1X2 Odds
| Shelbourne (1) | X | Crystal Palace (2) |
| 11/1 | 16/3 | 3/17 |
1×2 is a straightforward approach to betting in a football match. It offers three possible outcomes:
- A win for Shelbourne (Team 1)
- A draw (X)
- A win for Crystal Palace (Team 2)
If you examine the Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace betting odds, they are 11/1 for Shelbourne, 16/3 for a draw, and 3/17 for Crystal Palace. In fractional odds, the denominator represents the bet amount, and the numerator tells how much you can expect to win if your team wins. So, if you bet a pound on Shelbourne and they win, you’ll receive £11 in profit plus your original stake. A draw, priced at 16/3, will return £16 on a £3 bet, while Crystal Palace’s win with 3/17 odds will return £3 for every £17 staked.
When you simplify the above Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace odds, you receive £11 on every £1 wagered on Shelbourne (long odds) and £0.17 for every pound wagered on Crystal Palace (short odds). As you can see, the bets on Crystal Palace give the lowest return. When bookmakers see that an outcome is quite likely, they lower the odds to even out the market.
Similarly, when they think an outcome is less likely, they give long odds on that team. Here, Shelbourne has long odds, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bet on them. The odds are just an analysis. They neither affect nor guide the actual outcome of the match.
Look at both teams’ recent form, injuries, and starting line-ups before taking the 1X2 bet.
Double Chance
| Shelbourne or Draw | Shelbourne or Crystal Palace | Draw or Crystal Palace |
| 14/5 | 1/11 | 1/25 |
Double chance betting is a safe market if you believe the match will be completely unpredictable. This market allows you to pick two out of three outcomes:
- A win for Shelbourne or a draw: This bet loses if Crystal Palace wins.
- A win for either Shelbourne or Crystal Palace: Loses if the match ends in a draw.
- A draw or a win for Crystal Palace: This bet loses if Shelbourne wins.
The odds are shorter in this market because your risk is lower and your chances of winning are higher.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Shelbourne (+2) | Crystal Palace (-2) |
| 20/27 | 20/21 |
| Shelbourne (+1.5) | Crystal Palace (-1.5) |
| 13/10 | 9/17 |
| Shelbourne (+2.25) | Crystal Palace (-2.25) |
| 4/6 | 21/20 |
Handicap is a useful market when both teams appear to be unevenly matched. Bookmakers give the weaker team a head start by giving them additional points and impose a disadvantage on the stronger team by subtracting the same points from them. For example, with a (+/-) 1.5 handicap, a score of 3–1 will be read as 1.5–2.5. This gives better value in matches that seem one-sided.
If you look at the Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace odds in this market, all handicaps are positive for Shelbourne. This means the Eagle will need to win with a large goal margin to overcome the gap. Here are a few examples:
- Shelbourne (+2)/ Crystal Palace (-2): Bets on Shelbourne win if they win, draw, or lose by three or fewer goals. For example, the score of 0–3 will be adjusted as 2–1. A four-goal difference will lead to a draw. Bets on Crystal Palace will win if they win by a five-goal margin.
- Shelbourne (+1.5)/ Crystal Palace (-1.5): Crystal Palace needs to win by a 4-goal difference to overcome this handicap. A 2–3 win for Crystal Palace will be calculated as 3.5–1.5, giving a win to bets on Shelbourne. If they win 0–4, they will be able to overcome the handicap as the final score becomes 1.5–2.5.
- Shelbourne (+2.25)/ Crystal Palace (-2.25): This handicap gives Shelbourne an even bigger advantage. Their bet wins even if they lose by a four-goal margin (0–4 becomes 2.25–1.75).
Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 21/20 | 4/6 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) considers only a specific aspect of the game – whether both teams will be able to score at least once during the entire match. Yes bets win as long as the final score is at least 1–1.
“No” bets win if there is a zero in the final score. For example, if the match ends 0–0, 1–0, or 0–2, the “No” bets win. This is because at least one team failed to score a goal. When the final score has a zero, it is called a “clean sheet”, which indicates a strong defense. Examine both teams’ clean sheets when considering the Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace odds in the BTTS market.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 3.5 | Under 3.5 |
| 1/1 | 4/6 |
Here, you have to predict the total number of goals scored by both teams. For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over/Under 3.5 goals. This means the combined score must be at least four or higher for the “Over” bets to win, and under three for the “Under” bets to win. So, results like 1–3, 2–3, or 0–4 would all win for the “Over” bet, and results like 0–0, 0–1 would win for the “Under” bet.
Shelbourne averaged 1.1 goals in their last 10 matches while Crystal Palace averaged 1.3. This brings their combined average total to 2.4, which is under the 3.5 betting line. Use this data to minimize your risk.

| 0–0 | 20/1 |
| 1–0 | 35/1 |
| 1–1 | 11/1 |
| 0–1 | 7/1 |
| 2–0 | 100/1 |
| 0–2 | 19/4 |
| 2–2 | 25/1 |
This is a difficult market to bet on because you need to consider two aspects of the game in this – who will win, and what will be the exact score.
For example, if you think Crystal Palace will be the winner, then it is safer to take the 1X2 bet. Consider this market only if you are confident about the final score. The Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace odds in the correct score market typically offer higher payouts due to the difficulty of predicting an exact result. But remember, even with the analysis, this market still involves a fair bit of risk, so bet cautiously.
