How to play MatchPlay Omnisports
14 legs, and not all of them are soccer. You pick a result in each and the ticket pays on all 14.

Want to bet on one match on its own?
A pool ticket and a bookmaker bet are different products. If what you want is a bet on one of these matches on its own, at a price you can see before you stake, that is a licensed South African bookmaker rather than a pool.

Checked here
This is worked out from the operator's own published data. The check is a script in this site's repository, so anyone can run it again.
- How the card is scored
- The name is literal. Settled cards on file include cricket beside the football, and a cricket line reads nothing like a soccer one: 144-6 is 144 runs for 6 wickets, not a 144 to 6 win. That is the single thing to know before reading this pool like the others.
- What 1, 2 and 4 mean
- 4 is a home win, 2 is a draw and 1 is an away win. That is the National Lottery key, and it is the reverse of the one TAB uses on Soccer 6, 10 and 13. We checked every published symbol against the published score of the match in that position, across every settled pool on file.
- A leg that did not count
- Symbol 7 marks a leg the operator voided. The feed fills those with a placeholder 0-0, so we show no score for them rather than a goalless draw that never happened.
Here is the count behind that check, for MatchPlay Omnisports alone: 15 settled pools and 209 comparisons. Each one puts a published symbol against the published score of the match in that spot. 207 agreed and 2 did not. Another 1 matches were published as void.
Before you enter
A pool ticket is a game of chance. Most tickets in every pool win nothing. No amount of form study changes that a pool pays out of a shared pot, not at a price you agreed. Decide what you are willing to lose before the pool closes, and stop there.

Questions
How does MatchPlay Omnisports actually work?
14 legs, and not all of them are soccer. You pick a result in each and the ticket pays on all 14.
Do you have to get every MatchPlay Omnisports result right to win?
No. Across 15 settled pools on file, MatchPlay Omnisports paid at 11/14, 12/14, 13/14 and 14/14 correct. The amount at each level changes every pool. It depends on the size of the pot and on how many tickets got to that level.
Is a pool bet the same as a bet at a bookmaker?
No, and the difference matters. In a pool bet every stake goes into one pot, and the pot is shared between the winning tickets. So nobody knows what a ticket pays until the pool closes and the matches finish. A bookmaker prices each match on its own and shows you that price before you stake. A cheap pool ticket needs a lot of results to go your way. A single match bet at a known price is a different product with a different risk.
Where can you actually enter a MatchPlay Omnisports pool?
With National Lottery, which runs the pool. You can enter at its outlets, on its telephone service or on its own website. SoccerBetting SA is not the pool operator, takes no bets and holds no money. This page tells you how the game works and what this week's card is. You place the entry with the operator.
