Types of bets you can place on Stake

Match winner, moneyline, and 1x2 bets

These are the most common bet types available on most sports. Match winner bets, also known as moneyline bets, are a simple prediction of which team or player you think will win the match. There are only 2 options available to bet on.

1x2 bets, also known as match winner (threeway) bets, give you 3 different options to bet on. You can bet on either team/player, or on the match ending in a draw.

Parlays, accumulators, and same-game multis

Parlays, also known as accumulators, are where you combine multiple bets into one. This increases your odds and potential payout. Read our parlay guide for more information.

Same-game multi bets work in the same way, but specifically allow you to combine multiple bets within the same game. Just look for the multi bet markets.

These types of bets offer the potential for higher payouts, but also have a higher risk. Every selection in your bet slip needs to land for it to payout. You can use unique bet protection tools like the Stake Shield feature to lower the risk, allowing you to still win a payout if your bet loses by one or more selections.

Live betting and in-play markets

Stake offers extensive betting options for both pre-match and live games. Live betting allows you to take advantage of the odds as they change in real-time, reacting to what’s happening on the pitch. You can also cash out bets live to take your winnings early at Stake. Just look for the cashout button in your bet slip. Check out the differences between pre-match and live betting.
