Key Takeaways

Double Chance is a bet that includes two of the three possible outcomes from a three-way moneyline. In a three-way moneyline, there are three possible outcomes.

  1. Home team wins
  2. Away team wins
  3. Draw

Double chance wagers have three possible combinations.

  1. Home team wins or draw
  2. Away team wins or draw
  3. Away team or home team wins

If either one of the two outcomes in your selected wager happens then your bet wins.

Double Chance Bet in Match Betting

A three-way moneyline wager covers one of three possible outcomes, and a double chance covers two of three. This allows a three-way moneyline to be paired with a double chance in a way that covers all possible outcomes.
