'''Double chance''' is a wager where two of the three possible outcomes of a match (home win, away win, draw) are selected. Bet tickets win if the match results in either of the two selected outcomes. While double chance [[betting market]]s are offered for many sports they are most frequently used when betting on football (soccer) due to the relatively higher frequency of draws.
== Possibilities ==
Given that double chance wagers select two of the three possible game outcomes among home team win, away team win, and draw there are three possible ways to set up a ticket.
=== Home team and draw ===
Abbreviated ''1X'', a double chance wager on ''home team and draw'' will win if the home team wins outright or draws the game.
=== Away team and draw ===
Abbreviated ''X2'', a double chance wager on ''away team and draw'' will win if the away team wins outright or draws the game.
=== Home team and away team ===
Abbreviated ''12'', a double chance wager on ''home team and away team'' will win if the game does not end in a draw.
