sides have fared across past matches, and if they are generally high-scoring teams.
- 03Is it a crucial rubber?Managers tend to field the strongest team in a league game, whereas a friendly might see only the reserve team turning up. Pressure also has performance consequences.
- 04What's the news?Keep an eye out on match-related news for injury and suspensions. A change in players has an impact on the team’s goal scoring ability.
Multi Goal Betting FAQs
-
The objective is to accurately predict the goal range scored by both teams at the end of the game. This does not include extra time or penalties.
-
No, it doesn’t. All that matters is the number of combined goals falling within your selected range.
-
1st Half/2nd Half Multi Goal and Multi Goal Betting on Home Team/Away Team markets are common. In the former, you back a goal range for either the 1st or the 2nd half. For you to win the wager, the combined goals must fall within the selected range, on the selected half. With the latter, you choose a multi goal line and back either team to score within the selected range.

Hey, I'm Matteo, and I'm a writer that lives and breathes sports. The typical weekend for me revolves around (falsely) hoping Manchester United will make it back to the top, ruining my Fantasy Premier League team, and getting off my lazy butt for a run.
