Double chance
Also known as: 1X, X2, 12
A football market covering two of the three possible 1X2 outcomes in a single bet: home-or-draw (1X), away-or-draw (X2), or home-or-away (12). Shorter odds than any single 1X2 outcome because two outcomes win, but provides a wider safety net. Often used by punters who like the underdog but want draw protection.
