Bet types & in-play

Live betting compresses decisions into seconds, which is why the structure of a bet has to be understood well before the match starts. Everything on this site grows out of this section.

In-play and live streaming are taken first, then cash out and the handicap-style lines such as Asian handicap. The slips follow: single, accumulator, each-way, bet builder, and the full-cover family with its fixed counts of 4 for a Trixie, 11 for a Yankee, 57 for a Heinz and 247 for a Goliath.

A unit stake multiplied by the number of bets gives the total cost of a full-cover slip. Betting in-play is something Great Britain bookmakers provide, and the cash-out price is the operator’s to offer, with no statutory right behind it.
