1. ENTERING THE SPORTS BOOK
There are two ways to enter the Sports Book from the main page. You can click the top menu SPORTS entry, or you can click the SPORTSBOOK icon in the games section.
When you open the Sports Book, your screen will look similar to this. We will use the desktop version of the Sports Book in this guide.
On the left side, you can choose to look at two different sections: Live and Pre-Match.
Live is for betting on games that are in progress.
Pre-Match is for betting on before the game starts. There are many more betting markets in the Pre-Match section.
2. PLACING BETS
MULTIPLE BETS
You can bet that a combination of markets will happen, which will produce higher odds bets.
You can do this by clicking more than one qualifying market before placing your bet.
PLACING YOUR BET
Once you’ve chosen the market you want to bet on, enter how much you want to bet into the ‘Stake’ box, and then click Place Bets!
You will receive a notification to let you know if the bet is accepted. There are several errors that can come up, such as insufficient funds or a change in the odds.
ODDS CHANGE
Odds change regularly as more information comes in or games progress. This can even happen while you’re setting up your bet.
You will be notified if the odds have changed. You can make any changes to the bet, such as the stake amount.
Once you have decided to bet, push the ACCEPT CHANGES AND PLACE BETS! button.
3. BETTING MARKETS
You can bet on the winner or a draw outcome.
How many goals with both teams get combined. This is an over/under market.
For example, a bet for Over (1.5) would mean that at least two goals need to be scored to win. One team could score twice, or each team could score once, and the bet would bet a winner.
Bet on two possible results in the match.
Betting Options:
1X – Home or Draw
12 – Home or Away
X2 – Away or Draw
Handicap betting is set up to offset perceived differences in the abilities of the two teams.
The team that is felt to be better will have a goal handicap to eliminate the difference for betting purposes. For example they will start the game with -0.5, -1, -1.5, -2 goals. This means that the team has to win by more than the handicap spread for the bet outcome.
How many goals an individual team will get.
Whether or not both teams will get at least one point.
Whether an individual team will get at least one point.
Bet on what the actual score at the end of the match.
Bet on who will be the first team to score in the match.
This type of betting originated in Indonesia and is popular across Asia. That is why it’s called ‘Asian’.
To explain the Asian Handicap Betting System, we will use two examples: Over/Under 0.5 goals, and Over/Under 0.75 goals.
For Over/Under 0.5 Goals, The asian handicap is set at half a goal. This means that if you choose the Over 0.5 bet, then all that is required to win, is one of the teams scoring a single goal. In the same manner, if you bet on Under 0.5, then you expect that no goals will be scored in the match.
For 0.75, this is a quarter goal handicap and is a bit more complex.
Here is how to think about these: Split your quarter handicap bet into two separate bets. One bet is for a full goal, and one is for a half goal. For the 0.75 bet, you can imagine you have two bets: Half your stake is on the 0.5 handicap and the other half on the 1 goal handicap.
If you bet on Over 0.75, a total score of 0 is a loss and 2 or more is a win. If the total score is 1, then the half of your bet that is over 0.5 wins, and the half that is over 1 is a push. Therefore, you receive half of the expected win amount. The table below will show the outcomes for some common bets.
