When you learn how to place bet on Admiral Shark, understanding outcome categories can help you build more informed bets. These main outcome types appear in many sports, particularly football and cricket, and affect how wins and losses are settled.
Match result (1X2)
This outcome type covers home win, draw, or away win in events where a draw is possible. You choose one of the three outcomes before the event starts or during live betting. The bet wins if the final result, after regular time, matches your chosen outcome; any extra time or penalties usually do not count unless stated.
Double chance
Double chance outcomes let you cover two results in one bet: home win or draw, away win or draw, or home win or away win. This lowers risk compared to picking just one outcome, but the odds are usually shorter. Your bet wins if the actual match result is one of the two results you selected.
Handicap betting
Handicap markets give one team or player a virtual head start or deficit before the event begins. You bet on the outcome after that handicap is applied to the final score, which can balance matches between strong and weak sides. The bet wins if, after applying the handicap line shown in the market, your chosen side has the better adjusted result.
Totals (over/under)
Totals outcomes focus on the combined number of goals, runs, points, or similar statistics in a match. You bet on whether the final number will be over or under the line set in the market. The bet wins if the actual total is higher than an "over" line or lower than an "under" line, as stated in your selection.
Both teams to score
This type is common in football betting and focuses only on whether each team scores at least once. You pick "yes" if you think both teams will score, or "no" if you expect at least one side to keep a clean sheet. The bet wins if the full-time score matches your chosen yes or no option.
