These Best Konjo Bet football betting rules explain how football bets may be settled for pre-match and live events. Before placing a bet, check the market name, the time period covered, the event status and any special conditions shown in your bet slip. Most markets are settled on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, but some markets include extra time or a penalty shootout. Where a specific market description differs from this page, the conditions displayed for that market apply.
Best Konjo Bet aims to settle football bets according to published market rules and official event data. For the full contractual rules, please read the Terms and Conditions.
Football betting rules at Best Konjo Bet
Football bet settlement depends on the market you choose. “Full time” can mean different things in football betting, so always check whether the market is labelled “90 minutes,” “including extra time,” “to qualify,” or “outright.” A match result after normal time is not always the same as the team that progresses in a cup competition.
These football betting rules in Ethiopia are intended to help players understand common outcomes before placing a bet. They do not replace the specific rules displayed in the betting market or the site’s governing terms.
Standard settlement time: 90 minutes
For most football markets, settlement is based on 90 minutes of play plus referee-added stoppage time. Stoppage time, also called added time or injury time, is included. Extra time and penalty shootouts are not included unless the market name or its specific rules clearly state otherwise.
- Match Result / 1X2: usually settled on the score after 90 minutes and stoppage time.
- Double Chance: usually settled on the 90-minute result.
- Total Goals: usually settled on goals scored in 90 minutes and stoppage time.
- Handicap: usually settled using the 90-minute score.
- Both Teams to Score: usually settled using events in 90 minutes and stoppage time.
For example, if a cup match is 1–1 after 90 minutes and one team scores in extra time, a 1X2 bet on that team does not win where the market was a standard 90 minutes football betting market.
When extra time counts
Extra time football betting applies only when the market clearly includes it. Look for wording such as “including extra time,” “to qualify,” “winner of tie,” “team to lift the trophy,” or “outright winner.” These markets may be based on the eventual competition outcome rather than the result after normal time.
A bet on Team A to qualify may include extra time and a penalty shootout if the market rules say that progression is the deciding result. By contrast, a standard Team A to win 1X2 selection is normally decided after 90 minutes and stoppage time only. Do not assume that a team progressing means that it won the 1X2 market.
How penalties are settled
It is important to distinguish between a penalty awarded during play and a penalty shootout held after extra time.
- A penalty during the match is a normal match event. If it is scored during a period included by the market, it can count as a goal for relevant totals, match result and scorer markets.
- A penalty shootout is a tie-break procedure after the match. Shootout kicks usually do not count as match goals for 90-minute totals, handicaps or both teams to score markets.
The result of a penalty shootout may count for a qualification, trophy or outright market when that market expressly covers the final competition outcome. Always review the market label before betting. Penalty shootout betting rules can vary by market type.
Cancelled, postponed and abandoned matches
A cancelled football match bet, postponed football match betting market or abandoned event may be handled differently depending on the market and the applicable Best Konjo Bet rules. The event schedule shown on the site is for convenience and may be corrected where official details change.
- Cancelled before kick-off: a bet may be declared void and the stake refunded, subject to the applicable market rules.
- Postponed before kick-off: the bet may remain valid if the match is played within the period set out in the relevant rules; otherwise, it may be void.
- Abandoned after kick-off: markets whose outcome was already unambiguously decided before the stoppage may be settled where permitted by the rules. Other selections may be void.
- Match completed later: settlement may be based on the resumed or replayed match only where the market rules allow this.
- Official result amended: settlement may be reviewed in line with the Terms and Conditions and official data procedures.
- Incorrect event information: an event listed with an incorrect date, team, competition or market description may be corrected, suspended, cancelled or voided under the applicable rules.
The exact time limit for a postponed or unfinished event should be checked in the relevant market rules. A void bet normally means that the affected stake is returned and that selection does not produce a win or loss. It does not mean that every related selection or every betting scenario is automatically refunded.
Live football betting settlement
Live football betting rules reflect the fast-changing nature of an event. Odds can move quickly after a goal, red card, penalty, VAR review, dangerous attack or other important incident. A live market may be suspended while information is checked or while the match situation changes.
When using Best Konjo Bet live, a submitted bet may be accepted after a short delay, offered at updated odds, or rejected if the price or event status has changed. A bet is not final simply because it has been selected in the bet slip. Check the acceptance message and the confirmed odds before relying on the bet.
Live events are settled using confirmed information. Where data is incomplete, delayed or under review, a market may remain suspended until the event can be verified.
Odds changes and bet confirmation
Football odds change as market information changes. The odds shown when you add a selection to your bet slip may no longer be available at the time of confirmation. If this happens, the system may present revised odds or reject the bet.
The final odds are the odds shown on the accepted bet confirmation. Review the event, selection, stake, odds and market conditions carefully before confirming, especially for live football bets. Best Konjo Bet does not state that every submitted bet will be accepted.
VAR, official data and result corrections
Video Assistant Referee decisions can confirm, cancel or change match events. A goal may be disallowed, a penalty may be awarded after review, or a card decision may be changed. During a VAR review, affected markets can be suspended and live bets may be delayed or rejected.
Football bet settlement is based on the confirmed official result and official event data used under Best Konjo Bet procedures. If an official source changes a result or event record after settlement, any review or correction will be handled in accordance with the site rules. This approach can apply to goals, cards, corners, player statistics and match results.
Player, cards and corners markets
Special football markets can have additional conditions. Check the specific market rules before placing a bet.
- Player markets: availability, starting status and participation requirements can affect settlement. A player selection may be void if the player does not take part, where the relevant rule provides for this.
- Goalscorer markets: own goals are generally not credited to a player as a scorer unless the market rules state otherwise.
- Cards: rules may specify which cards, players, team staff or bench incidents are included. Official match data is used where applicable.
- Corners: only officially awarded and recorded corners count. A corner retaken or cancelled by the referee may not count as a separate corner.
For player, cards, corners, totals and handicap markets, do not rely only on general football knowledge. Read the market wording in the bet slip, as it defines the applicable settlement period and event criteria.
Examples of football bet settlement
| Scenario | Settlement |
|---|---|
| A match is 1–1 after 90 minutes. Team A scores in extra time. | A 1X2 bet on Team A loses if it was a standard 90-minute market. |
| A match is 0–0 after 90 minutes and Team B wins a penalty shootout. | A 90-minute Total Goals Over 0.5 selection loses. Shootout kicks are not normal match goals. |
| A match is cancelled before kick-off. | The affected bet may be void, subject to the specific event and market rules. |
| A live bet is submitted while a goal is being checked by VAR. | The bet may wait for confirmation, be accepted at changed odds, or be rejected. |
| A selection is “Team A to Qualify.” | Extra time and penalties may count if the market states that qualification is the settlement basis. |
| A corner is initially awarded but cancelled after an official decision. | The market is settled using the official recorded corner total, according to its rules. |
Responsible football betting
Football betting should be entertainment, not a way to earn income or recover losses. Set a budget you can afford, take breaks when needed and avoid betting when you feel pressured. Information about limits, breaks, self-exclusion and available support is available on the Responsible Gaming page.
