Double chance explained
A double chance bet covers two of the three possible results in one selection, so it wins more often than a straight 1X2 bet but pays shorter odds. It is one of the most popular markets for steady, lower-risk betting.
- 1X: home win or draw.
- X2: away win or draw.
- 12: either team wins, so only the draw loses.
How we choose double chance tips
We pick the option with the highest probability for each match while keeping the price above our minimum. Short-priced 1X and X2 tips often come from strong teams that might not be safe enough for a straight home win or away win.
Getting the most from it
Because the odds are short, a single loss can cancel several wins. Keep stakes consistent, avoid stacking too many double chance picks into one accumulator, and track the market over time on the results page.
Frequently asked questions
Which double chance option is safest?
It depends on the match. 1X suits a strong home team, X2 a strong visitor, and 12 a game where a draw looks unlikely. We publish whichever option has the highest probability.
Does a draw win a 12 bet?
No. A 12 bet wins on a home or away win and loses only on a draw.
