Sportstake Multi-Play
It is a combination of a quick pick and a system entry. In this game, you can bet on multiple outcomes for the same match and increase your odds of winning. Every possible combination of results that you speculate; on will generate a separate board, and you pay the R2 cost for each one.
For instance, you could bet on the first fixture on the list – a home win or an away win. This is a ‘double’, as you bet on two of the three possible outcomes. You could then bet on the other 12 fixtures ending in a home win. In that way, two boards would be generated. The first would be the bet on 13 home wins. And the second would be the bet on one away win and 12 home wins. You would, therefore, pay the cost for two boards – R4.
In addition, you can also bet on all three outcomes for the same fixture: a home win or draw or away win. For example, this is a ‘triple’; you could bet on a triple on the first fixture on the list and then home wins for the other 12 fixtures.
In that event, three-game boards would be developed. The first would be for the bet on 13 home wins, the second would cover one draw and 12 home wins, and the last would be for one away win and 12 home wins. The cumulative cost of the bet would be R6 (three boards at the cost of R2 each.)
You can place Multi-Play bets on whichever fixtures you wish, but the maximum amount you can wager on each bet slip is R2,000. There are 1,594,323 possible combinations of home win, away win, or draw across the 13 fixtures, so it is impossible to cover all of them.

Why Play Sportstake 13
Playing Sportstake 13 is a favourite entertainment for South Africans who are into football and want to make use of it. A prize you may win depends on your skills to predict the outcomes but also on the prize pool shared by all the participants in a particular draw.
4 Awards are given
Fifty per cent of the total sales comprise the Sportstake prize pool. The awards have 4 categories: division 1 gets 30%, division 2 will get 15% division 3 gets 20% of the prize pool and Division 4 gets 35%. Not only prizes are based on the ticket sale, but they also depend on the overall number of lucky winners. Division 1 is for those players who predict are correct for all 13 fixtures, and division 2 is for players who predict correctly the outcomes of 12 matches. The prizes from division 3 go to the players who match 11, and division 4 goes to players who match 14 fixtures.
Jackpot rolls on
If no one wins the top prize, the jackpot keeps going over to the Jackpot division in the next Sportstake 13 draw and the jackpots from division 1 will roll for a maximum of nine scheduled fixture lists. In case, in the tenth fixture list, the jackpot amount is not won, the sum will be split equally between the divisions with winners. If that divisions 2 3 and 4 do not have winners, both prize pools will go to the jackpot prize pool.
