Sportstake 8 Results & Fixtures

There are three methods by which you can play.

1. Bet Slip: Obtain the official bet slip from an approved retailer, fill it out manually and submit it at the Terminal. You can ask the retailer to enter your selections directly into the Terminal. You will have to make the payment at the Terminal.

2. PROPICK: The Terminal will make the choices for you and automatically generate the bet slip. The process involves a mix of statistical head-to-head history of the two teams and random selections. The payment will be made at the Terminal.

3. Web Site: You can register at national lottery.co.za and follow the simple instructions given. The payment will be made online.

You have to make at least one prediction for each half of each fixture. One full bet slip will have at least 16 predictions in all.

SportStake Definitions

The home team will always be the first-named team in the fixture, and the away team will always be the second-named team in the fixture. It is important to remember this because sometimes fixtures will be held at neutral venues.

There are three possible outcomes in each prediction box.

• (1) is to be entered if you predict that the home team will win in that half of that fixture.

• (X) is to be entered if you predict that there will be a draw in that half of that fixture.

• (2) is to be entered if you predict that the away team will win in that half of that fixture.

You can make up to three predictions for any half of any fixture, which are (1), (X), and (2) or any two of those. You will have to indicate Multi-Play on the bet slip.

The score at the end of each 45-minute half, including the referee’s added time but excluding extra time or a penalty shootout, will determine the outcome of the half.

What if a Fixture is Abandoned or Cancelled?

If a fixture is abandoned, cancelled, rescheduled or postponed after the list is published but before the match starts, then all selections for that fixture will be settled as correct.
