Without further ado, let us get into details of the **Sports Betting Terms You Need to Know**  

1. **1X2:** A simple bet where "1" stands for a home team win, "X" represents a draw, and "2" signifies an away team win. You can find more betting tips for 1X2 on [Betking’s Blog](https://m.betking.com/blog/) 

2. **1X:** This bet combines a home team win ("1") and a draw ("X"), covering both outcomes. 

3. **2X:** This bet combines an away team win ("2") and a draw ("X"), covering both outcomes. 

4. **Over/Under:** This bet involves predicting whether the total number of points, goals, or runs scored in a game will be higher ("Over") or lower ("Under") than a specified value set by the BetKing. 

5. **Chance Mix Total Goals:** A bet on a combination of total goals scored in a match, with a focus on specific ranges (e.g. 0-2 goals, 3-4 goals, etc.).  [BetKing](https://m.betking.com/) provides you with the best odds for Chance Mix Total Goals 

6. **Double Chance:** This bet covers two out of the three outcomes in a match, reducing the risk. For example, "1X" covers a home win or a draw, "12" covers a home or away win, and "X2" covers a draw or an away win.
