NairaBET Betting Markets Explained (Part 1)

If you have been placing bets for a long time, you may be tempted to not read this blog post. After placing loads of bets over your betting career, you may conclude that there are no new tricks for your “old dog” to learn.

But we’d like for you to see this as some sort of re-orientation. Whether you’re new to betting or not, we’d like for you to gobble up the content in this post like you don’t know anything about betting. Sometimes, we need to unlearn old things to learn new things.

Being the first part, we will concentrate on some of the betting markets. Over the course of the month, we will touch on various other markets. We hope all of these will help improve your betting skills and put more money in your pocket.

Ready? Let’s do this.

1. 3-Way Betting Market (1 X 2)

This is the most popular and straightforward bet you can find. Every sport that has the possibility of a draw occurring has this market. In this market, you simply bet on the match winner. 1 represents the Home Team, 2 is for the Away Team and X is for the possibility of a draw.

Usually, this market lasts for 90 minutes in soccer or the entire duration of the game, depending on the sport, unless otherwise stated by the bookmakers.

2. Half Time-Full Time

This market is commonly seen on the NairaBET as Half-Time/Full-Time or HT/FT. In this type of bet market, you must correctly predict the outcome of both the Half Time and Full Time results to make any money from your bet.

In football, there are nine different options you can choose from, including Home-Home, Home-Draw, Home-Away, Draw-Home, Draw-Draw, Draw-Away, Away-Home, Away-Draw, Away-Away.

Don’t get it twisted. This betting market is also available in other sports, and is not exclusive to football alone.

3. Total Match Points

Just like goals are scored in football, points are scored in other games like the American Football, Rugby and Basketball. In this betting market, you’re required to predict the number of points that will be scored during a specific period in the game.

Because most of these games can run into overtime every now and then, you may find different varieties of this market. In some instances, you may only need to predict the total number of match points. In other instances, you may need to predict the total number of match points that will be scored both in normal time and in overtime too.

4. Correct Score

This market gives you the chance to predict the exact scoreline of a game. Just like in the “Total Match Points” market, there are also different varieties to this market. You can predict the full-time correct score or you can choose to predict the half-time correct score.

This market features options that cover almost every possible result. And even when your option of choice is not mentioned, you can find them in “Other Score”

5. Scorers

This market gives you the chance to back a select player to score in a given game. The most popular one is the “anytime scorer”, and to win this bet, your selected player must score at least one goal during full time.

There are other options as well which includes backing the player to score the first goal or the last goal.

6. Total goals

To win money from this market, you need to predict accurately the range of goals that will be scored in a game. This market offers you a lot of ranges to choose from including: 0-1 goals, 2-3 goals, 4-6 goals, 7 or more goals.

We’ve been able to touch on some of the betting options available to you as a NairaBET customer. In the coming weeks, we will shed more light on many of the other betting options available on the betting platform.
