Sports Betting at Starcasino: Bet Online on Sports in the Netherlands

What are sports bets?

Sports betting is about much more than betting on win or loss. For each match, you can choose from countless options, from the exact goal difference to the scorer of the first goal. You place your stake on your prediction, and when it is correct, you receive a payout that is based on the odds.

What are odds and how do they work?

Odds are the numbers you see next to each bet. They indicate how likely it is that a prediction will come true. All odds in sports betting are determined by the bookmaker, based on information such as previous results, the form of the team, and individual players. The smaller the chance, the higher the odds, and vice versa. With a stake of €5 at odds of 2.00, you receive €10 back and make €5 profit.

Single and accumulator bets

Within sports betting in the Netherlands, there are two very common ways to place bets. A single bet (also called an “enkele bet” in Dutch) is a simple bet on just one outcome, meaning the risk remains relatively low.

With an accumulator bet, you combine multiple predictions on one bet slip. You only win with this option if all your predictions are correct. Accumulator bets therefore carry a bit more risk, but if done 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. When you have made the correct prediction, your payout is calculated based on the odds you agreed to.

Betting on sports online in the Netherlands is easy with the following step-by-step plan:

1. Log in or register as a new player.

2. Go directly to the online sports betting section.Select your favorite sport and the event.

3. Choose the specific betting market.

4. Enter your stake on your bet slip.

5. View the potential payout and confirm.

After this, you will receive a bet slip showing an overview of your bet(s) and any potential payout. Even if you have never been involved in sports betting before, this is very easy.
