Half-time prediction, End of match & HT/FT prediction: What's the difference?

Sometimes, on sports betting sites or in specialized sections, you may read "HT/FT prediction". This is an abbreviation of Half Time/Full Time, which simply means "half-time/end of match".

So it's just another way of naming the Half Time/Full-Time bet. The two terms mean exactly the same thing in sports betting.

In the Atletico vs Barcelona match, if it is 0-0 at half-time Barca wins the match 0-3, the tie / away prediction is valid.

In the Atletico vs Barcelona match, if Atletico is leading 1-0 at half-time, but the score is 1-1 at the end of the match, the home/draw prediction is won.

In the Atletico vs Barcelona match, if the Universitarios are leading 0-2 at halftime, but the score is 2-2 at the end of the match, the away/draw prediction is the winner.
