What “Any Team To Win” Means
“Any Team To Win” is a betting outcome where you’re not picking a specific side, but instead you’re wagering that the match will not end in a draw — i.e., either team wins. In bookmaker terms, this is typically shown as “12” in the Double Chance market.
How It Works
In regular football betting (the 1X2 market):
- 1 = Home team wins
- X = Draw
- 2 = Away team wins
With “12 / Any Team To Win”:
- You win if either the home team wins OR the away team wins.
- You lose if the match ends in a draw.
Why use this?
It effectively removes the draw outcome — useful in games where you think one side must win, but aren’t confident which one.
Simple Example
Match: Team A vs Team B
Bet: 12 / Any Team To Win
Team A wins 1–0 → Your bet wins
Team B wins 2–1 → Your bet wins
Match draws 1–1 → Your bet loses
So you don’t have to decide which team will win — just that someone will.
When It Makes Sense to Use This Bet
Here are situations where this selection can be smarter than picking a single winner:
1. Teams Are Close in Strength
When two sides are evenly matched and a draw is possible, but you think one must edge it, this bet gives you a better chance overall.
2. Draw Probability Is Low
Some leagues or matchups historically have few draws — e.g., matches with aggressive attacking teams.
3. Shorter Odds, Higher Win Chance
Since you’re covering two outcomes instead of one, the odds are typically lower than a straight “Team A to win” or “Team B to win,” but your chance of winning is higher.
Betting Tips & Strategy
Here’s how to use “Any Team To Win” more effectively:
1. Compare Team Form
Look at recent results — if both sides are forcing results (few draws), this bet might be good value.
2. Study League Trends
Some competitions (e.g., high scoring leagues) naturally have fewer draws — increasing the value of a “12” bet.
3. Combine With Stats
If head-to-head history shows many wins for either side but few draws, this bet can pay off.
4. Protect Your Bankroll
Because you don’t predict a specific winner, this reduces risk — but it’s still not guaranteed. Always stake responsibly.
5. Check Odds Carefully
Odds for “12” bets tend to be smaller than standard win bets — but the implied probability is higher. Compare them with other markets (e.g., draw no bet) to find value.
Final Summary
- “Any Team To Win” = Double Chance (12) → covers both teams winning, ignores the draw.
- Good for tight matches where you can’t pick a side but believe a decisive result is likely.
- Lower risk than picking a single winner, with corresponding odds that reflect that.
