Double Chance
The double chance bet market is a bettor's safeguard when applied properly. All football matches have just three possible outcomes which are that the home will win, the match ends in a draw or the away side wins the match. There are times when as a bettor you might have doubts as to whether a team will win a football match but be assured that they won't lose due to the opposition they face and the possibility of the match ending in a draw. This is where the double chance bet market comes in handy because it gives you the chance of having two outcomes as your options but at lesser odds.
You can decide to place a bet that the home side either wins a match or the match ends in a draw, the away side wins the match or it ends in a draw or goes for the option that gives you a win when either side wins but the match must not end in a draw. Rather than play the traditional 1X2 bets for bigger odds, this helps to safeguard your bets when a bit of unpredictability comes into play which is to be expected in a sport such as "football".
1X
This is used to denote Home to win the match or it ends in a draw betting option for any match and it is extremely popular among bettors. There are other betting options under double chance such as in the first half of a match or the second half and punters have the option of betting on these when they want.

This means that either of the two sides will win the match either at the end of the match or at the end of any of the two halves in a football match. To win the bet, the match must not end in a draw.
X2

Conclusion
As confident as you are in your ability to predict the outcome of football matches, whenever there's a doubt about any particular match, a double chance will save you a lot of headaches if you plan to win regularly instead of losing cheaply on bets that the outcome doesn't necessarily go sideways completely but needed a little tweak to win. This is especially important for punters who like playing accumulators where a single wrong outcome could prove costly for the whole ticket.
