In sports betting, Double Chance is a type of staking option that allows the bettor to cover two of the three possible outcomes of a sports event, typically a football match. Specifically, the bettor can choose two of the three possible outcomes, either Home Win and Draw (1X), Away Win and Draw (2X), or Home Win and Away Win (12). This means that if either of the two selected outcomes occurs, the bettor will win the bet. Double Chance betting is popular among bettors who want to increase their chances of winning and reduce the risk of losing their bet.

Now, let’s go through specific market types and their codes, combining double chance bets with other types.
Double Chance + BTTS
The Double Chance + BTTS (Both Teams to Score) market is a combination bet that offers increased odds and higher potential payouts. Bettors can select two outcomes from the three possible results (home win, draw, or away win) and also predict whether both teams will score in the match. This type of bet is popular among football fans who want to maximize their chances of winning while also adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. See the examples of the double chance bets below.

With DC + O/U, you can select two of the three possible outcomes (home win, away win or draw) and simultaneously bet on whether the total number of goals scored in the match will be over or under a predetermined number.
Double Chance + Half / Full Time (DC HT/FT)
Double Chance + Half / Full Time (DC HT/FT) is a type of sports betting where you can combine the double chance bet and the half-time/full-time bet into one. This means that you can predict the match’s outcome at half-time and full-time while also selecting two of the three possible outcomes (home win, away win, or draw) in the double chance bet.
No Bet Double Chance
No Bet Double Chance is a type of sports betting that allows you to bet on two of the three possible outcomes (home win, away win, or draw) while eliminating the possibility of a draw. If the match ends in a draw, your bet is void, and your stake is returned.
Goal & No Goal on Bet9ja
Goal & No Goal is a betting market on the Nigerian sports betting platform Bet9ja. In this market, the bettor predicts whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match or not – goalless. The options are typically listed as Goal or Yes and No Goal or No, respectively. If the bettor selects Goal or Yes, then both teams must score at least one goal during the match for the bet to be a winner. Conversely, if the bettor selects No Goal or No Goal, then neither team must score any goals during the match for the bet to be a winner.
All these market types with combined bet types are popular among soccer bettors as they offer a higher chance of winning but lower potential payouts than a traditional double chance bet.
