Double chance
A Double Chance bet allows you to cover two of the three possible outcomes in the match with one bet.
Double Chance Betting in Soccer – Detailed Explanation
Double Chance betting is a popular option because it reduces risk by covering two possible outcomes in a soccer match instead of just one.
This makes it a safer bet than a standard 1X2 (Win-Draw-Win) market but with lower odds.
How Does Double Chance Work?
In a regular 1X2 bet, you have to pick one exact result:
1 – Home team wins
X – Draw
2 – Away team wins
With Double Chance, you combine two of these outcomes into one bet:
Types of Double Chance Bets
1X (Home Win or Draw)
You win if the home team wins or if the game ends in a draw.
You lose only if the away team wins.
Useful when betting on a strong home team or a match where the home team is slightly weaker but unlikely to lose.
X2 (Draw or Away Win)
You win if the away team wins or if the game ends in a draw.
You lose only if the home team wins.
Good when betting on an underdog away team that might not win but can avoid losing.
12 (Home Win or Away Win – No Draw)
You win if either team wins.
You lose only if the match ends in a draw.
Great for games where both teams are attacking and likely to score.
Example of Double Chance Betting
Match: Manchester United vs. Chelsea
Standard 1X2 odds:
Man United Win (1) – 2.10
Draw (X) – 3.30
Chelsea Win (2) – 3.40
Double Chance odds:
1X (Man United or Draw) – 1.30
X2 (Draw or Chelsea Win) – 1.65
12 (Man United or Chelsea Win – No Draw) – 1.35
As you can see, the Double Chance odds are lower because the bet is safer.
