Bet365 Bet Placement

Bet365 offers a wide range of betting options for users, including sports betting, lotteries, and various markets. This guide will walk you through the different types of bets you can place, how to view and manage your bets, and explain key betting terms used on Bet365.

2-Way and 3-Way Betting

2-Way Betting is typically used in sports with two possible outcomes, such as tennis or basketball. You bet on one of the two possible results. For example, you may bet on either Team A or Team B to win a match.

3-Way Betting, on the other hand, is used in sports like soccer or rugby where there are three possible outcomes: a win, a draw, or a loss. You can place a bet on either team to win or on the match to end in a draw.

Each Way Bets

An Each Way bet is commonly used in sports like horse racing or golf. It is essentially two bets in one: one bet on the selection to win, and another bet on the selection to place (usually in the top few positions).

  • First Part: Your bet on the selection to win.
  • Second Part: Your bet on the same selection to place (finish in a designated position).

For example, in horse racing, if you bet on a horse to win and it finishes in one of the top positions (e.g., 1st, 2nd, or 3rd depending on the market), you receive a payout for the place bet.

Placing a Single Bet

Placing a Single Bet on Bet365 is straightforward. A single bet is when you wager on one outcome in a sporting event or a game.

  1. Choose your market.
  2. Select the odds for your chosen outcome.
  3. Enter the amount you wish to stake.
  4. Click ‘Place Bet’ to confirm.

Viewing Lotto Bets

To view your Lotto Bets on Bet365:

  1. Go to the “My Bets” section.
  2. Select “Lotto” from the menu.
  3. Here you can review your active and past lottery bets.

You can also track results for lottery games you’ve participated in.

Placing an Accumulator/Multiple Bet

An Accumulator Bet or Multiple Bet allows you to combine multiple selections into one bet.

  1. Select your desired outcomes (e.g., matches or races).
  2. Add them to your bet slip.
  3. Choose “Accumulator” from the bet slip options.
  4. Enter your stake and click ‘Place Bet’ to confirm.

The more selections you add to your accumulator, the higher the potential payout. However, all selections must win for the accumulator to be successful.

Betting Terms

Understanding common Betting Terms is crucial for a smooth betting experience. Here are some key terms:

  • Stake: The amount of money you bet
  • Odds: The probability of an outcome, expressed as a number
  • Accumulator: A bet combining multiple selections into one wager
  • Each Way: A bet split into a “win” and a “place” part

Viewing Recent Bets

To view your Recent Bets:

  1. Navigate to the “My Bets” section.
  2. Select “Recent Bets.”
  3. You can see all bets you’ve placed, including their status (whether they’re pending, settled, or canceled).

How to Place an Each Way Bet

To place an Each Way bet on Bet365:
