Football bet settlement
What's the best way to know whether stoppage-time goals count in first-half bets?
Direct answer
First-half bets ordinarily include stoppage time before the half-time whistle; they do not include the second half or later extra-time periods. Confirm the specific market.
How to use this answer
This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.
Check whether the period is defined as first-half regulation plus added time; most first-half result markets include stoppage time.
For player, card and corner markets, the exact selection type matters. A singles rule is not automatically the same as a bet-builder rule; use the market definition and the settlement source for the operator shown on your slip.
