These Best Konjo Bet football betting rules explain how football bets may be settled before a match and during live play. They cover 90-minute markets, extra time, penalty shootouts, cancelled or postponed fixtures, odds changes, VAR decisions, and selected special markets. Please check the market name, the time format, and any conditions shown on your bet slip before you confirm a wager.
Best Konjo Bet aims to settle football bets according to published market rules and official event data. Where a specific market description or condition displayed in the bet slip differs from a general explanation on this page, the specific market condition applies.
Football betting rules at Best Konjo Bet
Football betting settlement rules can vary by market. A match result bet, for example, is usually based on regular time, while a “To Qualify” market may include extra time and a penalty shootout. Before placing a football bet in Ethiopia, make sure you understand whether the market refers to 90 minutes, the full tie, a tournament outcome, or another stated period.
Terms such as void, cancelled, won, and lost describe the settlement outcome of a bet. A void bet normally means that the stake is returned, subject to the applicable market rules and the status of the event.
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 because it is part of normal regulation play. Extra time and penalty shootouts are not included unless the market name or specific rules clearly state otherwise.
Markets that are commonly settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time include:
- Match Result / 1X2: home win, draw, or away win at the end of regular time.
- Double Chance: two possible regular-time outcomes combined in one market.
- Total Goals: goals scored during the stated 90-minute period.
- Handicap: the adjusted result after applying the stated handicap to regular time.
- Both Teams to Score: whether both teams score in regular time.
“Full time” in a standard 1X2 or totals market generally means the end of normal time, including stoppage time. It does not automatically mean the end of extra time.
When extra time counts
Extra time football betting applies only where the market expressly 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 settled after regular time, extra time, or a penalty shootout, depending on the market description.
A standard 1X2 bet is different from a qualification bet. If Team A wins after extra time but the score was level after 90 minutes, a 1X2 selection on Team A would normally lose because the regular-time result was a draw. A “Team A To Qualify” selection may win if the market rules include the eventual tie outcome.
How penalties are settled
A penalty kick awarded during normal play or extra time is a match event. If it results in a goal, it may count toward goals markets when the relevant period is included in that market. A penalty shootout after extra time is different: it is a tie-break procedure, not part of the ordinary match score for most 90-minute betting markets.
- Penalty shootout goals usually do not count toward standard total goals, both teams to score, or 90-minute match result markets.
- A shootout result may count for “To Qualify,” trophy, and outright markets where the market rules include the final winner of the tie or competition.
- Always read the market title carefully before relying on penalty shootout betting rules.
Cancelled, postponed and abandoned matches
A cancelled football match bet, a postponed fixture, or an abandoned match may be settled differently depending on the market and the official status of the event. The applicable completion period, if any, should be confirmed in the relevant Best Konjo Bet rules and market conditions.
- Cancelled before kick-off: bets may be void if the fixture does not take place, unless a different market rule applies.
- Postponed before kick-off: bets may remain open if the match is played within the applicable completion period; otherwise, they may be void.
- Abandoned after kick-off: markets whose outcomes were already unambiguously determined before the interruption may be settled under the applicable rules. Other selections may be void if the match is not completed within the stated period.
- Completed later: where an interrupted match resumes or is replayed, settlement depends on the official result and the relevant market conditions.
- Incorrect event details: a material error in the teams, date, competition, or market may result in correction, cancellation, or void settlement under the applicable rules.
Do not assume that every postponed football match betting selection will receive the same outcome. Check the specific market rules and the applicable completion deadline before placing a bet.
Live football betting settlement
Live football betting rules reflect the fast-changing nature of a match. Odds can move quickly after a goal, red card, penalty, dangerous attack, VAR review, or other significant event. A market may be suspended temporarily while information is checked or the match situation changes.
A live bet is not final until it is accepted and confirmed in the bet slip. A submitted selection may be accepted at the displayed odds, offered at updated odds where available, or rejected if the market has changed or been suspended. Events shown in live displays are informative and may be subject to official confirmation. Visit Best Konjo Bet live for available in-play markets.
Odds changes and bet confirmation
A football odds change can happen at any time before a bet is accepted. The odds shown when you first select a market may no longer be available when you submit the bet. The final odds are those shown on the accepted bet confirmation, not necessarily those first displayed on the market page.
Review your bet slip before confirming, especially for live football. Check the selection, stake, market period, odds, and possible payout shown by the system. Best Konjo Bet may reject a bet where the price is no longer available, the market is suspended, or a technical issue affects acceptance.
VAR, official data and result corrections
VAR decisions can change the status of a goal, penalty, red card, or other event. During a review, affected markets may be suspended until the event is confirmed or overturned. Football bet settlement is based on the applicable official data and market rules rather than an initial on-screen indication.
If an official source corrects a result or event after settlement, Best Konjo Bet may review the affected wagers in line with its Terms and Conditions. Official corrections, technical issues, and disputed data are handled according to those published conditions.
Player, cards and corners markets
Special football markets can have additional conditions. Check the specific market rules before placing a bet.
- Player markets: settlement may depend on whether a player takes part in the match, starts, or enters the field of play. A player who does not play may lead to a void selection where the relevant rules provide for this.
- Goalscorer markets: goals are generally credited according to official match data. Own goals are not normally credited as a player goalscorer selection unless the market rules say otherwise.
- Cards: the treatment of cards issued to players, substitutes, coaches, or team staff depends on the individual cards market.
- Corners: only officially awarded and taken corners are normally relevant. A corner retaken or later corrected may be reflected in official data.
Examples of football bet settlement

Responsible football betting
Football betting should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money. Only bet what you can afford to lose and take a break if betting stops being enjoyable. Support tools, limits, pauses, and self-exclusion options are explained in Responsible Gaming. Betting is for adults only; please review the Age Restriction Policy.
