Pre-match betting
Pre-match bets are placed before the event starts. The odds are fixed when you bet, and you have time to compare markets.
Top events puts the big competitions first, such as the Champions League (UCL), Premier League (EPL) and La Liga.
Live betting
Live bets are placed during the match. Odds move with the score and the clock, and some markets close for a few seconds after big moments.
The live streams filter shows matches that come with video. Each line shows the score, the period and the time played.
Example only. In tennis the X column is empty because there are no draws.
Betting on football
Football has the most events by far. The usual markets are the match result (1X2), double chance, total goals, handicap and correct score.
Beyond the European leagues, we are the title sponsor of FC PWD Bamenda. Availability of Elite One and other African competitions: to be confirmed .

Singles, accumulators and system bets
A single is one selection. An accumulator combines several: the odds multiply, but every selection must win. A system bet splits your selections into several accumulators.
| Market | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1, X, 2 | Home win, draw, away win (regular time) |
| 1X, 12, X2 (double chance) | You cover two of the three outcomes |
| Handicap | Goals added to or taken from a team before the result is worked out |
| Over / Under (total) | More or fewer goals than the line, e.g. over 2.5 |
| Both teams to score | Wins if each team scores at least once |
| Correct score | The exact final score — high odds, hard to hit |
Example accumulator: three selections at 1.50, 2.00 and 1.80 give total odds of 5.40. The full glossary is in French: lexique des paris .
