In this example, we will show you how to place a bet on an English Premier League soccer game. First, click on “Football” followed by “England” and then click “English Premier League”.
(3)Select your bet type & place your bet
One of the easiest to understand bet types is “1X2 Match Betting” (also known as Money Line or Full Time Result). A 1X2 Match Betting bet means you pick which team you think will either win or tie. In our example above, we have three choices by either picking 1 – Home) Manchester City to win, 2 – Away) Brighton and Hove Albion to win or X – Draw) Manchester City to tie Brighton and Hove Albion. In this example, we will pick Manchester City to win, therefore we will click on the odds 1.16.
After clicking the odds that you would like to place a bet on, your bet selection will show under “Bet Slip” located on the right-hand side of the screen.
Keep in mind that the amount shown in the “Est. Winnings” section is only your profit if the bet you placed is a winning one. If you do win your bet, the profit in the “Est. Winnings” section plus the amount of your stake combined will be returned to you.
Once you have entered the stake for your bet(s), next click the “PLACE BET” button to finalize your bet(s).
※ Note the date and time of the match in the left-hand side of the screen. The date and time are displayed per the time zone of the country that you selected when first registering at the site.

Examples of other bet options
Double Chance
A “Double Chance” bet means that you can place one bet on two different outcomes such as 1) the home team wins or ties, 2) the away team wins or ties or 3) no tie score (“Manchester City / Brighton and Hove Albion” in this example), which means either the home team wins or away team wins.
Correct Score
A “Correct Score” bet means that you can place a bet on what you think will be the final score of the game.
Half Time / Full Time
A “Half Time / Full Time” bet, also known as a “1st Half Result/2nd Half Result” bet, means that you can place a bet on what you think will be the correct outcome of the first half and also the final score. Using the Manchester City – Brighton and Hove Albion example, if the score at half time is 0-1 and the final score is 2-1, you would need to bet on “Brighton and Hove Albion / Manchester City” in order to win the bet.
