How do you calculate a Double Bet?

A betting double is a good way to see how accumulator betting works. Let’s say you place a £10 stake on 2/1 and 8/11 double bet options. Your first and second set of odds are multiplied together. And converted to decimals, that calculation becomes: 10 x 3.0 x 1.7273 = 51.82. With this arrangement, you gain a much higher profit than you would by simply placing two single bets.

While calculating your returns helps you understand what makes the difference with a betting double, there’s no need to constantly resort to such ‘heavy lifting’. Just use our online win double bet calculator to compute your profit before placing your bet, or if you need an each-way double calculator. One popular use of a double bet strategy is to improve your profit when betting on two favourites.

What is a Golf Dead Heat

A double bet is the most easy-to-understand multiple bets on offer. It’s just two different bet selections combined into one bet. If your betting double succeeds, you win and receive a payout – better than you could expect from placing two separate single bets on the same selections. If you’re looking to move beyond a single bet and try out new options, a double bet may be a worthwhile place to start.
