1UP & 2UP meaning in football betting
The 1UP as a betting market means a bettor receives an early payout when their selected team scores first or leads by a single goal during the game. The final result of the match doesn't really matter.
The 2UP as a betting market means a bettor gets an early payout when their selected team scores the first two goals of the game or gets a 2-goal lead at one point during the game. The final result doesn't matter. The next paragraphs explain better.
1UP & 2UP betting markets options
The 1UP & 2UP have two betting options. Home win 1UP and Away win 1UP. The same for 2UP; Home win 2UP and away win 2UP. Below, we explain these options better.
Let's assume we have a fixture, Manchester United vs Chelsea, and the bettor wants to bet on the fixture using the 1UP betting market. If he chooses Home Win 1UP, it means the bettor expects Man United to lead Chelsea by one goal at any point during the match. For instance, if Man United score first in the game, the bettor wins his bet, and even if Chelsea score first but Man Utd go on to score two quick goals to lead 2-1, then his bet is considered won. The remainder of the match becomes irrelevant, thanks to the 1UP betting market. You get an early payout when your selected team leads by 1UP. The same for 2UP, which means when your selected team (home or away) leads by two goals at one point during the game. The remainder of the game doesn't matter.
