How Do Odds Work?
Odds show how much you get back for every UGX 1 you bet, including your stake. For example:
If you bet UGX 1,000 on Arsenal at 2.00 and they win, you get UGX 2,000 back. That's your UGX 1,000 stake plus UGX 1,000 in winnings. Higher odds mean a bigger win, but a less likely result.
What Happens if the Odds Change?
Odds can change quickly, especially during live matches, for example after a goal or a red card.
If the odds change while you're placing a bet, we show you the new odds and ask you to confirm. Your bet isn't placed until you do.
To skip this step, tick Accept odds change on your betslip, just above your stake. We'll place your bet at the latest odds, whether they've gone up or down.
Once your bet is placed, your odds are locked and won't change.
Popular Markets Explained

A bet on the full-time result: 1 is a home win, X is a draw and 2 is an away win.
