The double chance market is similar to the moneyline market and is even considered a two-way moneyline bet by some sources. Through this market, bettors only need to guess two outcomes.
Through the image above, one can see that bettors have three choices with two outcomes each.
- 1X – Home Win or Draw
- 12 – Home Win or Away Win
- 2X – Away Win or Draw
As long as one of the outcomes occurs, like betting on 12 and one team does win, the bettor wins. For example, bettor bets on either Utsiktens BK or Skovde AIK to win and Skovde AIK wins as the underdog, the bettor wins. This works the same way for the first half version, except that only the outcome of the first half of a football match matters. So, a bettor making the same bet as the first full time bet can lose if both teams don’t score or it ends in a draw.
