Kaizer Chiefs betting example: Kaizer Chiefs vs Golden Arrows
Say you think Chiefs are stronger at home, but a draw worries you. You can use draw no bet (your stake comes back if the match is a draw).
| Market | Odds (example odds) | Return on R20 if it wins |
|---|---|---|
| Kaizer Chiefs win (1) | 1.95 | R39.00 |
| Draw (X) | 3.20 | R64.00 |
| Golden Arrows win (2) | 4.00 | R80.00 |
| Chiefs draw no bet | 1.45 | R29.00 |
You stake (the money you bet) R20 on Chiefs draw no bet at 1.45.
- If the match ends 2–1 to Chiefs, you get R20 × 1.45 = R29. Your profit is R9.
- If the match ends 1–1, you get your R20 back.
- If the match ends 0–1 to Arrows, you lose the R20.
