Please note: If you would prefer to place single or system bets, you need to select the desired option. | How do System Bets work? A system bet allows you to win even if not all games are correctly predicted. A system bet is made up of several combination bets. The total stake is calculated depending on the number of possible combinations. Example: Betting event | Odd 1 | Odd X | Odd 2 | Honefoss - Lillestrom | 3.55 | 3.45 | 2.00 | Orebro SK - Elfsborg | 2.62 | 3.20 | 2.62 | Helsingborgh - Hacken | 1.66 | 3.60 | 5.25 | Hannover - Genclerbirligi | 1.90 | 3.30 | 3.60 | You have selected 4 games and are playing the system 3 out of 4. You decide on the following predictions: • Honefoss to win • Orebro SK to win • Helsingborgh to win • Hannover to win | | Assuming a stake of 30 ? per combination (sequence), your total stake comes to 120 ?. This system produces the following four possible combinations. Combinations: Combination 1 | | Combination 2 | | Combination 3 | | Combination 4 | | Honefoss win | 3.55 | Honefoss win | 3.55 | Honefoss win | 3.55 | Orebro SK win | 2.62 | Orebro SK win | 2.62 | Orebro SK win | 2.62 | Helsingborgh win | 1.66 | Helsingborgh win | 1.66 | Helsingborgh win | 1.66 | Hannover win | 1.90 | Hannover win | 1.90 | Hannover win | 1.90 | Let’s assume that the Honefoss, Helsingborgh and Hannover games are predicted correctly, and that only the Orebro SK game is predicted wrongly. That means the winnings are calculated as follows: since Orebro SK lost, combinations 1, 2 and 4 are incorrect. Combination 3 is correct, so the odds will be: 3.55 (Honefoss win) x 1.66 (Helsingborgh win) x 1.90 (Hannover win) = 11.19. This results in a pay-out of 335.90 ? (from a stake of 30 ? per combination). Note that for a stake of 120 ?and despite one incorrect prediction, the winnings still amount to 335.90 ?! The system played in our example was 3 out of 4. Of course you can also bet on different systems. The number of possible combinations which apply to each respective system is shown in the following table: System | Combinations | System | Combinations | System | Combinations | 2 out of 3 | 3 | 3 out of 9 | 84 | 10 out of 11 | 11 | 2 out of 4 | 6 | 4 out of 9 | 126 | 2 out of 12 | 66 | 3 out of 4 | 4 | 5 out of 9 | 126 | 3 out of 12 | 220 | 2 out of 5 | 10 | 6 out of 9 | 84 | 4 out of 12 | 495 | 3 out of 5 | 10 | 7 out of 9 | 36 | 5 out of 12 | 792 | 4 out of 5 | 5 | 8 out of 9 | 9 | 6 out of 12 | 924 | 2 out of 6 | 15 | 2 out of 10 | 45 | 7 out of 12 | 792 | 3 out of 6 | 20 | 3 out of 10 | 120 | 8 out of 12 | 495 | 4 out of 6 | 15 | 4 out of 10 | 210 | 9 out of 12 | 220 | 5 out of 6 | 6 | 5 out of 10 | 252 | 10 out of 12 | 66 | 2 out of 7 | 21 | 6 out of 10 | 210 | 11 out of 12 | 12 | 3 out of 7 | 35 | 7 out of 10 | 120 | 2 out of 13 | 78 | 4 out of 7 | 35 | 8 out of 10 | 45 | 3 out of 13 | 286 | 5 out of 7 | 21 | 9 out of 10 | 10 | 4 out of 13 | 715 | 6 out of 7 | 7 | 2 out of 11 | 55 | 5 out of 13 | 1287 | 2 out of 8 | 28 | 3 out of 11 | 165 | 6 out of 13 | 1716 | 3 out of 8 | 56 | 4 out of 11 | 330 | 7 out of 13 | 1716 | 4 out of 8 | 70 | 5 out of 11 | 462 | 8 out of 13 | 1287 | 5 out of 8 | 56 | 6 out of 11 | 462 | 9 out of 13 | 715 | 6 out of 8 | 28 | 7 out of 11 | 330 | 10 out of 13 | 286 | 7 out of 8 | 8 | 8 out of 11 | 165 | 11 out of 13 | 78 | 2 out of 9 | 36 | 9 out of 11 | 55 | 12 out of 13 | 13 | The combined stake is calculated from your stake per possible combination (sequence) multiplied by the number chosen. If you play a 4 out of 6 system and bet EUR 10 per combination (sequence), the total stake comes to EUR 150 (10 x 15). | I bet on a game that was postponed. What happens to my bet? If a betting event fails to take place as scheduled, for any reason, or if it ends without an official score and is not resumed within 24 hours, the stakes will be refunded or credited to your account. If you picked the game for a multi (parlay) or system bet, the pick will be evaluated at odds of 1 to 1. | My bet has not been settled yet. Why not? First of all, please check the detailed view of the corresponding bet under «BETS»/«Bets List» to make sure that the betting event has already taken place. If the event has already taken place and more than three hours have elapsed since the announcement of the results but your bet is still open, please contact our customer support team, indicating your user ID and the corresponding bet slip number (as displayed in the detailed view of the bet). Please note that there may sometimes be delays in the evaluation because the results must be confirmed by official sources. In the case of live bets, the bets are evaluated in real time as the game progresses. In individual cases, there may be delays in the settlement. For example, it may be necessary to review the film footage in order to ensure a correct evaluation. This cannot be done until the game is over, since managing the live bet generally takes priority. | How do I place a live bet? • Selecting a live event from the list will open a new page.
