Double Chance football predictions is a betting category that helps punters to lower their risk for each by allowing them to easily wager on two possible outcomes in a football match out of three possible outcomes that can easily be located or accessed in a football match. Your preferable bookmaker does not even matter when you want to place your bet on this market, so whether you are using Bet9ja, Sportybet, Betking, or 1xbet, you only have an opportunity to bet on the home team to win or draw (1x), the home and away team to win (12), and the away team to win or draw (x2).
One good advantage of playing double chance predictions in your ticket is the possibility of being able to reduce the risk of losing and increase the chances of winning your bet. For instance, in a football match in which two giant teams are playing together, instead of just placing a bet on a sure straight win in your ticket or a direct win prediction, you can reduce your risk by either playing double chance 1x or double chance x2; in case they end up playing a draw, (x) you still end up on a safer side. In layman's language double chance football predictions are a betting category that balances risk and reward for bettors.
In as much as this betting market can be the most preferable among punters, there is a greater need for you to manage your risk before you place a bet on a particular game. The main purpose is to reduce the risk of losing your hard-earned currency in your one stake or, if care is not taken, going bankrupt as well because we have certain factors that can change the outcome of the betting result, which include luck, goals, referee decisions, last-man tackles that lead to red cards, and injury reports from key players that can affect your betting result.
Double chance football predictions in football betting mean you simply wager or back two possible outcomes to occur in a football match out of the three possible outcomes that you may likely see in a game. And the majority categories that you can easily bet on when you play this option in your ticket include the home team to win or draw (1x), the home or away team to win (12), and the away team to win or draw (X2).
In order not to make things complicated, we have a scoreline that you can use to check whether your bet is successful or not. For instance, if you place your bet on the home team to win or draw (1x), otherwise known as double chance, 1x the scoreline includes 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2, 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4. On the other hand, if you choose to place your bet on the home team to win or draw (12), otherwise known as double chance 12, the scoreline will include 1-0, 0-1, 2-0, 0-2, 2-1, 1-2, 3-0, 0-3, 3-1, 1-3, 3-2, 2-3, 4-0, 0-4, 4-1, 1-4, 4-2, 2-4, 4-3, and 3-4.
However, if you decided to place your bet on the away team to win or draw (x2), otherwise known as double chance x2, your scoreline would include 0-1, 1-1, 0-2, 1-2, 2-2, 0-3, 1-3, 2-3, 3-3, 0-4, 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, and 4-4. If the team that you backed in your ticket decided to play anything besides the scoreline above, it would automatically result in a loss of bet and your stake.
An example of double chance predictions is a football match that takes place between Sunderland FC and Borussia Dortmund at Stadium of Light during the UEFA Champions League, and you place a bet on the home and away teams to win or draw 12 at the end of full time (90 minutes) of the game. If Sunderland wins by 1-0, you have won your bet and your stake. On the other hand, if the game ends 0-2 in favour of Borussia Dortmund, then you can successfully cash out your bet and your stake, but anything that makes both teams draw the match will result in a loss of your bet and your stake.
You only have to wager on two possible outcomes in the football match at the same time; both teams need to score in the first 45 minutes of the game or play.
The main focus of this category is the first 45 minutes of the game; whatever happens in the second half does not affect the betting result. Once you place a bet on 1st half double chance, you simply wager on whether the match will end with 1x, 12, or x2 at the end of the first 45 minutes of the game.
Double chance and over 2.5 is a betting combo where you successfully wager on two possible outcomes in a football match, but before your bet is considered valid, irrespective of the bookmaker that you are using, the team that you backed in your ticket needs to score at least three or more goals before the final whistle of the game.
Double Chance 1x means you simply wager on the home team to win or draw 1x.
Double chance x2 means you have to wager on the away team to win or draw x2.
Double Chance 12 means you only have to bet on the home or away team to win 12.
