Understanding Betting Odds

Decimal Odds

PowerBets displays odds in decimal format standard across South Africa. Odds of 2.50 mean you receive R2.50 for every R1 staked including your original stake. A R100 bet at 2.50 returns R250 total—R150 profit plus R100 stake back.

Lower numbers indicate favorites; higher numbers represent underdogs. Sundowns at 1.40 vs Chiefs at 7.00 shows Sundowns heavily favored. Multiply your stake by the decimal to calculate potential return instantly.

Asian Handicaps

Popular in football for eliminating draws. A -1.5 handicap means your team must win by 2+ goals for the bet to land. Backing Sundowns -1.5 at 1.90 requires them to win 2-0, 3-1, 4-0 etc. A 1-0 Sundowns win loses your bet despite them winning the match.

Quarter handicaps like -0.75 split your stake across two lines. Half goes on -0.5, half on -1.0. This creates potential for half-win or half-loss outcomes depending on exact winning margin.

Over Under Totals

Bet on combined goals, points, or runs exceeding or falling short of the bookmaker's line. Over 2.5 goals in a PSL match means you need 3+ total goals between both teams. Under 2.5 wins if the match ends 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, or 2-0—any scoreline with 2 or fewer goals.

Lines adjust based on team form and historical data. High-scoring teams see lines at 3.5 or 4.5 goals. Defensive matchups might offer 1.5 or 2.0 totals. Shop different bookmakers as lines vary—PowerBets might have 2.5 while competitors offer 3.0.
