Bet Types Explained
Single Bet
A bet on one match with one selection. Your payout is your stake multiplied by the odds. For example, a 100 ETB stake at odds of 2.50 pays out 250 ETB if your selection wins.
Accumulator (Acca)
A bet combining 2 or more selections from different matches. All selections must win for the bet to pay out. The odds are multiplied together, so accumulators offer higher potential returns. For example, three selections at 2.00, 1.50, and 1.80 give total odds of 5.40.
Market Types
- 1X2: Bet on Home win (1), Draw (X), or Away win (2)
- Double Chance: Bet on two outcomes at once — 1X, X2, or 12
- Over/Under 2.5: Bet on total goals being over or under 2.5
- Both Teams to Score: Bet on whether both teams will score (Yes/No)
