Help - very simple question

[fatboydems]

i've been betting for about 6 months..

People on this forun often cooment that their pick is:

1x

or

x2

I understand that this means 1x home win or draw. x2 away win or draw. But nowhere can i find a bookie that'll take a 1x bet.

Do i have to place 2 bets ? Is that what you mean.

Help

Well let's take for example Manchester United - Chelsea.

If you choose 1X which is a double chance (look at Gamebookers for example) you place only 1 bet and in order to win the bet Manchester must win or draw.

If you choose X2, again double chance, this is only 1 bet and in order to win the bet Chelsea must win or draw.

there is another type of bet : 1 or 2, this means that the game mustn't end as draw and you win

Hope that I made my self clear

I've just looked at gamebookers... i can't see anywhere that i can pick x2 or 1x.. just 1 or x or 2
