Fancy laying Helen Zille?
Now you can. Betmatch Predictions is officially live, putting elections, sport, culture and the news as it breaks on the market.
Back it or lay it, from just R10.
Do you think Zille will be Joburg’s next mayor? Back her. Convinced she won’t? Lay her. Think the ANC holds on, the DA takes Tshwane, the Boks lose a Test, or a Cabinet minister is out by Christmas? Pick your outcome. Take your position.
South Africans have never needed an invitation to argue. Betmatch gives those opinions a market.
“South Africans are some of the most opinionated, decisive people on earth. We’re right even when we are wrong, and we’ll argue it to the end.”
Nick French, CEO of Betmatch
On the exchange, there is someone just as convinced you are wrong. That is what makes the market.
Back (yes) an outcome to happen. Lay (no) it to say it won’t. Your position is matched with someone taking the opposing view, at odds customers are willing to accept. Betmatch holds the stakes and settles the bets when the result is determined.
You bring the opinion. The market supplies the opposition.
Betmatch is operated by ZAR Prive (Pty) Ltd under a Bookmaker (Bet Exchange) licence issued by the North West Gambling Board, giving South Africans a locally licensed platform on which to trade their predictions.
“Prediction markets were always coming to South Africa. We’ve made sure they arrive licensed, regulated and South African, and we’ll work with the regulator to make sure the illegal operators don’t get a free ride.”
Nick French
Local government elections are coming. Every braai already has an expert. Every group chat has someone calling the result.
Now there’s somewhere to test your opinions.
