Motorsport: races open for pre-match betting
In the pre-match line, the Motorsport section holds bets on car races, with one exception: Formula 1 sits in a section of its own. The basic unit here is a single race, and every group in the list usually stands for one specific event on the calendar.
How the groups are named
A group title runs from the series or organiser to the season and then to the race itself. Where a qualifying session is offered, it gets a separate group whose title ends with the word Qualification. The number in brackets counts the cards in the group, that is, its events; each card opens a market page of its own.
Lately every group has carried the NASCAR name, with races from the Cup Series, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and the Truck Series. What the list shows depends on the races scheduled, so a series can turn up and later drop out. The Winner card in the list scrolls through the drivers with the lowest prices only; the race page lists the whole field, long shots included.
Families of race bets
Whatever the race, its markets fall into a handful of families, each asking something different about the finishing order:
Family | Where it sits | What it asks |
|---|---|---|
Winner | Winner card, Who Will Win block | who takes first place in the final classification |
Places | In Top 3, In Top 5 and In Top 10 blocks | does the driver finish inside that leading group |
Match-ups | Match-Ups block, W1 or W2 | which of two drivers ends up ahead of the other |
Group winner | Group A, B, C or D Winner cards | which driver of a named group comes home in front of its other members |
Qualifying | a group of its own | the outcome of the timed session |
A match-up is the one family where the rest of the field plays no part. The pair is written as two names joined by a slash: W1 refers to the first driver, W2 to the second.
Which rules apply
Section 10.33 of the rules is given over to Formula One, motorbikes and speedway, with the FIA classification as its reference. Any sport or situation the rules do not describe specifically falls under the General Terms (section 9, point 21).
Those general terms cover, among other things, a shared win. With two declared winners, the stake is halved for the calculation; with three or more, odds of 1 apply. Match-Ups duels are outside this rule.
Before the start
These races are part of every sport on the 1xBet pre-match line, where bets are taken before the cars set off. A bet registered after the actual start is void, and the time printed on a card is only indicative.
Stakes are placed in Algerian dinars once you have gone through opening a 1xBet account.
