A futures bet is a type of sports bet that allows you to wager on the outcome of an event that will occur in the future, such as the winner of a league, championship, or tournament. Let’s take an example from the NBA to illustrate this:

Example: NBA Futures Bet You’re a die-hard basketball fan and want to bet on the team you believe will win the NBA Championship for the upcoming season. You think the Los Angeles Lakers have a strong chance of winning, so you want to place a futures bet on the Lakers to win the NBA Championship.

Step 1: Launch the Betsafe App Open the Betsafe app on your mobile device and log in to your account.

Step 2: Navigate to the Sports Betting Section Once you’re logged in, navigate to the sports betting section of the app. You may find this under the “Sports” or “Sportsbook” tab, depending on the layout of the app.

Step 3: Choose the NBA Futures Bet Within the sports betting section, look for the futures or outrights category, which typically includes long-term bets like league winners, championship winners, or season awards. Select the NBA futures bet option.

Step 4: Find the Los Angeles Lakers Browse through the list of available teams and find the Los Angeles Lakers. They may be listed alphabetically or by odds. Click or tap on the Lakers’ name to select them for your futures bet.

Step 5: Enter Your Wager Enter the amount you want to wager on the Lakers to win the NBA Championship in the designated field on your bet slip. The app will automatically calculate the potential payout based on the odds and your wager amount.

Step 6: Confirm Your Futures Bet Review your futures bet details, including the wager amount and potential payout, on your bet slip. Make sure the selected team is accurate, and click or tap on the “Confirm” or “Place Bet” button to submit your futures bet.

Step 7: Wait for the Outcome Now, all you have to do is wait for the outcome of the NBA season to determine if your futures bet on the Lakers is a winner. If the Lakers win the NBA Championship, your bet will be a winner, and you’ll receive your payout based on the odds and your wager amount.

That’s it! Placing a futures bet on the Betsafe app is an exciting way to wager on the outcome of long-term events in sports. Remember that futures bets can tie up your funds for a longer period of time, as they are settled after the event occurs. Always gamble responsibly and within your budget.
