What is W2 Bet

W2 (stand for ‘Winner 2’) is when you bet on the away team to win the game in regulation time. It’s also called ‘Away’ or ‘2’.

Note: Regulation time is the normal duration of the game, excluding any extra time or penalty shootouts. If the game goes to extra time or penalties, the W2 bet loses, even if the home team eventually wins.

Where to Find W2 Bet at 1xBet and Other Bookies

You can find the W2 bet among the 1×2 market options. It’s also called ‘Match Result’ or ‘Full Time Result’ at some bookies.

Different bookies may use different labels for W2 bet, but they all mean the same thing: the away team will win the game.

  • W2 – 1xBet, Melbet, Betwinner, 1xBit
  • Away – BetMGM, William Hill
  • 2 – Bet365, Unibet, Betfair, Bwin, Pinnacle
  • Team Name – DraftKings, Stake

How to Place a W2 Bet

  1. Pick a game and a market. Choose any game and the match result market (the final outcome of the game).
  2. Back the away team to win. Select the away team as the winner of the game. Look for the ‘W2’ or ‘2’ symbol (Away Wins) next to the away team’s name or logo.
  3. Check the odds & the payout. Check the odds of the away team to win the game. Multiply the odds by your stake to get the potential payout.
  4. Bet & wait. Place your W2 bet and wait for the result. You win if the away team wins the game. You lose if the away team draws or loses the game.

How to Calculate Your W2 Winnings: Example

To calculate your W2 winnings, you need to know the betting odds and the stake of your W2 bet, and the result of the game. 

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United

Let’s say you want to bet on a match: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United. You think Manchester United will win away, so you make a W2 bet on them. The odds for them to win are 1.98.

  • Stake: $10
  • Potential payout: 1.98 x 10 = $19.8
  • Profit: $19.8 – $10 = $9.8

This means that you bet $10 on Manchester United to win the game against Nottingham Forest. Since Manchester United won the game, you win your W2 bet and the payout is $19.8, while the profit is $9.8. But if Manchester United drew or lost the game, you would lose your W2 bet and the payout would be zero.

W2 Betting Tips and Tricks

  • Do your research. Before you place a W2 bet, make sure you do some research on the away team’s form, performance, injuries, motivation, etc. You can use stats, news, analysis, and expert opinions to help you.
  • Find the best value. Different bookies may offer different odds for the same W2 bet. You can use odds comparison sites to find the best odds.
  • Avoid the slump. Avoid betting on the away team if they have been in a rut or shaky in their recent games, showing weakness and fatigue.
  • Consider the edge. Look for factors that give the away team an edge over the home team, such as loyal fans, positive head-to-head record, etc.
