What Else Do We Offer

Your experience betting with Betway has always been important to us, which is why you get the best options, features, and services from what is now South Africa’s fastest-growing online betting platform.

These benefits look something like:

What are Fixed Odds?

Fixed Odds-on horse racing means that the odds offered on any horse or event cannot change. If you bet on a runner at specific odds, you can expect an accurate return on your bet.

What is Tote?

Tote odds on the other hand, are the odds for any runner, initially determined by Betway, but with added pressure from horse racing bettors like you.

With more money backing a specific horse, the tote odds can fluctuate dramatically, especially if big bets come late to the market.

Which is better between Tote or Fixed Odds?

Typically, the answer to this question comes down to what kind of horse racing punter you are. But essentially, both have positives and negatives.

Fixed Odds are great if you are able to identify early value in a horse or event when the markets open. Sometimes locking in odds and value early can result in a big advantage before race day.

How can I navigate horse racing events?

On the Betway horse racing page, events and races are arranged in the following way:

Common horse racing bets

  • A Win Bet is the most popular bet, requiring the punter to select the horse they think will finish first in the race.
