The Betmica sportsbook sits alongside the casino under the same account and wallet. It covers the sports UK bettors follow most, with pre-match and in-play markets, Bet Builder and Cash Out. This guide walks through the markets, bet types, how to read odds, the welcome free bets and a step-by-step first bet.
Sports and markets at Betmica
In our testing, the Betmica sportsbook is built around UK favourites:
- Football: Premier League, EFL (Championship, League One, League Two) and the Scottish Premiership, plus major European leagues and international fixtures. Markets include match result, both teams to score, total goals, correct score, goalscorers, corners and cards.
- Horse racing: UK and Irish meetings every day, with Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish racing. If you take a price and the starting price (SP) is bigger, you are paid at the bigger price.

- Darts: Premier League Darts and major PDC events, including 180s and checkout markets.
- Snooker: ranking events and the World Championship at the Crucible.

Tip
Best Odds Guaranteed usually applies to win and each-way singles taken at a fixed price. Check the race card for the BOG badge and the terms for any daily cap before relying on it.

Bet Builder, Cash Out and in-play
Bet Builder
Bet Builder lets you combine several outcomes from the same football match into one bet, such as a team to win, both teams to score and a player to be booked. Betmica prices the combination together, taking into account how the outcomes are linked. All parts must win for the bet to pay.
Cash Out
Cash Out lets you settle a bet early for a value Betmica offers based on the current state of play. You can take a profit before a late equaliser, or limit a loss. Some bets and markets don’t offer Cash Out, and the offer can be suspended briefly during key moments such as a penalty.
In-play betting
In-play markets update during the event, with live scores and match stats alongside. Prices move fast, and bets may take a few seconds to confirm. Betting on events you can’t watch carries more risk, so in our experience it pays to stick to sports you know.
Reading odds: fractional vs decimal
UK bookmakers traditionally show fractional odds, while most of Europe uses decimal. Many sportsbooks offer an odds-format toggle in the account or bet slip settings, so it is worth checking Betmica’s settings if you prefer decimals. Fractional odds show profit relative to stake; decimal odds show the total return per £1, including your stake.
| Fractional | Decimal | £10 stake returns | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 | 1.50 | £15.00 | 66.7% |
| 4/6 | 1.67 | £16.67 | 60.0% |
| Evens (1/1) | 2.00 | £20.00 | 50.0% |
| 6/4 | 2.50 | £25.00 | 40.0% |
| 2/1 | 3.00 | £30.00 | 33.3% |
| 5/1 | 6.00 | £60.00 | 16.7% |
| 10/1 | 11.00 | £110.00 | 9.1% |
To convert fractional to decimal, divide the first number by the second and add 1. So 5/2 becomes 2.5 + 1 = 3.50.
