Types of Bets

Betika supports multiple bet types across its sportsbook, giving you full control over how you structure each wager. The three most popular formats are outlined below.

  • Single Bet: A wager placed on one outcome in a single event. You select one pick, for example Liverpool to win, and if that outcome is correct, you receive your stake multiplied by the odds. This is the most straightforward bet type for new players;
  • Multibet (Accumulator): A single bet that combines two or more selections from different events into one bet slip. All selections must win for the bet to pay out. The total odds are calculated by multiplying each individual odd together, which increases potential returns significantly;
  • System Bet: A structured bet that covers multiple combinations within a set of selections. For example, a System 2/3 on three matches generates three separate two-fold combinations, meaning you can still win even if one selection loses.

Main Types of Outcomes for Betting

Betika offers a broad range of betting markets across its sportsbook, each with distinct outcome categories and settlement rules. Understanding these market types helps you make more informed selections before placing a bet on Betika.

Match Outcome (1X2)

The 1X2 market is the most common football betting outcome on Betika. You pick one of three results for a match: 1 for a home team win, X for a draw, or 2 for an away team win. The bet is settled based on the full-time result only.

Example: Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards.

  • 1 = Gor Mahia wins (odds: 2.10);
  • X = Draw (odds: 3.20);
  • 2 = AFC Leopards wins (odds: 3.50).

If you back Gor Mahia and they win 2-0, your bet is settled as a winner.

Over/Under (Total Goals)

In this market, you bet on whether the total number of goals scored in a match will be above or below a specified line set by Betika. The most common line in football is 2.5 goals.

Example: Manchester City vs Arsenal, Total Goals line: 2.5.

  • Over 2.5 = 3 or more goals scored in the match (odds: 1.85);
  • Under 2.5 = 0, 1, or 2 goals scored (odds: 1.95).

If the match ends 2-1 (3 goals total), an Over 2.5 selection wins. If it ends 1-0, an Under 2.5 selection wins.

Both Teams to Score (GG/NG)

This market, commonly labelled GG (Goal-Goal) or NG (No Goal) on Betika, asks you to predict whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match. The final scoreline does not affect the outcome.

Example: Tottenham vs Chelsea.

  • GG = Both teams score (odds: 1.75);
  • NG = At least one team fails to score (odds: 2.00).

If the match ends 1-1 or 2-1, GG is settled as a winner. If it ends 1-0, NG wins because only one team scored.

Handicap Betting

Handicap markets on Betika give one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage before the match starts, expressed as a goal line (e.g., -1 or +1). This market is common when there is a significant difference in team strength.

Example: Kenya vs Tanzania, Asian Handicap: Kenya -1.

  • Kenya -1 = Kenya must win by 2 or more goals for the bet to win;
  • Tanzania +1 = Tanzania must not lose by more than 1 goal for the bet to win.

If Kenya wins 2-0, a Kenya -1 handicap bet wins. If Kenya wins 1-0, the bet is lost because the handicap line cancels out the margin.

Correct Score

The Correct Score market requires you to predict the exact final scoreline of a match. This market carries higher odds due to the precision required, making it a higher-risk, higher-reward option available on the Betika sportsbook.

Example: Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

  • Correct Score 2-1 to Real Madrid (odds: 8.00);
  • Correct Score 1-1 (odds: 6.50);
  • Correct Score 0-0 (odds: 9.00).

If you select 2-1 Real Madrid and the match ends exactly 2-1, your stake is multiplied by the listed odds. Any other scoreline results in a lost bet.
