Double chance betting style
Let’s kick off the explanation with an example. In a game between Dortmund and Cologne, Dortmund being a favorite team will most likely win the match but this isn’t so certain because Cologne has had a good run and are ready to go all in. Putting all your eggs in one basket by placing your bet on Dortmund to win, isn’t such a good idea.
The bookmaker then provides you with a double chance market saying “Dortmund would either win or draw” although the odds for the market are always smaller than the odds for Dortmund to win, it’s safer. The double chance market eliminates the risk of that late equalizer that most bettors are scared of. Moving forward with this example.
What are the possible chances in double chance betting?
Bettors should also understand that in double chance betting, there are three possible situations. These situations basically depict how you could place your bet. They include;
- Win Dortmund or Draw (X1) (Home Team or Draw (X1))
- Draw or Win Cologne (X2) (Away Team or Draw (X2))
- Dortmund or Cologne (12) (Home Team or Away Team (12))
In the first situation, you win only if Dortmund wins or the match ends in a draw. For the second situation, the bettor wins if Cologne wins the match, or it ends in a draw. For the last situation which is the most feasible, the bettor wins if any team wins but loses if the match ends in a draw. The best time to engage in double chance betting is when staking on underdogs.
Huge profit is made when an undervalued away team wins. However, most bettors don’t like to stake on an undervalued team. Some matches are always tight even though it’s between a favorite team and a small team, the best bet in this case that would give you higher profit is placing a double chance bet on the small team.
Pros and cons of double chance betting
Using this market, your chances of winning will increase. An increase in the probability of winning decreases the bettor’s feeling of insecurity because, in a situation whereby it is near impossible for a team to lose, you will still have the opportunity to combine two different options and earn cash along the way. No doubt, this is a less risky method of betting when compared with other in-live betting methods.
However, the value is lost. Double chance betting most times has lesser odds when compared to 1X2 bets for football, this bet is the most feasible, albeit the little odds because it comprises two different options.
A strategy in double chance betting
Even with the little odds that double chance betting has. Winning consecutively would mean something to every bettor. How can a bettor win regularly in double chance betting? Here is the strategy; double chance betting is not only possible in football games but also in NHL, NBA, and volleyball. Generally, handball and ice hockey are very unpredictable.
The rate for these games is about 60% which is not encouraging. Volleyball and football on the other hand could have a rate of 80%, but you have to select 2-3 games to meet this rate. You also have to make sure the profit you get is double your capital that is; double chance single bets with odds of 2.00 which is rare or a combination bet of 2-3 games with a quota of 2.00odds.
With this, your third bet could be wrong, and you would still have your profit. Using this strategy, you could make profits between 4-14% depending on your stake. In situations whereby the home and away team have equal odds, the home team most times wins such matches, or it ends in a draw.
A double chance bet on the home team is encouraged in this situation. In the NHL, there’s always an 80% possibility that the favorite wins the 2-way bet. So bettors are also advised to bet on their favorite 2-way market in the NHL. Try as much as possible to avoid system bets because it reduces your chances of winning.
Conclusion
Double chance betting is a risk-minimizing method of betting that is perfect for matches that can’t be easily predicted. Draw outcomes are less common than wins but with a double chance betting market, profit can be made at the slightest opportunity. In as much a sport has 3 possible results, the double chance market remains a possibility.
