Head-to-head (H2H) is a betting market where you wager on which of two competitors will perform better in a specific event.

It focuses on direct comparison rather than overall tournament outcome.

How it works

• Only two participants or teams are compared

• Draws may be possible or excluded, depending on rules

• Winner is determined by final result or performance metric

Example

• Matchup: Player A vs Player B

• Bet: Player A H2H

• Player A finishes higher → bet wins

Key characteristics

• Simple and clear market structure

• Popular in tennis, motorsport, golf, and esports

• Reduces variables compared to multi-outcome markets

Important note
Always check settlement rules—some H2H bets include overtime or extended play, others do not.
