you\u2019ll find anywhere. It\u2019s available at all <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/\">online betting sites<\/a> on any event between two teams or players that can also result in a draw. All you have to do is predict the result of the event. If your chosen prediction turns out to be correct, your bet will win, and it will be settled at the 1X2 odds given for that outcome.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"1X2_Betting_Example\">1X2 Betting Example<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s illustrate what we\u2019ve just said with a real-life example of 1X2 betting online. Below you\u2019ll see the main 1X2 <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/football\/\">football betting<\/a> market for a match between the USA and Uruguay. The odds being offered for the USA winning are 29\/20 (2.45), the Draw is priced at 11\/5 (3.20), and the odds for a Uruguay win are 2\/1 (3.00).<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20815 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"What is 1X2 Betting\" src=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/What-is-1X2-Betting.jpg\" alt=\"What is 1X2 Betting\" width=\"1024\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/What-is-1X2-Betting.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/What-is-1X2-Betting-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/What-is-1X2-Betting-768x275.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<p>In this example, you might decide to bet \u00a310 on the USA winning the match. If they succeed, your return would be your stake multiplied by the decimal odds of 2.45, which is \u00a324.50. You staked \u00a310, and so your profit would be \u00a314.50 (see <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/guides\/betting-odds-explained\/\">Betting Odds Explained<\/a> if all of this is new to you.) Of course, if Uruguay were to win or the match resulted in a draw, your bet would lose.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Where_to_Find_1X2_Betting_Predictions\">Where to Find 1X2 Betting Predictions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many fans of this kind of wager like to follow 1X2 predictions.

Not all such tipsters are equal, and there is never any guarantee their 1X2 betting predictions will be successful. Another downside is that you will need to land a few winning bets just to cover the subscription costs, which isn\u2019t ideal.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Be_Your_Own_Tipster\">Be Your Own Tipster<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps the best source of 1X2 tips is much closer to home, by which we mean you.

Consider the following:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d6d3;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0ed;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3><span id=\"Easy_to_Understand\">Easy to Understand<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As you\u2019ve seen, 1X2 in sports betting is very easy to understand.

In fact, when non-bettors talk about betting on team sports that can result in a draw, they\u2019re usually referring this this type of wager. That wide availability means that betting 1X2 is something you can do virtually anywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"list_how_to\" id=\"how-to-1x2-betting-tips-and-strategies\" >\n    <h2 class=\"list_how_to__title\"><span id=\"1X2_Betting_Tips_and_Strategies\">1X2 Betting Tips and Strategies<\/span><\/h2>\n    <p class=\"list_how_to__description\">Just because 1X2 betting is easy doesn\u2019t mean that winning comes automatically. You still need to be able to make correct predictions for your bets to give you a return.

For example, in football, it\u2019s common knowledge that home wins are more common than away wins or draws. But did you know that, according to Sky Sports, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11096\/10955089\/sky-sports-bust-common-football-myths-home-advantage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home advantage is more pronounced in the Premier League<\/a> than it is in lower leagues? Spend some time looking into the stats of the game, and you\u2019ll be able to proceed with a more informed view of the arena you\u2019re betting in.<\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Choose_Matches_Carefully\">Choose Matches Carefully<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">When you bet 1X2 on football matches, it can be tempting to bet in a particular way just because you\u2019re a fan of a certain team and you can\u2019t imagine betting on any other outcome. But if you want to improve your chances of winning, you need to base your betting decisions on recent form, not your personal feelings. If the form suggests that you should oppose your favourite team then either bet with the form or avoid betting on that match altogether.<\/div><\/li><li class=\"list_how_to__item\"><h3 class=\"list_how_to__item_title\"><span id=\"Practice_With_Free_Bets\">Practice With Free Bets<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"list_how_to__item_text\">Beting on 1X2 &#8211; like any other form of betting &#8211; is a skill that you will get better at over time. We therefore recommend betting to minimal stakes in the early days. Even better, if you join one or more of the 1X2 betting sites that offer <a href=\"https:\/\/safestbettingsites.co.uk\/free-bets\/\">free bets<\/a>, you can use those bets to gain some experience at the expense of the bookmaker.<\/div><\/li>\n        <\/ol>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Alternatives_to_Betting_1X2\">Alternatives to Betting 1X2<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We love 1X2 betting, but it isn\u2019t the only way to bet, by any means.

Those outcomes are represented by 1, X, and 2, respectively.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"What_is_a_1X2_prediction\">What is a 1X2 prediction?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>A 1X2 winning prediction is simply a prediction about whether an event will end as a home win, draw, or an away win. You can find 1X2 predictions online or in newspapers, but ideally, you should work on coming up with your own 1X2 betting strategy.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"What_does_1X2_mean_in_boxing_betting\">What does 1X2 mean in boxing betting?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>1X2 in boxing (and other compatible sports) works in exactly the same way as 1X2 works in football. The big difference is that draws aren\u2019t nearly as common in boxing, so the odds for that outcome will usually be much more generous.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode\">\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__question\">\n        <h3><span id=\"What_is_1X2_double_chance\">What is 1X2 double chance?<\/span><\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fi-faq-content-shortcode__answer\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <p>This is a particular type of betting market that allows you to bet on two of the three possible outcomes.
