This week at Stake
Team Vitality wins BLAST Rivals Spring 2026
Our CS2 esports partner Team Vitality capped off their run at BLAST Rivals Spring 2026 with another trophy this week. Coming straight off their record-breaking back-to-back ESL Grand Slam at IEM Rio, Vitality showed no signs of slowing down. Astralis fought hard and went deep into the bracket too, giving us plenty to celebrate from both sides of the Stake-sponsored CS2 roster.
UFC 328 takes the fight to Newark this Saturday
The undisputed middleweight title is on the line on 9 May at the Prudential Center, with Khamzat Chimaev putting his belt up for the first time against former champ Sean Strickland. UFC 328 also stars the co-main of Joshua Van vs Tatsuro Taira for the flyweight strap, making this one of the deepest title cards of the year. Make sure you’ve read up on our UFC picks blog before locking in your bets.
El Clásico headlines the LaLiga run-in
Barcelona will host Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday 10 May for the final El Clásico of the LaLiga season.

UFC 328: Chimaev vs Strickland
The headline fight night of the month deserves its own coverage. Our UFC split decision insurance refunds your stake on any winner-market bet that loses by split decision, and we're running boosted odds across the card too. Place your bets on UFC at Stake today.
Soccer - El Clásico and the Champions League run-in
The Premier League early payout and Champions League early payout both pay out winning 1x2 bets if your selection leads at the 90th minute, regardless of what happens after. With the UCL semi-final second legs on 5–6 May and El Clásico on 10 May, this is the busiest soccer week of the month. Explore all our available soccer betting markets at Stake to place your bet.
NBA - second-round playoffs
The conference semis are heating up, and the NBA half-time payout is in effect for every game: bet the Winner market, and if your team leads by 12+ at the half but loses, the bet still pays. Track the bracket on our NBA betting page.
Premier Indian Cricket Series
India's biggest T20 competition is deep in the league phase. The First Ball Payout pays out as a winner if your team hits a six off the first ball and still loses, and the Super Over Payout covers you if your team loses in a Super Over. Find the Indian cricket fixtures to lock in a bet.
Pakistan Super League
The PSL final lands on 3 May, so most of the league phase action wraps this week. The same two safety nets apply: first ball payout and Super Over payout, both on pre-match singles in the Winner (incl. Super Over) market. Bet on the PSL schedule.
MLB
The 9th inning refund is your insurance against a late MLB collapse: if your Winner (incl. extra innings) selection leads going into the ninth and still loses, you get up to $100 back. Daily MLB markets are open all week.
