Betting Options of betPawa Malawi

Despite the extremely limited number of sports, betPawa offers the most essential ones – football and basketball, along with a healthy number of betting markets and fixtures. In this article, we will be taking a closer look at the various football and basketball wagering options that betPawa offers in Malawi. From the English Premier League, Champions League, and Zambia’s Super League to NBA, Euroleague and 1Liga, there is more than enough for football and basketball punters. And in regard to the markets you can bet one, here are the most popular ones.

• 1X2 Betting: As the most simple and common bet type, it lets you pick the outcome of a game – whether there will be a home or away win, or if there will be a draw.
• Over/Under Betting: This wager type involves predicting how many goals will be scored in a given fixture. Users can choose to bet on whether they think the number of goals will be over or under a given number.
• Double Chance Wagers: Here, users can enjoy better winning chances as betting comes down to only two potential outcomes. For instance, you can wager on home team to be a winner or the on a draw.
• Correct Score Betting: This is a more challenging type of betting where users must predict the exact scoreline of a match. While it may be difficult to get right, correct score betting can lead to big payouts.

Aside from football, betPawa also offers a good number of betting options for basketball fans. While basketball may not be as hot as soccer in Malawi, it still has a dedicated following. In case you are part of it, here is what you can wager on:

• Moneyline Betting: Similar to 1X2 which we took a look at, in basketball it represents wagering on which team you expect to win the match outright.
• Point Spread: It allows punters to bet on а win by a given number of points or whether or the other way around.
• Total Points: It lets you wager on the number of points you expect to be scored in a match. You also get the more approachable option of betting on whether the points will be over/under a certain number.
• Prop Betting: This wager comes down to very specific events like who will score the first basket, who will get the first foul, etc.

How to Wager on the Platform

Sports betting involves wagering on the outcome of a particular event. BetPawa Malawi provides access to thousands of matches each week, organized by sport, competition, and date for easy betting. You have the option to bet on various aspects of the game, as we outlined above, such as the result, goalscorers, scoreline, and more. When you click on a game, the top market you will see is 1X2, which is a simple bet on the match result. In this market, 1 signifies a home win, X means a draw, and 2 denotes an away win. Some sports refer to this market as Moneyline or 12, since a draw is not a possible outcome.

We should stress that in cup matches, the result displayed on the 1X2 market applies to the regular time only. If the game ends in a draw and one of the teams wins in extra time, the bet is settled as X, not 1. To better understand how odds and winning works, use the decimal system, which shows how your win amount for every unit staked. For instance, a Liverpool win priced at 3.00 would mean that a 10-unit bet would pay out a total of 30 units, including your original stake. Therefore, the profit would be 20 units (30-10).

If you are looking to take betPawa on the move, its mobile app of the bookie is exactly what you need. It boasts all key features designed to make your on-the-move betting smooth and enjoyable.
