A double bet involves two selections in different events. Both selections must win for the bet to return a profit. The stake is placed on the first selection, and if it wins, the winnings and the original stake are then placed on the second selection. This type of bet can offer higher returns than two single bets since the stake is effectively 'rolling over' to the second bet if the first one wins.
