In chess sports betting, Double Chance is a type of bet that increases your chances of winning by covering two of the three possible outcomes in a match:
Double Chance Options in Chess
Since a chess match can end in:
- Player 1 wins
- Draw
- Player 2 wins
The Double Chance bet lets you choose two of these outcomes in one bet. The available options are:
1X – Player 1 or Draw
- Your bet wins if Player 1 wins or the match ends in a draw.
- You only lose if Player 2 wins.
12 – Player 1 or Player 2
- Your bet wins if either player wins.
- You only lose if the match is a draw.
X2 -Draw or lip Player 2
- Your bet wins if Player 2 wins or the match ends in a draw.
- You only lose if Player 1 wins.
Example:
If Magnus Carlsen is playing Hikaru Nakamura:
- A 1X bet means you win if Carlsen wins or draws.
- A 12 bet wins if Carlsen or Nakamura wins (just no draw).
- An X2 bet wins if Nakamura wins or draws.
Why Use Double Chance?
- It’s lower risk than betting on a single outcome.
- Odds are usually lower than standard win/draw bets, but safer.
- Useful in matches where a draw is highly possible.
