Unquestionably one of the most recognised forms of betting especially in Africa is the Parley also known as Accumulation, 1×2 betting is the most popular options applied when there are
three totally different outcomes to decide on from, with these being home win, draw and away win.
Mostly commonly used in football, the 1 stands for home win, the X represents the draw and the 2 means you’re going on the away win. Also known as three way betting or full time betting, it’s a popular choice for bookies and gamblers due to its simplicity and ease of use.
Obviously before staking any money, you’ll want to shop around for which bookie is offering up the best odds and if any of these represent value. The aforementioned then needs to be backed up by you undertaking some research to arm yourself with some additional information that could support or steer you away from your proposed bet.
To start with, looking at basic statistics like a team’s home form, away form and how often they draw can be useful. After this, you’ll want to dive a little deeper and check things like how many goals they score at home or away, historical data vs. their opponent or similar opponents, their current form, how many chances they concede and create and how good they are at set pieces on both ends. While doing this can seem annoying and over the top, it’s definitely worth the effort, for it can be the difference between a sound selection and a poor one.
