Placing bets on SMS

You can bet on all events that have Game IDs, via SMS. Home Win = (1), Draw = (X), Away Win = (2). To bet on a single bet, SMS to 40418 the Game ID, your prediction of the game outcome in 90 minutes and the amount you wish to bet. That is, GameID#Prediction#Stake

For example, "61762#2#1000" is the bet for Barcelona to win Away for a stake of Sh1000. "61762" = Game ID, "2" = represents an Away outcome and, "1000" is the bet amount. You will receive a confirmation SMS reading "Bet Placed Ref - BET-66745 / KSh. 1000.00 on Barcelona @ 1.80 to win KSh. 1800. Bal KSh. 1000. www.betlion.ke"

A bet is deemed to have been placed once the Bet ID has been issued. The winnings are calculated by multiplying the odds by the stake. (for example, 1.80*1000 = 1800)
