01 Definition
Double chance lets you cover two of the three possible outcomes: Home or Draw (1X), Away or Draw (X2), or Home or Away (12). It offers lower odds but higher probability of winning. It's essentially a safer version of match result betting.
02 Example
Double Chance 1X (Home or Draw) on Manchester United at 1.35. You win if United win or draw, only losing if the away team wins. The reduced risk comes at the cost of lower returns.
03 Why It Matters
Double chance is often used by recreational bettors for "safer" bets. While the perceived safety is real (higher win rate), the mathematical edge is usually negative because bookmakers price the coverage accurately.
