X-Dog

X-Dog is a betting slang term that refers to a draw (X) and underdog (dog) combination bet in a sporting event. It is mainly used in sports like football (soccer) and American sports where draws are possible.

For example, in football betting:

• X represents a draw in a 1X2 market.
• Dog (underdog) refers to the team that is less favored to win.

An X-Dog bet typically means betting on the underdog to either draw or win, often through double chance (X2) or handicap betting. Bettors use X-Dog strategies when they believe the underdog has a good chance of avoiding defeat but may not necessarily win outright.
