Popular football markets:
- Match result (1X2) and double chance
- Total goals over or under

Basketball, Tennis, Cricket and Combat Sports
Basketball covers the NBA, EuroLeague and African leagues, with spreads, totals and player props. Tennis lists all Grand Slams, ATP and WTA events with set and game markets. Cricket, rugby, boxing and MMA appear around major events.
Esports and Virtual Sports
Esports markets include football simulators, Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and League of Legends. Virtual sports generate football and racing events every few minutes, with results decided by a certified random number generator. Minimum virtual bet is ZMW 1.
Bet Types: Singles, Accumulators, Systems and Live Bets
Each bet type suits a different style and level of risk. New players usually begin with singles, then move to combinations once they understand odds.
| Bet type | Description | Risk level |
|---|---|---|
| Single | One selection on one event | Low |
| Accumulator | Several selections, odds multiplied | High |
| System | Several combinations from a group of picks | Medium |
| Live bet | Placed while the match is in progress | Medium to high |
| Bet builder | Several markets from the same match | Medium to high |
| Chain | Sequence of bets using previous winnings | High |
Singles and Accumulators
A single bet wins if the one selection is correct. An accumulator multiplies odds across all selections, so the payout grows quickly, but a single wrong pick loses the whole slip.
Example with a ZMW 50 stake:
| Bet | Odds | Potential return |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 2.10 | ZMW 105 |
| Accumulator of 3 | 1.80 x 1.60 x 2.00 = 5.76 | ZMW 288 |
| Accumulator of 5 | Combined 12.00 | ZMW 600 |
Live Betting and Cash Out
Live betting lets players react to the match as it develops. Odds change after goals, red cards, injuries and momentum shifts. The Cash Out option offers a partial or full settlement before the final whistle, based on current odds.
Tips for live betting:
- Watch the match or follow the live tracker before betting.
- Keep stakes smaller than in pre-match bets.
- Avoid chasing a loss after a goal against your pick.
- Use partial cash out to secure a part of the profit.
How to Read Odds and Calculate Winnings in ZMW
WinPesa shows odds in decimal format. The return equals stake multiplied by odds, and profit equals return minus stake.
| Stake | Odds | Total return | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZMW 10 | 1.50 | ZMW 15 | ZMW 5 |
| ZMW 20 | 2.00 | ZMW 40 | ZMW 20 |
| ZMW 100 | 3.25 | ZMW 325 | ZMW 225 |
| ZMW 500 | 1.90 | ZMW 950 | ZMW 450 |
Lower odds mean a higher chance of winning with a smaller return. Higher odds mean a larger potential return with a lower probability.
