Double

This is when you place one stake on two bets. Both bets must win for your Double to be a winner.

The potential winnings are greater than if you placed two Single bets as the odds of both results occurring are greater the two bets are multiplied together.

For example, if you placed £20 on the following Double bet, this is how it would be calculated:

Liverpool to beat Tottenham at odds of 10/11

and Everton to beat Aston Villa at 2/1

Liverpool beat Tottenham and your £20 stake becomes approx. £38. This amount then goes on Everton to beat Aston Villa being at 2/1 and he scores. This Double would return approx. £114.

Doubles can be calculated more easily using Decimal Odds. For the above bet, 10/11 is approximately 1.9, and 3/1 is 3. Multiply these together to get 5.7. Multiply that by your £20 stake and you get £114.
