What are P1 and P2 in sports betting
Outcome betting is the most common market in sports betting. There are three possible choices in the outcome market:

- X - a bet on a draw.
- P2 - a bet on the victory of the guests.
Bets on the outcome bookmakers offer betting on the main time. It should be taken into account in matches where a draw is possible during regular time.
Let's look at three examples of calculating bets on the outcome for the amount of $100:
- P1 in the tennis match Roger Federer - Rafael Nadal for odds of 2.20. If Federer wins, the payout will be $220: 100 x 2.20.
- X in a soccer match "Real" - "Barcelona" for odds 3.75. In the event of a draw, the payout will be $375: $100 x 3.75.
- P2 in CSKA vs SKA hockey for odds 4.20. In case the guests win in regulation time, the payout will be $420: $100 x 4.20. Any other outcome is unsuitable. Even the victory of SKA in overtime or by shootout.
In sports where a draw is impossible, bookmakers offer bets only on the outcomes of P1 and P2. For example, in tennis and volleyball.
