You are likely to do a hold in real life almost never. The only time real holds are done is in poor weather where airplanes are stacked up by ATC waiting to get a chance to shoot approaches to minimums usually, so at that time you would like to be sharp on your skills.
You actually do triple the inbound heading correction on the outbound leg. The inbound leg is one minute, both turns you are using standard rate; 1 minute each, and the outbound leg is 1 minute. Say the correction on inbound leg is 5 degrees. Since there is no wind correction on the turns, you have to account for 3 minutes of correction on the outbound leg. Hence triple the inbound correction.
