1X2 Betting Explained

Bet types & concepts1X2

1X2 is the classic football market — a bet on the match result. This guide explains what the symbols mean and how it settles, with hypothetical examples only.

Key takeaways
  • 1 is the home win, X is the draw and 2 is the away win.
  • No, unless stated.
  • 1X2 backs a single outcome for full odds; double chance covers two outcomes for shorter odds.

What 1X2 means

The three symbols stand for the three outcomes: 1 = home win, X = draw, 2 = away win. You back one of the three.

Example. A bet on '1' wins only if the home side wins. A draw or away win loses it.

Settlement

1X2 is settled on regulation time — 90 minutes plus stoppage — unless a market clearly states it includes extra time. Cup ties decided in extra time still settle 1X2 on the 90-minute result.

1X2 vs double chance

1X2 backs a single outcome for full odds; double chance covers two outcomes for shorter odds. Choose 1X2 for value on a clear pick, double chance for safety on a tight match.

1X2 vs draw no bet

Draw no bet removes the draw by refunding on it, while 1X2 treats the draw as a losing result for the team you backed. DNB is safer but pays less than backing a team on 1X2.
