<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\nUnderstanding the Advantages of Double Bet<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n The most tangible upside of placing this kind of bet is the potential for a higher pay-out, courtesy of the combined odds<\/strong>. While single bets are simpler and don\u2019t involve heavy-duty calculations, chances are their returns wouldn\u2019t be as lucrative as those on double bets. Also, you can hope to back two selections that might be low-value, and still rake in the moolah.<\/p>\n\n
\n Let\u2019s understand how:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n Consider you only stake \u00a310 on Watford to win against Fulham at odds of 3\/1<\/em> and Swansea to beat Blackburn at 2\/1<\/em>. You are confident that both these selections will turn up in your favour.<\/p>\n\n
\n If Watford wins:<\/p>\n\n
\n You get a profit of \u00a330 (\u00a310 x 3\/1) and your pay-out would stand at \u00a340 (original stake of \u00a310 + \u00a330). This pay-out is then used to stake on a Swansea win against Blackburn at odds of 2\/1.<\/p>\n\n
\n If Swansea wins:<\/p>\n\n
\n You net a profit of \u00a380 (\u00a340 x 2\/1), and your total pay-out becomes \u00a3120 (combined stake of \u00a340 + \u00a380).<\/p>\n\n
\n Note that by playing a double bet, your total winnings amount to \u00a3120, a whopping profit of \u00a3110 from that original stake of \u00a310<\/strong> that you began with. That is equivalent to odds of 11\/1 on your wager<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n
