Special bets: wagers on events outside sport in the pre-match line
Special bets are wagers on events that lie outside sports results. In the 1xBet pre-match line, the Special Bets section gathers groups such as Space, Weather, Music and World's Most Livable City. 2027, and every event in them shows its own date on the event page.
Groups and how outcomes are written
Group | What it covers |
|---|---|
two events dated 15 June 2027: the winner, with each outcome written as a city name followed by Yes (Copenhagen, Vienna, Melbourne, Sydney, Zurich, Osaka, Vancouver, Tokyo and others), and the highest-ranked Australian city among Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney | |
Snow on Christmas Day. 2026, dated 25 December 2026, with one outcome per airport: Paris Charles de Gaulle, London City, New York JFK, Manchester, Edinburgh and others | |
questions about extraterrestrial life, each title ending with the deadline year, 2026 |
The city event titles do not name the ranking behind them. One annual ranking of this kind is the Global Liveability Index of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), which scores 173 cities in five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. In its 2026 edition, published in July, Copenhagen came first for the second year in a row, ahead of Vienna, Melbourne and Sydney. Among Australian cities, that edition placed Melbourne third, Sydney fourth and Adelaide eighth.
What a weather or space outcome depends on
In the weather group, the answer is tied to one place: every outcome of the Christmas 2026 question names a specific airport, so Paris and Manchester are separate outcomes.
The space group rests on a question that science has not settled. NASA's astrobiology pages present βDoes life exist beyond our home planet?β as an open question.
