What Is Alternative Matches In 1xBet?
Alternative matches in 1xBet are virtual betting markets created by combining teams from different real matches that are being played simultaneously. This betting type allows you to wager on a match between two teams that are not actually playing each other, but whose scores are taken from their separate live matches.
Alternative Matches 1xBet Meaning
The alternative matches 1xbet meaning refers to a unique betting format where the platform creates virtual matchups using teams from different live matches happening at the same time. The scores from each team's actual match are combined to form the result of the alternative match.
How it works:
Two or more teams are selected from different live matches
Each team plays its own separate real match
The goals scored by each team in their real matches become the score of the alternative match
Bets are settled based on this combined virtual result
Example from 1xBet official rules:
Alternative Match: U.C. Sampdoria – Hellas Verona
Real Matches:
U.C. Sampdoria – Internazionale: 2:0
Udinese Calcio – Hellas Verona: 0:2
Alternative Match Score: Sampdoria 2 – 2 Hellas Verona
The alternative match ends in a draw (2:2) because Sampdoria scored 2 goals in their real match and Hellas Verona scored 2 goals in their real match.
Alternative Double Matches
Alternative double matches are a variation where teams are grouped together, and their combined scores compete against other grouped teams.
Example from 1xBet official rules:
Bet: Eintracht Braunschweig/Borussia Dortmund – FC Schalke 04/TSG 1899 Hoffenheim – Total Over 2.5
Real Match Results:
Eintracht Braunschweig – FC Schalke 04: 0:0
Borussia Dortmund – TSG 1899 Hoffenheim: 2:1
Calculation:
Group 1 combined score: Eintracht (0) + Dortmund (2) = 2
Group 2 combined score: Schalke (0) + Hoffenheim (1) = 1
Alternative double match result: 2:1
Total goals: 3 (Over 2.5 wins)
Betting Rules for Alternative Matches
Forfeit situations: If one team forfeits (does not appear for) their real match, all bets on alternative matches involving that team are settled at odds of 1.00 (refunded).
Exception: Bets are not refunded if the outcome was already determined before the forfeit occurred. For example, if you bet on Team A to win and they are already leading when Team B's match is forfeited, your bet stands.
Only regular time counts: Alternative matches use only the regular time (90 minutes) results from actual matches. Extra time and penalties are not included.
Live betting: All teams listed in alternative matches must be playing simultaneously. These are live betting markets where results update in real-time based on actual match scores.
