A double result bet is a type of sports bet where the punter places a wager on two outcomes of a single event, typically in football (soccer) matches. The bet covers both the half-time result and the full-time result. The possible outcomes usually include a home win, a draw, or an away win for both the first half and the full match.
Here’s how it works:
– **Half-Time Result**: You predict the score or result at the half-time interval.
– **Full-Time Result**: You predict the final score or result at the end of the regular match time (excluding any extra time or penalties).
For the double result bet to win, you must correctly predict both the half-time and the full-time outcomes. For example, you might bet on a home win at half-time and an away win at full-time. If both of these predictions are correct, your bet wins. If only one of them is correct, or if neither is correct, your bet loses.
This type of bet is popular because it offers the chance to win a higher payout than a single bet on just one of the outcomes, but it is riskier because both predictions must be accurate for the bet to pay out.
