Double Result – Way of Increasing Odds

At present, various bookmakers offer a wide range of betting possibilities in order to increase odds and make betting more interesting. Thus, a double result bet is a variant of increasing odds and, consequently, the winning amount because this type of bets implies forecast of the result of a game divided into half-time and full-time. Most commonly, double result is used for football matches, and bettors, instead of usual three, are offered with nine betting possibilities.

Of course, each of the above mentioned double results implies different odds for every particular game, which depends upon teams and place of the game. The most attractive odds are observed for Win/Loss double result, which means that a home team is to win half-time, while the entire game will be successfully finished for an away team. Such an increase of odds is explained by the fact that football teams usually play better at home. However, you should not forget that the higher odds are, the lesser the winning probability is.

In other words, this kind of betting means that you are to divide the game into two parts and choose a probable outcome for each of them. This possibility is extremely appreciated by punters who know tactics of different teams. The fact is that some teams more actively start their games in order to crush their opponents, while others wait until their opponents get tired and win them in the second half. Of course, it is rather difficult to predict. But, various betting websites provide their users with detailed statistics and expert commentaries on the possible outcomes for the both parts of the game.

Generally, this kind of bets is indicated in the following way. H/H means that a home team is to win two parts of the game. A/H implies that an away team will win half-time, while the game will be successfully finished for a home team. H/D means that half-time will be for a home team, while the entire game will end in draw. It should be mentioned separately that the double result bet is supposed to be a winning one only if the both results are successful. So, let us imagine that you stake on H/H. In this case, you will not obtain your winning amount if a home team draws at half-time and wins at full-time, because one of two outcomes was not right.
