1.) To bet on the result of a weekly fixture

On the left hand side of the page, under the 'Match Betting' tab, details of the current week's fixtures with the applicable odds are presented for the relevant teams.

Click on the odds you wish to take on either the home or away team to win, or on a draw. The betting opportunities available will be displayed in the bottom left hand corner of the screen under 'Betting Slip'. Select your bet type and either click on a unit stake or enter a unit stake in the box provided. The total stake for the bet will be shown in the adjacent box, with the maximum potential return displayed underneath. To confirm your selection(s) click on the 'PLACE BET' button. The bet will then be displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen under 'Current Bets'. It is possible to click on each individual bet for more information.

2.) To bet on a team to win the league

On the left hand side of the page, under the 'Outright Betting' tab, all the teams in the selected league are listed with the odds for them to win that particular season.

Click on the odds shown against your selection - the selection will then be highlighted and displayed within the 'Betting Slip'. To place a bet on this selection, either select a stake or enter one in the box provided, before clicking on the 'PLACE BET' button. The bet will then be displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen under 'Current Bets'. It is possible to click on each individual bet for more information.

A random number generator is used to produce the game results, taking into account the system's rating for each individual team. By holding the mouse over the team you wish to select, you will be able to view the probability of the number of goals they are likely to score. The match prices for each individual team are based on these probabilities.

The 'Match Betting' screen details the current week's fixtures with the applicable odds for each team. Clicking on the "i" button next to each fixture displays the last 6 results for both teams as well as the score from the last 10 times the 2 teams have met. Hovering over a team displays the probability table; this illustrates the chance each team has of scoring a particular number of goals in the fixture.

The 'Outright Betting' screen displays a price for all teams to win a particular season. The prices reflect any given team's chance of winning that league. Only single bets can be placed on outright betting.

Results for each round of games are displayed on the right hand side of the screen every 90 seconds. When previous results are not being shown the panel defaults to the current league table. There are 2 further tabs above this panel: 'Results' shows the results of the previous weekend's fixtures, while 'Form' shows league form for the last 6 games.

It is possible to place bets on any game taking place in the future. To select a game from another season, simply use the season dropdown at the top of the page; to select a future week, click on the chosen week in the panel above the fixtures. You can also choose which league to bet on by using the appropriate dropdown.

To view results from previous seasons, use the dropdown to select an earlier season. On selection a pop-up will appear displaying the final league table and each week's individual results. It is possible to change the season within the pop-up to view another season's results.

In the centre of the screen is the countdown for the current week's fixtures. Bets will only be accepted up to 10 seconds before the weekly game is played. At the end of every season there is a 3 minute period before the next season begins. During this time all bets on the outright will be settled and it is possible to place bets on the upcoming season.

The maximum that can be won on any one set of fixtures (week) is £10,000 (excluding stake). If your current win in any consecutive 24 hour period exceeds £100,000 then you will not be able to continue betting. 

If you try and place a bet(s) that would pay out more than these limits the system will automatically reduce your stake.

The minimum stake is set at 10p for singles and a 10p unit stake for multiples.

Winnings will be credited to your Virtual Sports/Games Account after every set of fixtures in which you have a winning bet.
