FAQ
What selections are included in this Bet Builder tip?
This Bet Builder combines three legs for the Portland Timbers versus Sporting KC match. The first leg is Over 0.5 Goals in the 1st Half, meaning at least one goal will be scored before half-time. The second leg backs Portland Timbers to win the match. The third leg predicts Both Teams to Score will be No, so only one team will score across the full 90 minutes. All three legs must land for the bet to return the combined odds of 4.06.
How are the individual legs settled?
The Over 0.5 Goals in 1st Half leg settles when the first half concludes, requiring a minimum of one goal by either team before the 45-minute mark. The Match Result leg is determined by the final whistle, with Portland Timbers needing to be ahead on the scoreline. The Both Teams to Score - No leg also settles at full-time and requires that only one team has scored during the match, meaning the other team must finish with zero goals.
