How does Double Chance betting work?

Double Chance betting is essentially used for giving you a bigger chance of winning from a single event. In football, it can be used to cover two of the possible three outcomes in just one bet. It combines the win/draw for both sides or gets rid of the option for the draw altogether.

Double Chance is a great way to decide between two teams who are in excellent form, known for scoring goals or even two sides struggling for points in the league table. A home/away double chance bet will be a great option for the scenarios above, as it provides insurance should either team come away with a victory. Keep in mind, the possibility that the two teams could still draw is an option, as your betting history can sometimes go that way.

For a side that is particularly strong at home, but have a poor record against their opponents, Home Team/Draw could be the option as it takes into account the home record of the hosts and the recent head-to-head between the visitors.

Double Chance is a sure-fire way of insuring your bet, if you are uncertain who to place your initial stake on. When placing a double chance bet, you will notice the odds will be shorter than normal, which is due to the higher chance of your selection coming in, hence the name ‘double chance’.

The concept of Double Chance is a great way for bettors to increase their chances of winning by placing a bet which offers more guarantees of a successful bet. However, it's important to mention that the odds are significantly reduced in this case, because you are narrowing your options of a potentially losing bet.

Example: Liverpool vs Arsenal: As you can see from the image below, the selection is on Arsenal And Draw. This means for the odds currently listed, Arsenal have to beat Liverpool or gain a draw in order for your bet to be successful. However, should you select Liverpool And Draw, you will have to have either Liverpool to win or a draw as your successful option. Then simply, should you choose Liverpool and Arsenal, for your bet to be a winner, either Liverpool or Arsenal have to win the match.
