It must be noted that the received Free Bet must be used in its entirety, in the form of a Single Bet, or an Accumulator Bet with 2 or more selections.

VIP Program

At the time of writing, NetBet is offering a wonderful VIP Program. To access the betting site’s VIP section, scroll down to the bottom of your screen, and click on the “VIP Club” option, present at the bottom-right hand side of your screen. As soon as you click on this option, you will be redirected to NetBet’s “VIP Club” section.

netbet pre-match betting - NetBet Review

At the time of writing, NetBet is offering odds on over 25 sports. The betting site is offering quality odds on a number of popular sports markets, including the likes of Football, Tennis, and Basketball. The betting site is offering a number of unique sports markets as well, to suffice the tastes of all kinds of punters. These includes the likes of Futsal, Snooker & Pool, and Floorball.

As is advertised on their website, the minimum stake that you can place on a pre-match Sports bet is 0.07 GBP (Currency Equivalent – NGN), and 0.13 (Currency Equivalent – NGN) for live bets. There is no set maximum stake limit – The maximum stake that you can place on a Sports market depends on the number of selections that you have made, the odds that you are backing, and the Sport that you have chosen to punt on.

Before placing a bet on NetBet, you must gauge the odds on offer at different betting sites as well. You should look to place a bet on a betting site, which is offering the best odds for a bet that you want to place. Another factor that you must look into, is the bookmaker’s margin that a betting site is commanding over you, for a betting variant.
Higher is the margin of profit that a betting site is charging over you, lesser are your chances of winning a placed bet. You should look to punt on betting variants with a margin nearer to the ideal market mark of 100%, rather than those which surpass the 110% mark.

A diligent punter will always calculate the bookmaker’s margin for a betting variant, by calculating the Odds Overround, for a particular bet. To determine the Odds Overround for a betting variant, divide all of the decimal outcomes of a betting variant by 100, and add the resulting numbers together.

With the help of the resultant number, you can calculate the Odds Overround for a bet. We determined the Odds Overround for a match to be contested in the MLS, to gauge the quality of the odds on offer, at NetBet. The Odds Overround were found to be 107.85, which indicates that NetBet offers a good quality of odds, and charges a low margin (The MLS is not among the most popular markets around).

Esports

Esports are quite popular these days, and it is fascinating to see that NetBet is offering a number of Esports to punt on, based on local, and international Esports tournaments – A plethora of which take place in due course of a calendar year.

At the time of writing, NetBet is offering odds on League of Legends, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

As is advertised on their website, the minimum stake that you can place on an Esports bet is 0.07 GBP (Currency Equivalent – NGN). There is no set maximum stake limit – The maximum stake that you can place on an Esports market depends on the number of selections that you have made, the odds that you are backing, and the Esport that you have chosen to punt on.

Other Specials

At the time of writing, NetBet is offering odds on Politics. The only market on offer at the time of writing, is the Winner of the London Mayoral Election 2020.
We hope that the betting site offers odds on more Special markets, in due course of time.

As is advertised on their website, the minimum stake that you can place on a Special bet is 0.07 GBP (Currency Equivalent – NGN). There is no set maximum stake limit – The maximum stake that you can place on a Special market depends on the number of selections that you have made, the odds that you are backing, and the Special that you have chosen to punt on.

Cash Out and Bet Builder

At the time of writing, NetBet is offering both Cash Out, and Bet Builder. Bet Builder is being offered in the form of “Bet Maker”. Bet maker is an excellent feature, which allows you to build a customized bet, by selecting up to 6 different selections and outcomes, and putting them into one bet. As soon as you build a bet, NetBet will return the odds for the same. Bet Maker in turn, ensures that there are an infinite number of ways to punt on NetBet.

Cash Out on the other hand, is a staple when it comes to placing an online bet. Cash Out allows you to retrieve your money on a placed stake, if you feel that you may lose a placed bet, in due course of a match. The amount of money that you retrieve depends on the odds in favour of your placed bet at the time of Cashing Out, and the exact instance of initiating a Cash Out.

You could possibly win more, or less than your placed stake.
