How do you calculate 1X2 odds?

1X2 betting is just betting on the result of a match, usually called match result betting. This means you only need to predict whether the game will win at home, away, or a tie.

We can hear you asking what 1X2 means. Well, generally speaking, your betting odds will be divided into three columns-home, tie and away. 1X2 is directly related to this:

1 = home win
X = tie
2 = Away win

How do the odds work?

If you support the home team (1) and the host wins, so do you. A tie (X) or an away win (2) means you lose. Similarly, if you support the away team (2), then they must win you to win. Similarly, if you bet on a tie (X), then the game must end with the team sharing the trophy before you can win your bet.

So, let’s look at the odds. Each match result has a price, and your return is calculated as follows:

Odds x Stake = Potential Return

Example 1X2 bet

For example, Team A and Team B.

Using STS Bet, the current odds are as follows:

Team B (home 1) are priced at 4.75.

The draw (draw X) is priced at 4.20.

Team A (away 2) are priced at 1.67.

If you bet £10 on Team A to win, your return is calculated as follows:

£10 x 1.67 = £16.70

If Team B defy the odds to either win or draw then you would lose your entire £10 stake.
