How to Place a Spread Bet on the Betway App

Last Updated:

If you’re looking to place a bet on the US version of the Betway app, one of the most common types of wagers is a spread bet. Spread bets are wagers that allow you to bet on the point differential between two teams. In other words, you can bet on a team to win by a certain number of points or lose by less than a certain number of points. Here’s an example of how a spread bet works in the NBA:

Let’s say the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Golden State Warriors, and the Lakers are favored to win by 6 points. The spread bet might look like this:

Los Angeles Lakers -6 Golden State Warriors +6

If you bet on the Lakers to cover the spread, they would have to win by at least 7 points in order for your bet to be a winner. If you bet on the Warriors to cover the spread, they would have to win the game or lose by 5 points or fewer.

To place a spread bet on the Betway app, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Betway app and log in to your account.
  2. Navigate to the sport and game you want to bet on.
  3. Select the “Spread” option from the list of available bets.
  4. Choose the team you want to bet on and the point spread you want to bet on.
  5. Enter the amount of your bet and confirm your wager.

That’s it! If your bet is a winner, your account will be credited with your winnings as soon as the game is over.
