How Betting Lines Work: Reading Odds, Handicaps and Totals
A betting line has several parts that let users see what's being bet on and the value of potential returns. The 1xBet line is the full set of markets and prices for an event. The line changes before the event starts and while matches are underway.
Part of the line | What it tells you | Illustrative example |
|---|---|---|
Event | The match, league and sport you're betting on. | Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL - Ice Hockey betting) |
Market name | The factor you're betting on. | Match result, handicap, totals, player props. |
Selection | The 1xBet line you're betting on. | Montreal Canadiens to win, Total Goals Over 1.5. |
Odds | The amount you'll win if the bet is successful. Can be displayed in several formats. | 1.67 (Decimal), -150 (American), 2/3 (Fractional) |
Handicap or total value | These are two betting markets. The handicap value is a virtual advantage or disadvantage applied to the game's result. Totals are match statistics on lines set by the bookmaker, with bets placed on Over/Under. | Montreal Canadiens +1.5 (Handicap), Total Goals Under 2.5 (Totals) |
Bet slip | The window that opens after you make a selection. This is where you enter your stake, with the 1xBet odds and potential return displayed. It also has the button to confirm the bet. | Bet on the Montreal Canadiens to win, with odds of 2.0, a C$10 stake and a C$20 potential return. |
All of this information is on the betting line page of 1xBet online betting. When you access the page of a sporting event, all the markets will be displayed.
Betting Line Odds Explained: Formats, Payouts and Implied Probability
Through 1xBet's settings, you can change the format in which sports betting Canada line odds are displayed. All the values are the same, and only the format changes. No win is guaranteed, and every line includes a margin for the bookmaker. They're set using implied probability, which is the percentage assigned to the likelihood of each event occurring. Because of the bookmaker's margin, the sum of the implied probability percentages always adds up to more than 100%.
To understand how these formats and implied probability work, it's helpful to look at examples of 1xBet odds for favourites, which are the events most likely to happen, and for underdogs, which are considered less likely.
Format | How it looks | Favourite example (C$10 Stake) - Illustrative | Underdog Example (C$10 Stake) - Illustrative |
|---|---|---|---|
Decimal odds | Shown as a decimal number, such as 1.95 | 1.67 → Total return of C$16.70 (profit of C$6.70) | 2.50 → Return of C$25 (profit of C$15) |
American odds | Shown with a positive or negative number, indicating how much you need to bet to profit C$100, such as +150 or -180 | -150 → Return of C$16.70 (profit of C$6.70) | +150 → Return of C$25 (profit of C$15) |
Fractional odds | Shown as a fraction of two numbers, indicating how much profit is possible for every C$10 wagered, such as 8/10 or 7/5 | 2/3 → Return of C$16.70 (profit of C$6.70) | 3/2 → Return of C$25 (profit of C$15) |
Implied probability | Shown as percentages calculated with the formula (1 / Decimal Odds x 100), such as 60% and 45% | 60% → Return of C$16.70 (profit of C$6.70) | 40% → Return of C$25 (profit of C$15) |
Odds aren't fixed because there’s line movement and can change at any time based on factors that shift expectations for the sporting event, such as lineups, injuries, and betting volume on each outcome.
Sports and Markets on the 1xBet Sportsbook
Beyond the match result, 1xBet sports betting Canada users can bet on several other markets based on the specifics of each sport. The more important a match is, the greater the number of markets for sports betting Canada, since the event gets wider coverage. On the other hand, smaller matches have only the core markets. For more details, visit each sport's page.
Sport | Popular pre-match markets for sports betting Canada | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Football | Match winner 1x2 (moneyline), correct score, total goals, total corners, total cards, result of each half, individual player stats, handicap, outright winner. | The most popular sport on the planet, and for this reason it has many matches and markets available. |
Ice Hockey | Match winner, handicap (puck line), total goals, player props | Possibility of betting on matches involving Canadian teams. |

What is Handicap in 1xBet Canada? Handicap 0, 1:0 and 2:0 Explained
The vast majority of sports offer handicap betting lines. This works as an advantage or a disadvantage given to one of the teams (head start or deficit) that must be factored into the final result to determine the outcome of the bet. Some examples include the goal handicap in football betting, the run handicap in baseball, and the point handicap in basketball betting. For example, 1:0 means that the first team has a virtual advantage of 1 goal, and 2:0 means that the team has a virtual advantage of 2 goals. 0, on the other hand, means that there is no head start or deficit, and the bet will be a push if the match ends in a draw (the same as a Draw No Bet bet)
The handicap can be a whole number, which results in a stake return (push) if the combined result is a tie. The other type of handicap in 1xBet uses fractional numbers, where there's no possibility of a tie.
Handicap | Example | Result Rules (illustrative, using football as the example) |
|---|---|---|
0 | Team A (0) | Works like a regular bet on the result, but with a push if it's a draw. If Team A loses, the bet loses. If Team A wins, the bet wins. If the game ends in a draw, the stake is returned. |
-1 | Team A (-1) | If Team A wins by at least 2 goals, the bet wins. If Team A draws or loses, the bet loses. If Team A wins by exactly 1 goal, the stake is returned. |
+1 | Team A (+1) | If Team A wins or draws, the bet wins. If Team A loses by 2 or more goals, the bet loses. If Team A loses by exactly 1 goal, the stake is returned. |
-1.5/ +1.5 | Team A (-1.5) | In this case, because it’s a half goal handicap, there's no push, and the bet can only win or lose. On the -1.5 line, Team A needs to win by at least 2 goals for the bet to win, and the bet loses on any other result. |
Because of this, handicap bets differ from the 1x2 moneyline in that they don't account for draws and require adding or subtracting a value from the actual final result. Another type is the Asian Handicap, which offers 4 possible fractions (half-lines and quarter-lines) on the same 1xBet line and includes bets that are half won and half refunded, and half lost and half refunded. In the 1x2 bet, it is possible to bet on the draw. In the handicap with whole numbers, on the other hand, a draw can result in a push.
Other Bet Types: 1x2, Double Chance, Totals and Accumulators
A sporting event can offer several betting markets in different formats. Each type of bet works differently and carries a different level of risk.
Bet type | How it works | Risk |
|---|---|---|
1x2 | A straightforward bet on the match result: Team A to win, Team B to win, or a Draw. (W1, Draw or W2) | Being the simplest bet, it carries medium risk and usually features favourites and underdogs. |
Double chance | A bet on 2 of the 3 possible outcomes. | The safest bet, since only 1 outcome will result in a loss. |
Total (Over/Under) | A bet on match statistics using the Over/Under system. The bookmaker sets values on the lines, and users bet on whether the value will be above or below that figure. | A bet that can be analyzed statistically. |
Accumulator (Parlay) | A bet on several lines at once, where the 1xBet odds are multiplied together and every line must win for the bet to win. | The risk is higher, but the potential payout is also higher. |
System bet | A combination of several accumulator bets into a system that covers all possible combinations. For example, a bet with 4 lines will generate every possible triple, double, and single bet. | Reduces the risk of an accumulator bet by covering all the combinations. |
Single bet | The opposite of an accumulator, with only one 1xBet line wagered. | Safer than an accumulator since it depends on just one result. |
Live Betting Odds in Canada: How 1xBet Live Betting Works
Betting odds can move at any time based on information about the match and betting volume. For live sporting events, 1xBet odds change constantly based on what's happening in the match. In some markets and events, there's the option of cash-out, where the bettor closes out the bet before it settles and keeps a portion of the payout proportional to the change between the odds at the time of the bet and the current odds. Cashout availability depends on the market and the phase of the sporting event. A few tips can help with discipline in 1xBet live betting compared to pre-match betting.
Criterion | Pre-match | Live |
|---|---|---|
When you bet | Since odds move less, there's more time to bet on the odds you want. | In In-play betting, you need to act quickly to bet at the exact moment the odds are where you want them. |
How odds move | Movement based on betting volume and prior information about the match, such as injuries and lineups. | The odds update is based on what's happening in the match, such as team performance and the number of attacks. |
Typical markets | Match results 1x2, handicap, Over/Under totals, correct score, player props. | Match result 1x2, Over/Under totals, next goal. |
What to keep in mind | It's important to analyze prior information about the event. | It's important to follow the event live statistics and understand the nuances in real time. |
When betting live, check whether the odds have changed between the moment you make your selection and when you confirm the bet, since movements happen quickly. Don't chase fast-moving odds, follow the progress of the event, and keep your stakes low for added safety. Depending on what happens in the match, there may be a market suspension, either temporary or permanent.

Smart Habits for Betting in Canada
A few betting habits are worth following to keep the sport betting Canada safe and under control. Keep in mind that none of them guarantee winnings, they simply make your betting smarter.
Before you start betting, set a budget and establish a standard stake size for your bets, always keeping it a small percentage of your total bankroll (the balance available for betting on the platform). This helps with financial control in match betting Canada.
To understand how betting works, start with simple markets, such as the 1x2 moneyline and totals in a match betting Canada, before trying accumulators and system bets.
Never chase your losses or increase your stake after consecutive losses, since this leads to a loss of financial control.
Don't bet on impulse. Always analyze the statistics and odds for the event, comparing the available markets. Also compare the same market across different events.
Before confirming your bets, read the rules for each market in the site's Terms and Conditions. This includes market rules, settlement rules, overtime conditions, void bet conditions, and other factors.
