§ 02 · What it means

What to look for

In-play betting

Prices move with every score, wicket or try, and the bookmaker's margin can be higher than before kick-off. Betting live also makes it easy to place far more bets than you planned. Decide your stake for a match before it starts.

Cash-out

Cash-out lets you settle a bet early. The offer is priced so the bookmaker keeps an edge, so it usually pays less than the fair value of your bet. Our cash-out calculator shows how much you give up.

Bet builders

Bet builders combine several outcomes from one match into one bet. Because the outcomes are linked, the bookmaker prices the combination itself, and the margin is often bigger than on a single bet.

Common questions

You asked.

Sometimes, but it usually pays less than the bet is worth because the bookmaker builds in a margin. Use our cash-out calculator to see the difference before you accept an offer.

Bookmakers have to price quickly as the game changes, so some add a larger margin to in-play markets to protect themselves.
