Sports betting at Starcasino: bet on sports online in the Netherlands

What is sports betting?

Sports betting is about much more than betting on wins or losses. You can choose from numerous options per match, from the exact goal difference to the creator of the first goal. You place your bet on your prediction and when it is correct, you receive a payout based on the odds/odds.

What are odds and how do they work?

Quotations, or odds, are the numbers you see behind each bet. They indicate how likely a prediction is to come true. All odds in sports betting are determined by the bookmaker, based on information such as previous results, team form and individual players. The smaller the probability, the higher the odds and vice versa. So for a bet of €5 with a odds of 2.00, you get €10 back and make a profit of €5.

Single and combination bets

Within sports betting in the Netherlands there are two very common ways to bet. A single bet is a simple bet on only one single outcome, thus keeping the risk relatively low.

With a combination bet you combine several bets on one betting coupon. You only win with this variant if all your predictions are correct. So combination bets involve a little more risk, but if you do it right, your payout is also much higher. This is because the odds multiply.

How does betting on sports work?

You can place a bet both before the event starts and live during the match. Once you have made the correct prediction, your payout is calculated based on the odds you have agreed to.
