X means a draw, where neither team wins and the match ends level after regular time.

It is the standard notation used in 1X2 betting markets.

How it works

• 1 = Home win

• X = Draw

• 2 = Away win

• Applies only to regular time, unless stated otherwise

Example

• Final score: 1–1

• Bet: X
  → Bet wins

Key characteristics

• Typically higher odds than home or away wins

• Common in football and some combat sports

• Excludes extra time and penalties by default

Important note
A draw after 90 minutes still settles as X even if a winner is later decided in extra time or penalties.
