Double Chance 12 tips
Modern bookmakers offer a variety of betting options, both high-risk and less dangerous. In this article, we will tell you about the Double Chance market. Keep reading to find out more details.
What is a Double Chance?
A Double Chance is a type of bet on a sporting event that allows the punter to choose two outcomes out of three possible outcomes (e.g. a win for one team or a draw). In classic sporting events with three outcomes - a win for the first team (1), a draw (X), or a win for the second team (2) - a double chance bet reduces risk because it covers two possible outcomes at once.
For example, when you choose this market you can make the following selections:
- 1X: first team wins or draws. If the first team wins or the match ends in a draw, the bet wins. Suitable for matches with a strong home team and draw odds.
- X2: draw or win for the second team. If the match ends in a draw or the second team wins, the bet is successful. Suitable for matches with a strong visiting team and tied odds;
- 12: a win for one of the teams. If the game ends in a win for either team (no draw), the bet will win. Suitable for matches with equal chances of the teams and unlikely draw.
Double Chance bets most often have lower odds than bets on a single outcome. This is due to the fact that in the first case the probability of winning is higher. This type of bet is popular among those who want to reduce risk and increase their chances of success.

Next, we moved to Bet slip to set the bet amount. At the end we familiarised ourselves with the amount of our potential winnings, in case of luck, and clicked on Place a bet.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How do you win double chance "12"?
This type of bet means that you are betting on a win for one of the teams, excluding a draw. This prediction can be a winning one when two teams or players (in a single sport) have approximately the same chances of winning.
How do you calculate double chance?
To calculate the odds for Double Chance, you need to use the odds for single outcomes and apply the correct formula. This approach will help to estimate the probability of winning and choose the ideal strategy for betting.
What is the difference between betting on the Outcome (1X2) and Double Chance?
In the first case, you bet on the victory of one of the teams or a draw. If you bet on a win for team A and the match ends in a draw, your bet is lost. With Double Chance, you minimise the risks and bet either on a win for both teams, or on a win for one of the teams or a draw.
