How to Bet on Football Matches (Tanzania Edition)

Football betting is one of the most exciting ways to enjoy matches — and for many in Tanzania, it’s also a popular hobby.
If you're new to betting or want to understand it better, this guide is for you.

1. Understand the Basics of Football Betting

When you place a football bet, you are simply predicting what will happen in a match.
You can bet on who will win, if there will be a draw, how many goals will be scored, and much more.

The most common types of football bets are:

• 1X2 Betting (Win-Draw-Win):

  • 1 = Home team wins

  • X = Draw

  • 2 = Away team wins

• Over/Under Goals:

  • Bet if the total number of goals will be over or under a certain number (e.g., Over 2.5 goals).

• Both Teams to Score (BTTS):

  • Bet if both teams will score at least one goal.

• Correct Score:

  • Predict the exact final score (riskier but pays more).

2. Choosing Where to Bet

If you're in Tanzania, you have great options:

• Local betting sites: BetPawa, Mkekabet, Premier Bet, SportPesa

• International sites: 1xBet, Betway (check if they accept TZS or mobile payments)

Important:
Make sure the betting site accepts M-Pesa, TigoPesa, or Airtel Money for easier deposits and withdrawals.

Always choose a site that is trusted and licensed.

3. How to Place Your First Bet (Simple Steps)

1. Register on a betting site.

2. Deposit money using mobile money or card.

3. Go to the Football section and choose a match.

4. Select the market (e.g., Home win, Over 2.5 goals, BTTS).

5. Enter your stake (how much you want to bet).

6. Confirm your bet and wait for the result!

4. Tips for Beginners

• Start Small: Bet small amounts while learning.

• Focus on What You Know: Bet on leagues or teams you follow closely.

• Compare Odds: Some bookmakers offer better payouts for the same match.

• Manage Your Money: Only bet what you can afford to lose.

• Don’t Chase Losses: Stick to your plan, win or lose.

5. Final Advice

Football betting is fun, but it’s important to stay smart. Treat it like entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.
