2. Bet types

2.1 All sport bets proposed on this website are divided by the line types:

Pre-match bets. Bets that can be accepted before the beginning of the events. Such bets are presented on the website in the Sport category.
Live best. Betting on events in real time. Such bets are presented on the website in the Live bets category.

Note:

The match might be broadcasted with a slight delay. This delay vary depending on the method of obtaining information during the game.
In some cases accepting Live events bets might be suspended due to a variety of technical reasons (such as no method of broadcasting a match, technical problems displaying the scored, etc.). Nevertheless all accepted bets will be calculated once the event is over.
Outrights. Bets that are placed beforehand on the winner of a particular part of the event or the winner of the tournament as a whole. The bets are calculated once a particular part of the tournament has ended.

2.2 The following bet types are available on the website: single bets, combination bets.

A single bet represents one selection. The winnings made on a single bet amount to your stake multiplied by the odds of selected outcome.
A combination bet (also known as parlay or accumulator), is a type of bet containing from 2 to up to 10 events. It is dependent on all of these outcomes coming true and is otherwise calculated as lost. When you make a combination, the bet slip will act as a bet calculator showing the workout of your possible winnings. The winning amount is equal to stake multiplied by the accumulated odds for the whole selection.
