How the 888starz betting line is laid out

The line is the part of 888starz you will spend the most time in, so it helps to know how it is arranged. Sports run down the left, championships stack in the middle as white cards on a dark page, and each card holds the matches for that competition with the three main outcomes on the right. Nothing is hidden behind a hover — on a phone the same card simply drops the odds onto their own row.

Fourteen sports are open. Football is the deepest: the Champions League and the big five European leagues sit alongside the CAF Champions League, the AFC elite rounds, the Egyptian Premier League, the Uzbek Superliga and Azerbaijan. Tennis runs ATP and WTA draws, basketball covers NBA nights and EuroLeague rounds, ice hockey takes the NHL and the KHL, and cricket follows the IPL.

Reading a market before you back it

• 1 X 2 — home win, draw, away win. In sports without a draw the middle column simply is not there;
• handicap — one side starts with a virtual head start, which evens out a mismatch;
• total — goals, points, games or overs above or below a number;
• accumulator — several selections on one slip, where every leg has to land.

When matches open

League fixtures usually appear several days ahead, cup nights a little earlier, and long-term markets stay open for a whole season. That gives you the choice between taking a price early and waiting for team news. Neither is automatically better, but knowing the window exists is what lets you decide instead of taking whatever is on the screen at the moment you happen to look.
