How to do Football bet at Betway?

At Betway Nigeria, you can bet on the football action in a couple of different ways. From betting on just a single football match to picking the three-way result within one match, and more. Different ways to bet on football include:

  • Double-chance : With this bet you can cover two of three possible outcomes in a single bet. You can bet that the home team will win or the match will draw; that the away team will win or the match will draw; or that either team will win the match.
  • Handicaps: This online betting type allows you to bet on the outcome of a match where one team’s given several goals or points to start. The bets are settled on the outcome once handicaps have been adjusted for. This is a great way to bet when you’re absolutely sure a team will win hands down.
  • Correct scores: For this betting, you can predict the actual scoreline after a full 90 minute’s play. For games that may go into extra time, the extra time will not count for your bet.
  • The number of goals : Bet on the predicted number of goals in a football match.
  • Half Time/Full Time: Predict the results at half-time and then at the end of match play.
  • Draw no bet: This is similar to the full-time result, but you can’t bet on a draw. So, you can bet on either team winning, and if a draw occurs, you get your wager back.

Get the chance to place Multi Bets where you can combine more than one football match or different kinds of bets together to accumulate the winning odds.

Remember to pick your events carefully and you could win a life-changing amount of money even if you place a low wager.
