The 2up Software

The 2up offer, also known as 2 goals ahead or early payout, pays out your bet as a winner the moment your team goes two goals in front, even if the game later swings the other way. It is one of the best early payout offers going, with big potential, and there are hundreds of games across loads of leagues to choose from. Early payout offers also run on other sports, from the NFL and NBA to ice hockey, and on the AFL and NRL once those seasons are underway. With so many games available, it can be hard to work out which ones are best, and that is exactly what the 2up software does for you.

The data it gives you

The ideal 2up scenario is that the team you back goes two goals up, then goes on to draw or lose, so you win the bookie bet on the early payout and win your lay at the exchange as well. To help you find the best games, the software gives you:

• Both teams to score, and 4+ goals: the percentage chance of each, since you need enough goals for the payout to trigger.
• Qualifying loss: the small loss you take if the early payout does not trigger, shown as a percentage so you can keep it as low as possible.
• QL divided by payout: weighs that qualifying loss against how much you would be paid if it does trigger, so a slightly bigger loss on a bigger payout can still be a strong play.
• Rating: an overall score that combines all of the above and does the hard work for you. The higher the rating, the better the opportunity.

One honest point: like anything with variance, 2up offers come with losing streaks along the way. Stay consistent and keep your qualifying losses small, and they add up nicely over the long run.

Reading the rating

If you only look at one column, make it the rating. It takes everything into account and highlights the strongest games, so you can simply scan for the best-rated matches and decide which ones you want to get involved with.

Filters

You can filter the list to suit how you play. Narrow it to a date, such as this weekend, and set a minimum odds if your strategy is to only back teams above a certain price. The list updates instantly.

Locking in profit

If you would rather lock in a profit than let a bet run to the final whistle, the early payout calculator lets you do that. It is handy when you cannot watch a game live, such as the European matches that play overnight.

The short version

The 2up software takes the legwork out of finding the best early payout games and makes a popular offer far easier to work. Start free with a BonusBank account and give it a try.
