This video explains how a win double bet works, with a calm and descriptive voiceover ideal for beginners.
❏ What is a Win Double Bet?
❖ A win double bet is a single wager on two selections (e.g., horse races, football matches, politics) to both win their respective events. If both selections win, you receive a payout based on the combined odds and your stake. If either selection comes 2nd, 3rd, or worse, the bet is lost.
- The Bet▸ One Bet▸ 2 Selections▸ 1 Stake▸ 2 Wins Required▸ You Collect
- Bet On?▸ Horse Races▸ Football Matches▸ Boxing▸ Politics▸ Weather▸ Alien Invasion
- Payout▸ Winnings from the first selection roll over as a stake on the second. Example: £1 at evens (£2 return) rolls onto evens = £4 total return.
❖ Fractional Odds Example▸ A £1 bet on two selections at 2/1 each▸ First win returns £3 (£1 ❌ (2) ➕ 1 = £3) ~ which is staked on the second at 2/1 ~ returning £9 (£3 ❌ (2) ➕ 3 = £9). Total return = £9 (£8 profit ➕ £1 stake). Confused yet? Our calculator makes it easy ~ just input your stake and odds, then press calculate.
❖ Fractional or Decimal▸ Fractional odds and decimal odds are written slightly differently. UK bookmakers use a fractional odds format. European bookies use decimal odds. Simple comparison in the table below.
❏ Understanding Odds Formats
❖ Fractional odds are common in the UK, showing the profit relative to the stake. Below are examples including Evens▸ 6/4▸ 4/1▸ 9/2▸ 9/1▸
| Fractional | Decimal Equivalent | Profit on £10 Stake |
|---|---|---|
| 1/1 (Evens) | 2.00 | £10 |
| 6/4 | 2.50 | £15 |
| 4/1 | 5.00 | £40 |
| 9/2 | 5.50 | £45 |
| 9/1 | 10.00 | £90 |
❏ From Even Money to 6/4▸ Even Money (1/1) means a £1 stake wins £1 profit. Moving to 6/4, you win £1.50 for every £1 staked, increasing profit by 50%.
❏ From 4/1 to 9/2▸ At 4/1, a £1 stake wins £4 profit. The jump to 9/2 means £4.50 per £1 staked, a 12.5% increase in profit.
❏ Bigger Prices▸ Odds like 9/1 mean a £1 stake returns £9 profit, plus your stake back.
