Double Chance betting explained

Double Chance combines two of the three Match Winner outcomes into a single bet, covering for example Home-or-Draw. It pays lower odds than backing the outcome outright, because it only loses if the excluded outcome happens: it's essentially insurance against one specific result.

Double Chance is mathematically derivable from the three Match Winner prices, so a fair Double Chance line can be calculated directly from Pinnacle's no-vig 1X2 odds even on matches where a soft book hasn't updated its own Double Chance price recently. It's a lower-liquidity market, so stakes and limits tend to be smaller here.
