1X2 (match result)
1X2 refers to the three outcomes of a football match: 1 = home win, X = draw, 2 = away win. A 1X2 prediction gives the probability of each; coherent probabilities must always add up to 100%.
It's the simplest and most-followed market. The challenge isn't naming a favourite but correctly weighting the draw — often underrated — and producing probabilities that sum to exactly 100%, which many tips fail to do.
At Elofoot, 1X2 probabilities are computed from match data (form, xG, injuries, head-to-head) and are coherent by construction: they always add up to 100%.
Example
A 1X2 prediction might read 52% (1) / 26% (X) / 22% (2): home favourite, but the draw stays plausible.
