Meaning of 1×2 Betting | FANSPORT Betting GUIDES

“Outcome 1×2” bets are popular due to their simplicity and the wide availability of such markets across various sporting events. Today we explore this betting market

“Outcome 1×2” in sports betting

In the realm of sports wagering, the concept of “Outcome 1×2” holds significance, encapsulating the endeavor to anticipate the culmination of an event. In simpler terms, it entails predicting the triumph of one party over another or foreseeing a stalemate. This betting avenue transcends the specifics of scores and totals, extending its availability across diverse sporting events.

At the forefront of bookmakers’ offerings lies the domain of outcome betting, prominently displayed for clientele perusal. Team probabilities are assessed and encapsulated in coefficients, typically arrayed from left to right: denoting the odds for Team A’s victory (typically the host team in team sports), the prospect of a draw, and the likelihood of Team B’s triumph (usually the visiting team in team sports).

The essence of “1×2” finds its clearest manifestation in football. Consider, for instance, a UEFA Champions League encounter featuring “PSG” versus “Real Madrid.” Here, the likelihood of “PSG’s” home victory is appraised at a coefficient of 1.99, while betting on “Real Madrid’s” away conquest stands at 3.7, with the prospect of a draw valued at 3.85. Such delineations epitomize the conventional outcome 1×2 framework, encapsulating the trifecta of potential event outcomes in team sports.

Within the scope of these matches, bets may be designated as follows:

  1. “1” or “Win 1” or “Victory of Team 1” or “Outcome 1×2”: Placing faith in “Arsenal” emerging victorious.
  2. “2” or “Win 2” or “Victory of Team 2” or “Outcome 1×2”: Banking on “West Ham” securing triumph.
  3. “X” or “Draw” or “Winner of Main Match Time (No)”: Wagering on a deadlock.

Distinguishing between outcome 1×2 and outcome 1-2 entails recognizing:

  1. The former entails selecting among three potential match outcomes – victory for Team 1, victory for Team 2, or a draw. This is often abbreviated as “1,” “2,” and “X,” typical in football listings.
  2. The latter involves choosing between two plausible outcomes – victory for Team 1 or victory for Team 2 (1/2). This scenario arises in sports listings where a draw is precluded, such as tennis, where matches invariably culminate in one athlete’s triumph.

The dichotomy between outcome bets and “Double Chance” bets necessitates elucidation.

While both share similar nomenclature, a crucial distinction emerges. “Double Chance” encompasses composite bets, spanning multiple potential match outcomes. Notably, it encompasses the safeguard against defeat for one of the teams, encompassing either the team’s victory or a draw. Hence, the designations of double chance:

  1. “1x” – Victory for Team 1 or Draw.
  2. “x2” – Victory for Team 2 or Draw.
  3. “12” – Exclusion of a Draw (Mandating Victory for One Side).

Given the dual inclinations encapsulated within double chance, the coefficients therein are markedly lower than those of singular outcome options. For instance, in the aforementioned “PSG” versus “Arsenal” clash, double chance bets are valued as follows:

  1. “1x” (Ensuring “PSG” does not lose, hence either their victory or a draw) – 1.28.
  2. “x2” (Safeguarding “Real Madrid” from loss, thereby their victory or a draw) – 1.82.
  3. “12” (Excluding the prospect of a draw) – 1.26.

Illustrative of betting strategies in the realm of outcome 1×2 are:

  1. The Draw Betting Strategy: Characterized by elevated coefficients for draws vis-a-vis team victories, this approach capitalizes on series of stalemates for specific teams, warranting wagers on draw outcomes. Such a strategy may harmonize with a flat strategy.
  2. The Accumulator Betting Strategy: Despite modest coefficients for outcomes in fixtures featuring favorites and underdogs, amalgamating these selections can yield favorable outcomes. For instance, backing “Manchester City” against “Newcastle” at 1.30 and “Chelsea” against “Wolverhampton” at 1.55 culminates in an accumulator bet with a coefficient of 2.0, contingent upon both favorites securing victories. This tactic mandates meticulous fixture selection.
  3. The Utilization of Statistical Analysis: Success in outcome betting hinges upon exhaustive scrutiny of team metrics throughout the ongoing season. Favorable statistics, such as a team’s win rate exceeding 50% in the current tournament, coupled with the opponent’s inferior track record, can justify backing such a team at odds approximating 2.0. Additionally, recent encounters between teams, head-to-head clashes, tournament dynamics, and other variables merit consideration.

In summation, outcome bets represent the elemental bedrock of sports wagering, warranting familiarity prior to engaging with bookmakers’ platforms. Their straightforward calculation and universal accessibility render them appealing to a broad spectrum of enthusiasts. Moreover, outcome bets inject an element of excitement into the wagering landscape, epitomizing the thrill of backing one’s preferred team while partaking in the spectacle of a riveting contest.
