Betting on sports online can be an exciting and potentially lucrative experience for those who play responsibly. If you have never placed a bet before, this guide will help you understand the basics and start making your bets on Premier Bet, where you bet with the best in Africa.
🔥What are Odds?
Odds are the foundation of any bet. They represent the likelihood of an event happening and determine how much you can win if your bet is successful.
Decimal Odds
Decimal odds are the most common in Europe and Africa. They directly show the total amount you will win for each unit bet. For example, if you bet €10 on odds of 2.50, you will win €25 (€10 x 2.50).
🏆How Betting Markets Work
Betting markets refer to the different betting options available for a sporting event. We offer a wide range of markets, including:
1X2 (Full-Time Result)
This is the simplest and most popular market, where you bet on the final result of the game:
- 1: Home team win
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team win
Over/Under
In this market, you bet on whether the total goals/points scored in the game will be over (Over) or under (Under) a certain number.
Handicap
The handicap is a way of balancing the odds when there is a clear favourite. A handicap can be positive or negative and is applied to the final result to determine the winner of the bet.
Practical Example of Handicap
Imagine a game between Manchester City and Crystal Palace, where Manchester City is theoretically the favourite. The odds for this game may be very low for a Manchester City win, so the handicap market is used to balance the odds.
Handicap -1.5 for Manchester City
In this scenario, the bet is made with Manchester City starting the game with -1.5 goals. So, for your bet on Manchester City to be successful, the team needs to win the game by a margin of at least 2 goals. For example:
- If Manchester City wins 2-0, 3-1, or 4-2, your bet will be successful.
- If Manchester City wins 1-0 or 2-1, or if the game ends in a draw or a Crystal Palace win, your bet will lose.
Both Teams to Score
Here, you bet on whether both teams will score at least one goal during the game. The options in this market are very simple: Yes or No.
Double Chance
Bet on two of the three possible outcomes (Home team win, draw, or away team win). The options are:
- 1X: Home team win or draw
- 12: Win for either team
- X2: Draw or away team win
