BET TYPES  

Single  

A bet on the result of a single event.  

Earnings in a single bet are equal to the sum of the bet multiplied by the ratio of the gain. Simple or single bet is the simplest form of gambling: an event and its forecast.  

Combination  

The combination bet is one of the most used bet types. Here the Player combines several bets into one. The total fee is derived by multiplying the odds of the different bets. To win the bet you must hit all the results. Example: Juventus Turin – AS Roma: Home team to win (1), Tottenham Hotspur – Chelsea FC: Both teams to score (YES), Real Madrid – Getafe CF: Over/Under (over 2.5) – Total Fee: 1.76 x 1.8 x 1.95 x stake (£1) = £6.18.  

As soon as you make more than one prediction of different sporting events (e.g., two different football games), you have the potential to generate a combination bet. The total quota is obtained by multiplying the odds of all individual forecasts. Please note that you will only get the gain of a combination bet if you hit all the predictions made.  

Types of Accumulation Bets  

The vast majority of bets can be combined. Only some of them, such as certain Formula 1 bets, lack this ability and can only be closed as simple. The decision whether a prediction can be combined with other is taken by the bookie and depends inter alia on the relevant party or event. You will be told if this is so later in the time of closing the bet. Important note: bets belonging to the same event cannot play as often or as combined betting system.  

System bet  

As opposed to single bets or combination bets that are either simply won or lost as a whole, each individual bet within the system bet is treated separately, so one system bet could eventually contain a mix of winning and losing bets. For system bets, sometimes the player can win less than the stake, and sometimes quite a bit more.  

The key difference between a system bet and multi-leg (accumulator) bet is that you can win a system bet even if not all of your picks are correct whereas an acca fails if one leg is lost. For example, a 2/3 system bet will be successful if you lose one of the legs.  

Banker bet  

Banker bet is a part of a system bet (like an accumulator, for example) that must succeed, otherwise the entire wager fails. Because of the importance of the banker bet succeeding, the bettor will usually choose their banker bet to be the bet within a system that they feel has the highest probability of success.  

Jackpot Bet  

Jackpot bet will be shown and settled as regular bet, but placed on a fixed game where events are settled according to the result of the Fixture  

RULES  

If the outcome of a market cannot be verified officially, it will be our concern to void any market to delay the settlement until official confirmation.  

If markets were offered when the outcome was already verified, it will be our concern to void any market.  

In the case of any obviously incorrectly displayed or calculated prices, it will be our concern to void any market.  

If coverage has to be abandoned and the match finishes regularly, all markets will be settled according to the final result. If the outcome of a market cannot be verified officially, it will be our concern to void any market.  

In the case of an incorrect settlement of markets, it will be our concern to correct them anytime.  

If a match does not adhere to the generally accepted format (e.g., unusual period length, counting procedure, format of a match etc.); it will be our concern to void any market.  

If the rules or format of a match differ from our accepted norm, it will be our concern to void any market.  

If a match is not completed or not played (e.g., through disqualification, interruption, withdrawal, changes in draws etc.), all not decided markets are considered void.  

European handicap is basically a 3-way bet, similar to a 1X2 match result bet. That is why it is also found as “Handicap” or “3-way handicap” on all sports and similar sidebet like 1st half market will be settled according to these rules. In any match with a significant difference in strength between the two teams, a handicap is placed on the outsider, in order to make it harder for the favourite to win the bet or the reverse with favourite. So far the function is the same with Asian Handicap. Here is the significant difference: the European Handicap (abbreviated as EH) is always an integer number, meaning it can be matched with a goal difference. Instead of placing an Asian Handicap of -1,5 goals or -0,25 goals, the European handicap is always of a -1, -2, -3 etc. kind.  

As in Asian Handicap the main target is to get rid of the draw result (with a non-integer handicap you can actually win or lose the bet), the European Handicap actually has a “draw” result. Which is not, of course, the actual draw of the game, but the “equalizing” of the specific handicap set by the online bookmaker.  

A very important thing, on our feed we apply ALWAYS the HANDICAP value (-1),(-2),(+1),(+2) on HOME TEAM.  

European handicap bets usually appear like this:  

Team A (-2) – Draw (-2) – Team B (-2)  

What does this mean? Let’s take a closer look:  

• Team A (-2): If you back this option, you win when the team in question wins by three goals or more.  

• Draw (-2): In this case, you win if the match favourite wins by exactly two goals.  

• Team B (-2): The last option favours the outsider of the match. Your bet will be considered a winning one if your backed team either wins the match, gets a draw, or even loses by one goal.  

Player Props markets are available for AFL, EPL, English Championship, Bundesliga, La Liga, Italian Serie A, UEFA Champions League, Soccer World Cup, MLB, NBA, NFL and NRL leagues with these terms and conditions:  

1. All Player Markets include overtime for bet resulting. Penalty shootouts are not included.  

1. If any player selected for any bet type does not participate in game, then all bets on that player shall be Voided.  

1. If the match starts but is abandoned or suspended at any time before the match reaches a natural end and the match does not resume within 48 hours, then all undecided bets on that player shall be Voided.  

1. All bets created prior to the venue change shall be Voided.  

1. Bets on players where match is marked as postponed or cancelled in game state before the scheduled start time shall be left with pending status and resulted if the game starts within 48 hours of the original (global game time) scheduled start time. If game does not start within 48 hours, bets shall be Voided.  

If there is a Dead Heat, you will win part of your bet and lose part of your bet. A Dead Heat is calculated by dividing the stake proportionally between the number of winners in the event. So, in a two-way Dead Heat (2 winners) for example, your return will be half of what it could have been. Dead heat rules do not apply when the tie or draw is offered in the market. Effectively when you have a dead heat, one part of your bet is treated as a winner, and one part as a loser. If a three-way dead-heat, one part (33.33%) would be a winner, and two parts (66.66%) would be losers.  

Example with 3 winners:  

• Customer A backs Cristiano Ronaldo for £10 at 1.8 to be Top Serie A Scorer  

• Customer B backs Ciro Immobile for £20 at 3.0 to be Top Serie A Scorer  

• Customer C backs Didier Drogba for £5 at 5.0 to be Top Serie A Scorer  

In a three way dead heat the following returns would be expected:  

• Customer A – (£10 / 3 = £3.33) * 1.8 = £6 return  

• Customer B – (£20 / 3 = £6.67) * 3.0 = £20 return  

• Customer C – (£5 / 3 = £1.67) * 5.0 = £8,3 return
