”Double Chance & GG/NG” in Football Sports Betting – Explained with Examples + Betting Tips


What is Double Chance & GG/NG?

This is a combo bet where you combine Double Chance (DC) with Both Teams to Score (BTTS – GG/NG) in a single market.

  • Double Chance (DC): You bet on two possible outcomes of a match:
    • 1X → Home win or Draw
    • X2 → Away win or Draw
    • 12 → Home win or Away win (no draw)
  • GG/NG (Both Teams to Score):
    • GG (Yes): Both teams will score at least one goal.
    • NG (No): At least one team will not score.

When combined, it means you are predicting two outcomes together: a double chance result + whether both teams will score or not.


Examples with Club Teams

Example 1: Manchester United vs Tottenham (Premier League)

  • Bet: Double Chance (1X) & GG
  • Meaning: You are betting that Manchester United will not lose (either win or draw) AND both teams will score.

If the match ends:

  • Man Utd 2–2 Spurs (1X correct, GG correct → Bet wins)
  • Man Utd 1–0 Spurs (1X correct, but NG → Bet loses)
  • Spurs 2–1 Man Utd (1X wrong, GG correct → Bet loses)

Example 2: Barcelona vs Getafe (La Liga)

  • Bet: Double Chance (12) & NG
  • Meaning: You are betting that the match will not end in a draw (either Barca or Getafe wins) AND at least one team will fail to score.

If the match ends:

  • Barcelona 3–0 Getafe (12 correct, NG correct → Bet wins)
  • Barcelona 2–1 Getafe (12 correct, but GG → Bet loses)
  • Barcelona 1–1 Getafe (12 wrong → Bet loses even if NG)

Betting Tips for Double Chance & GG/NG

  1. Check Team Styles:
    • Teams like Liverpool, Tottenham, Dortmund → usually GG specialists (attacking, leaky defenses).
    • Teams like Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan → often win-to-nil (NG fits).
  2. Use Double Chance to Increase Safety:
    • If you expect a tight match but goals from both sides → 1X & GG or X2 & GG is safer than just GG.
    • If you expect one-sided dominance → 12 & NG works well.
  3. Head-to-Head Records:
    • Look for historical GG trends (like Arsenal vs Spurs derbies = high GG probability).
    • Or low-scoring rivalries (like Atletico vs Getafe = often NG).
  4. Form & Injuries:
    • If a team is missing key strikers → NG becomes stronger.
    • If both teams are strong in attack but weak defensively → GG fits.

Best Situations to Use It:

  • Derbies or evenly matched games → Go for Double Chance + GG.
  • Top vs Weak team → Go for Double Chance + NG (strong team likely wins without conceding).

Would you like me to create a table with scenarios (1X + GG, X2 + NG, etc.) and when best to use each one for quick betting reference?
