What is 1XUP betting?
1XUP is a feature that allows eligible football bets to be settled early. The main difference between a 1XUP and a normal match result bet is that an eligible selection can be settled before the end of the match once the selected team takes a one-goal lead. For example, if you select the home team on a 1XUP market and they take a 1-0 lead at any point during the statutory 90 minutes, the selection can be settled as a winner. The final score does not change a selection that has already been settled under the applicable 1UP rules.

How does 1XUP work on SportPesa?
The most important aspect of how 1XUP works is the qualifying lead. For instance, depending on the specific market, the 1XUP feature could offer early settlement if the picked team is ahead by 2 goals in-hand. However, SportPesa’s customers should ensure that they review how to play and the market information, which is shown on the bet slip and the rules of play, before they handicap a game.

What happens after the required lead?
Once the required one-goal lead is reached for an eligible 1UP selection, the selection is settled as a winner under the applicable early-settlement rules. The game can then continue, but later events do not change an already settled selection.
If the selected team has not reached the required 1UP threshold, the early settlement condition does not apply. The bet is then settled according to the normal rules for the specified market.
Can 1XUP be used in multi bets?
An eligible X1UP selection in a multi bet does not automatically settle the entire multi bet. The 1UP selection can be settled as a winner once the qualifying lead is reached, while the other selections still have to be settled according to their applicable rules. This means that an early-settled 1UP selection does not make every other selection in the multi bet a winner. The overall multi bet still depends on the remaining selections.
1XUP vs normal 1X2 betting
In ordinary 1X2 betting, 1X2 is a method where 1 is a home victory, 2 is an away victory, and X is a draw. This form of betting is typically settled based on the final game result. For eligible selections, 1XUP is offering an early settlement condition. Hence, it is critical not to attribute 1XUP to the common 1X2 wagering.
