Double chance
Cover two of the three match results: 1X, X2 or 12.
Strategy hypothesis
Combining outcomes increases hit probability but normally lowers the price. The relevant question remains whether the protection is priced fairly.
Up to five selections per market
Both sides and available lines compete for each place. Every displayed selection has recorded odds and a tracked outcome.

How it works
- 1X covers home or draw.
- X2 covers draw or away.
- 12 covers either team winning and loses on a draw.
When the idea may be useful
- You distrust one outcome more than you favour a single team.
- Draw protection has a measurable price.
- The combined probability can be derived from a complete 1X2 vector.
Where it can fail
- A high hit rate can conceal poor expected value.
- Short prices amplify small estimation errors.
- Adding probabilities is valid only when the underlying outcomes are mutually exclusive and calibrated.
Settlement
The bet wins if either covered regulation-time result occurs.
Worked example
1X at 1.35 covers a home win and draw; it loses only on an away win.
Price check
At 1.35, break-even is 74.1%. “Safer” does not mean fairly priced.
