If you are looking for a football prediction that offers more than one potential wins, our double chance prediction page caters for football fans and bettors wanting to analyse the 1X, X2 and 12 selections.

We believe that saying sure win next to every match doesn't necessarily make a prediction any better. At Eketips, we want to explain to you what the selection is about, why we chose it, when it can lose and how to use the information in the best way.

We analyze football games, compare numbers, check the kind of outcome a match can give, and release our tips in a way that you would understand.

If you're after football tips with double chance predictions today, double chance predictions tomorrow, double chance 1X today or the best reliable football tips for the weekend, then we give you a starting point.

What Is Double Chance Prediction?

This is a football pick that involves two of the 3 full time outcomes in a match.

The 3 normal football scores are 1 which is a home team wins, X, which is a match that ends in a draw and 2 is an away team wins.

Double Chance combines two of these outcomes into one choice.

So there are only three combinations

This is the most important thing to know about double chance predictions before using them.

For instance if we publish 1X we are not saying that the home team has to win; what we are saying is that our analysis indicates that the home team will either win or not lose by drawing.

And if we release it X2 in, say, an away game this would be a draw or an away win.

If we put 12, which means we anticipate one of the two teams to win, then the draw would be the outcome that the user's bet should lose to make him lose.

This is probably the most tricky one for new bettors. 12 does not mean that a team will score 1 and the other score 2. It just means that whoever is at home or away will win.

How We Make Double Chance Predictions at Eketips

We at Eketips do not pick 1X, X2 or 12 just because it appears safe to us.
Might just as well say, for example, this looks like a good team, even if not actually selecting the two results to be covered.

The first thing we do is that we start with the fixture itself. Our analysis takes into account, team form, statistics, attack/defense indicators, goal trends, draw trends, game type, game tactic, whether stats are available, and fixture conditions.

We also compare different data points, rather than letting a single number drive the entire forecast.

For instance, a team might seem to be very successful as they have won a number of games. That alone doesn't necessarily mean that 1X is always the best choice. 

We need to know that the team is creating enough opportunities, managing the game well, coping under pressure and producing enough consistency to not get the one result that would ruin the selection.

The same applies to X2.

Even if we think an away side is good enough not to lose, what does the home side bring to the table that could increase the chances of the away side being beaten?

For 12, the pick we get twice as careful as the second pick takes everything away from the actual draw.

A game can appear to be a thrilling draw, but then result in a winner. A game can be a seemingly evenly contested draw, but then result in a winner. Which is why we employ a different simple rule for each fixture.

Double Chance (1X, X2, 12) Betting Tips You Should Know

The worst thing you can do is think that Double Chance means there is no risk.
There is still risk.

Using 1X, there is a chance for the away team to win.

It's still possible for the home team to win with X2.

The match can also be tied with 12.

That is why no selection is guaranteed from our end. You may come across searches like 100 sure double chance tips, today sure double chance prediction or most accurate double chance prediction, so, football won't give you any 100 sure before the match kicks off because even a very strong looking selection can still fail, if not done well.

We recommend using double chance as a means of betting on two different events rather just picking any how.

Secondly, avoid selecting a choice just because the name appears to be less risky.

A 1X tip is a poor choice if the away team will find it easy to dominate.

An X2 tip may be a bad idea if the home team holds a significant tactical edge.
A 12 tip could be a risk even if both sides are happy to take a draw.

So, the question here should be, which of the three can we afford to get rid of?

When We Prefer 1X

We prefer to note down 1X if we know that the home side has a good chance of winning or drawing, whereas an away win is least comfortable with the ending.

You know that some teams do not have to be the strongest team, because there are instances where a balanced fixture is just the place 1X shines.

One potential reason to avoid backing a perfect home win is that the team may have the quality to get the job done but not the certainty for us to back a full-time home win.

This is also why we do not want players to just glance at the name of a club.
Reputation won't take you onto the pitch.

When We Prefer X2

X2 works in the opposite direction.

We leave it out when the away team has enough of a reason not to be beaten, but we don't want to rely totally on the away side winning.

The draw is important here.

A good away performance doesn't always produce three points. Once in a while a side dominates enough to thwart the team's efforts but then cannot go on to snatch win.

Exactly those kinds of moments X2 might be appropriate.

So when we put out an X2 selection, players must understand that we are covering draw/away win, not sure away win.

When We Consider Double Chance 12

12 deserves special attention. It covers both teams to score but not a draw.

That's right, this entire choice can be beat with a 0-0, 1-1, 2-2 or any other draw score.

We don't therefore use 12 just because we think a match is exciting.

We look for cases where the information available provides a good enough reason to exclude the draw.

And this is yet another reason why we value education.

People looking up double chance 12 tips might assume that it's more secure because two teams are protected. But, that's only part of the picture.

There are two successful results but only one result category (resulting in the draw) is not taking into consideration.

Knowing the difference will help you on choosing the right wager.
