1×2 Betting Tips & Predictions – Teams to Win or Draw

For those taking a punt on football and looking for recommendations, 1×2 betting tips keep it simple. This page is all about that most basic of markets. At BetIdeas, we provide AI-generated 1×2 predictions today for free, so you know which teams the computer says to back based on data modelling.

What Does 1×2 Mean in Betting?

1×2 refers to a betting market based around the match result of a football game. The 1, the x and the 2, each refer to a possible outcome in this three-way betting market. Here’s a breakdown of how it works.

• 1 – home team
• x – draw
• 2 – away team

The origins of 1×2 come from pools and betting coupons in bookmaker shops. These coupons would list upcoming matches and bettors could indicate their football predictions by entering a 1, x, or 2.

When online gambling sites were introduced, 1×2 betting odds were used for wagering on a football match, as they were familiar for bettors. They’re perhaps becoming a little less common now, but plenty of betting sites still use them.

How Does 1×2 Betting Work?

Let’s show you how 1×2 betting works for a full-time result with an example.
Manchester United are hosting Liverpool in the FA Cup. Though United have home advantage, it’s the visitors that are considered the stronger team and favourites. The odds look like this.

• 1 – Manchester United @ 3.90
• x – The Draw @ 4.30
• 2 – Liverpool @ 1.93

The away team Liverpool (2) are the odds-on favourites with a 1.93 price, just a shade under Evens. A £10 bet on them would return £9.30 in winnings, plus your original £10 stake back. We can surmise that if they were at home, their odds would be much shorter.

A Manchester United home win (1) is next in the betting at 3.90. This time, a £10 bet could return £39 in winnings, as well as the returned stake. Slightly bigger is the option of the draw (x) at 4.30, which would return winnings of £43 from that £10 bet.

While it’s a simple market, the fact that there are three options results in reasonably big prices for each of 1, x and 2. It only takes a late equaliser to turn a 1-2 win into a 2-2 draw. With football being a sport that is relatively low scoring compared with others, there can be sudden swings in result markets.

In this scenario, the game is a cup match. It is important to remember with 1×2 markets that it simply refers to the regular 90 minutes and any added time for stoppages.

If the game is level at the end of that timeframe, then the result of the bet is a draw (x). This is regardless of any extra time or penalties that might decide the overall result of the match.
