Sette e mezzo live betting in Algeria: hand by hand
Sette e mezzo, "seven and a half", is an Italian card game between one player and a dealer, played with a 40-card deck: the aim is to get as close as possible to 7.5 points without going over. Live betting treats every hand as its own event, priced and settled separately, with new hands following one another in the list.
Seven and a half and the Royal version
On the evening of 24 October the Algerian site showed three hands in each of two groups: Royal Sette e Mezzo live and the classic Seven and a half group. Number cards are worth their face value, every picture card is worth half a point and an ace a full point. The classic game makes the king of diamonds a wild card; the Royal game makes the king of spades the strongest card of the deck.
Classic: on equal points the dealer wins unless the player holds a winning combination.
Royal: equal points mean a draw, except a Royal Sette e Mezzo or a 5-5, which goes to the dealer.
Royal dealer: draws below 5 points or when the player has 7.5, and takes another card if the first one is the king of spades.
A finished Royal hand
In one hand that evening the player drew a 6 and a 2, reaching 8 points and going over the limit. The dealer, holding a 7, was declared the winner of that hand. The same page also carried rows for Partita Perfetta, where both first cards share a value, and Mano di Poker.
Hand | Points | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
Player: 6, 2 | 8 | bust |
Dealer: 7 | 7 | wins |
A king of spades with an ace makes 7 points, and adding a jack brings that hand to 7.5.
Markets and settlement
Section 10.198 defines five market types for the game: the winner, the points total, whether a hand busts, how many cards are drawn and which combination appears. If software fails, the game can be stopped and any unsettled bets refunded. Other live sports are on the 1xBet live page.
Stakes on the Algerian site are in dinars (DZD), and a 1xBet account is needed first.
