1xBet American Football Betting Rules: A Clear, Updated Guide for Bettors
Understanding how 1xBet American football betting rules work—especially around overtime, partial games, and special markets—will save you from unpleasant surprises at settlement. This guide distills the rulebook into practical takeaways, with examples you can apply right away.
What this guide covers (at a glance)
- When bets stand (the 55-minute rule) and when they’re void
- “Regular Time” vs. “Including Overtime” markets, and how ties are handled
- Settlement for quarters/halves and “Highest Scoring” markets
- Player touchdown props (what counts—and what doesn’t)
- Common edge cases with quick examples
1) The Core: Match Duration, Overtime & When Bets Stand
Regular Time vs. Including Overtime
On 1xBet (🔥 Join 1XBET now! Click [betx100.com] → Code: betxone → 💰 100% BONUS!) , American football bets may be offered either on:
- Regular time: 60 minutes (four 15-minute quarters), no OT
- Including overtime (explicitly labeled)
Always check the market label in the bet slip: if it says Including Overtime, OT points count toward your wager; otherwise, settlement is based on regulation only.
The 55-Minute Rule (When your bet becomes official)
- If a game starts but isn’t completed, bets are void (settled at odds of 1) unless the market outcome was already determined at the moment of interruption.
- At least 55 minutes must be played for full-game bets to stand. If 55+ minutes have been played, bets are settled using the score at the time of stoppage.
What if overtime ends in a tie?
If a match including overtime finishes tied:
- W1/W2 (home/away) moneyline bets are refunded (settled at odds of 1).
- Totals and handicaps remain valid and are settled on the final match result.
2) Quarters, Halves & “Highest Scoring” Markets
Quarters and Halves: play must finish
For quarter and half bets, the entire period must be completed for wagers to stand (unless your outcome has been unconditionally determined already). Do not assume overtime counts for a specific quarter or the fourth quarter; it does not.
Highest (or Lowest) Scoring Quarter — Totals
- If two or more quarters tie for the most (or least) points, no stakes are refunded on the total market for that selection; settlement is based on the total across those tied periods.
- However, if it’s impossible to determine a single highest scoring quarter unconditionally, bets on that tied quarter are void (odds of 1); other quarter selections are settled as losses.
- For Highest Scoring Half, if both halves finish with the same score, bets are void (odds of 1).
Practical example:
- You bet “Q3 = Highest Scoring Quarter.” Final quarter points: Q1: 10, Q2: 7, Q3: 10, Q4: 3 → Q1 and Q3 tie. Because a single highest-scoring quarter can’t be determined unconditionally, bets on Q1 and Q3 selections are void; all other quarter selections lose.
3) Player Touchdown Markets (Anytime / First / Last)
1xBet settles “Player to Score Touchdown Anytime,” “Total Player Touchdowns,” and “First/Last Touchdown”only when the player scores the touchdown via:
- Rushing
- Receiving
- Interception return
- Kick return
- Punt return
Important nuance: A passing touchdown does not credit the quarterback as an “Anytime TD Scorer”—the receiver gets the TD for this bet type. Keep that in mind when betting QB props.
4) Edge Cases & Quick Answers (Real-World Examples)
- Game stops at 56:10: More than 55 minutes played. Bets stand and are settled by the score at stoppage.
- Your ticket says “Including Overtime” and the game ends tied after OT: W1/W2 are refunded; totals/handicaps are settled on the final score.
- 4th-quarter bet & game goes to OT: OT does not count toward 4Q markets.
- Tournament markets (“Higher at end of the tournament”): If teams fail to qualify from the group, settlement is based on their group positions; if positions are equal, settle by score.
Extra context: American Football overtime rules (so you know what “Including OT” actually means)
The American Football currently guarantees both teams a possession in regular-season OT (subject to a single 10-minute period), aligning with playoff procedures; settlement still follows 1xBet market labels as explained above. Knowing how OT plays out helps you price totals and props late in games.
Pro Tips (from a betting content creator)
- Read the label: On 1xBet, the text “Including Overtime” is decisive for totals/handicaps and many props. If it’s missing, assume regulation only.
- Respect the 55-minute line: Weather delays, injuries, or power issues can void full-game bets under 55:00. Hedge late if the game looks dicey.
- Quarter/half markets = precision: They require the period to finish—and ties can void “highest scoring” bets. Diversify with low exposure here.
- Anytime TD ≠ Passing TD: For QBs, look for rushing TD angles (sneaks near the goal line) rather than counting on passing-only roles.
- Cross-check house rules: While many books include OT for full-game lines, period markets vary. If you cross-shop prices, remember settlements may differ.
Conclusion
If you remember just three things about 1xBet American football betting rules:
- 55 minutes must be played for full-game bets to stand.
- Check the label—Including Overtime vs. Regular Time.
- W1/W2 are refunded if a match finishes tied after OT; totals/handicaps still settle on the final.
With these guardrails—and careful reading of the market text—you’ll avoid most settlement surprises on 1xBet.
