Betting on sport with Hollywoodbets: soccer, horses and the rest

Hollywoodbets sports betting covers soccer from the PSL to the big European leagues, plus horse racing, rugby, cricket, tennis and a long list of smaller sports, with live in-play markets and cash-out on soccer multiples. Everything runs from the same account and rand balance you use for Spina Zonke. It’s a bookmaker first: the casino side came much later.

Hollywoodbets sports betting on soccer

Soccer is where most Hollywoodbets bets go, and the soccer menu is the deepest. Besides the match result you get the usual markets: double chance, both teams to score, totals, handicaps, correct score, corners and half-time results. Hollywoodbets is also the official betting partner of LaLiga in South Africa, so Spanish games get plenty of attention.

Two features matter for multiples, which is how most South Africans bet soccer:

• Cash-out. You can settle a soccer multiple early for the amount on offer. Useful when one leg is shaky, but the offer is always below the full payout.
• Live in-play. Odds update during the match, which pairs well with cash-out. It also uses more data than pre-match betting, because the page keeps refreshing.

People searching “hollywoodbets soccer today” are usually after the day’s fixtures. On the mobile site they sit under the soccer tab, sorted by start time.

Horse racing: where Hollywoodbets started

The company began in 1986 as Winning Form, a publisher of racecards, and it still treats racing as a core product. It sponsors the Durban July and holds naming rights at the Greyville and Scottsville racecourses. Local meetings and international racing are both on the menu.

Rugby, cricket and the rest

Hollywoodbets sponsors the Sharks, the Hollywoodbets Dolphins cricket side and Kings Park stadium in Durban, so local rugby and cricket get full coverage. Beyond those you’ll find tennis, Formula 1, MMA and UFC, basketball, golf and esports.

Lucky Numbers

Lucky Numbers aren’t sport, but they sit next to it in the menu and many players use both. You bet fixed odds on the results of draws. Hollywoodbets says it offers more than 3,000 draws every week. The draws run all day, which makes them easy to overplay. Keep them inside the same weekly budget as everything else.

Betting on a phone without burning data

• Pre-match bets use far less data than live in-play. Place them on Wi-Fi when you can.
• Turn off auto-playing video and live visualisations if your phone offers the option.
• Try the data-free version linked from the mobile site. Our mobile app page explains how it works.
• Check your bet in “My Bets” instead of reloading the full match page.

A word on odds

We don’t publish “best odds” claims. Prices move by the minute, and any comparison is out of date by the time you read it. If price matters to you, compare the same market at two licensed bookmakers before kick-off.
