How to Place a Bet
Now it’s time to place your first stake. There are two main types of them: pre-match and live. There’s nothing fearsome or complex waiting for you, we’ll explain in detail, with examples and screenshots.
Pre-match Betting
Judging by the name, this type of bet relates to events that have not started yet, and bookmakers issue odds based on team strengths, league standings, latest news, and so forth. Here’s how you can place a wager before an event starts:
- On the main site or in the app, select the sport that interests you. For our example, let’s choose football.
- Choose the country and league you’d like to bet on. We’ll pick England and the Premier League.
- Select a match from the ones offered. We’ve gone for the upcoming clash between Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
- A variety of potential match events will be presented to you. Choose the market you wish to wager on. As an example, we’ll select the visiting team to score a goal at odds of 1.97.
- Enter the amount you wish to stake in the dedicated field in the Bet Slip and press “Bet Now”.
- That’s it; your stake has been placed. Now you just have to wait for the result.
Live Betting
This type of bet is made on matches currently in progress. Odds change in direct response to what’s happening in the match, so it’s often possible to snag a good coefficient. Here’s how to place an In-Play wager at Betway:
- On the main site or in the app, go to the live section.
- Select the sport that piques your interest. For this example, let’s opt for tennis.
- Scroll through the available matches and pick the one you want to bet on. It’s important to know that not all events are available in the live section. We’ll choose the contest between Alexander Zverev and Dominik Koepfer at the Australian Open 2024.
- Choose the outcome you believe will happen in the game. Let’s say we pick that the total number of games will be under 43.5, at odds of 2.05.
- In the Bet Slip that opens, enter the amount you want to wager and click “Bet Now”.
