Double Chance Formulas
How double chance odds are calculated from 1X2 odds
1X (Home or Draw)
1 / (1/2.50 + 1/3.40) = 1.45
X2 (Away or Draw)
1 / (1/2.80 + 1/3.40) = 1.53
12 (Home or Away)
1 / (1/2.50 + 1/2.80) = 1.32
Implied Probability
1.45 odds → (1 / 1.45) × 100 = 68.97%
Understanding Double Chance Betting
1X - Home or Draw
You win if the home team wins OR the match ends in a draw. Only lose if the away team wins. Lower odds but higher win probability.
X2 - Away or Draw
You win if the away team wins OR the match ends in a draw. Only lose if the home team wins. Popular when backing underdogs safely.
12 - Home or Away
You win if either team wins. Only lose on a draw. Best for matches where a draw seems unlikely.
Implied Probability
Shows the combined probability of your selected outcomes based on the odds. Higher probability = lower risk but lower payout.

Pro Tips
Use for Accumulator Safety
Add double chance selections to your accumulators instead of straight wins. Lower odds per leg but much higher chance of the accumulator landing.
Compare with Bookmaker Odds
Calculate fair double chance odds here, then compare with what bookmakers offer. Some books price double chance poorly, creating value.
12 for High-Scoring Leagues
Use 12 (Home or Away) in leagues with few draws like Bundesliga or Eredivisie. Historical draw rates under 20% make 12 bets more valuable.
Pro Strategy
Double chance betting is ideal for building safer accumulators. While individual odds are lower, covering two outcomes per selection significantly increases your overall win probability. For example, a 4-fold accumulator with double chance selections might have 80%+ combined probability compared to ~25% with standard 1X2 picks.
