1X2
Also known as: Match result, Three-way
The standard three-way football match result market: home win (1), draw (X), away win (2). The most-traded football market in the UK. Carries a typical bookmaker overround of 4-7% in Premier League, higher in lower leagues. The "draw" is structurally the worst-priced of the three for most punters because casual money skews to backing one team to win.
