It’s pretty straightforward to place a double bet when you join Paddy Power. Paddy’s website and app comes with a bet slip that does the hard work for you.
All you need to do when placing a double bet is to make two selections. These selections don’t even have to be in the same event, match, race, or sport. While most people use doubles for horse racing betting and football betting, there’s nothing to stop you backing a winner at Cheltenham and siding with England to edge Germany.
Once you select your odds, the bet slip will pop up to show both your picks. Simply enter your stake in the “Doubles” section of the bet slip (rather than in the individual selections) and you’ll see your potential winnings.
Effectively, the bet slip becomes a bet calculator!
But the good thing about this double bet calculator is you can test the variables before opening the bet slip.
With the doubles calculator, you can enter the following variables and tweak them to find the right outcome:
- Your bet type – Set the calculator to double and not another bet type
- Odds type – Choose between decimal or fractional odds
- Stake – Enter the amount you plan to bet
- Conditions – Select additional conditions if required, such as Dead Heat, Each Way or Rule 4
