With hundreds of events on the board at any time, the hard part of a sportsbook is often just finding the match you care about. This page explains how the Melbet sportsbook is laid out, how markets and odds work, and the difference between betting before a match and during it.
Every bet sits at the end of the same chain. Once you know the chain, any sport is easy to navigate.
The search field is quicker when you know the team. Type part of a club or player name and the matching events appear, whatever sport or league they're in.
The side menu lists the top sports first, in this order, followed by everything else from A to Z. On 23 October 2026 the live section alone had 863 events open. The list changes with the calendar, and only events that are open for betting appear.
The deepest coverage in the sportsbook. The top European leagues (England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A and France's Ligue 1) sit alongside the UEFA Champions League and Conference League, CAF club competitions and hundreds of smaller leagues, from China's second tier to Ghana's regional leagues.
Every match carries the core markets (1X2, double chance, totals and handicaps), and the big games add hundreds more.
ATP and WTA tour events run almost every week, with singles and doubles. Besides match winner you'll find total games, game handicaps and set betting. Tournament winner markets let you back a player to lift the trophy before or during the event.
If a player retires mid-match, the market's rules decide whether bets stand or are void, so check them before you bet on a player carrying an injury.
The NBA, Euroleague and VTB United League headline basketball, with women's leagues like Australia's WNBL in the live menu too. The main market is Team Wins, which includes overtime, so there's no draw. Points totals and handicaps are the other staples.
Lines move fast in basketball because scoring is constant. A 10-point lead can disappear in two minutes.
The KHL is the busiest ice hockey competition on Melbet, with several games a day in season. The 1X2 market is settled on regular time, so a game that goes to overtime is a draw for that bet. Totals are usually set around 4.5 to 5.5 goals.
Match winner, set handicaps and points totals. Volleyball is popular live because momentum swings set by set, and markets reprice after every set.
Short matches played around the clock, so there's almost always a table tennis game in the live section. The pace is high and odds change point by point.
International matches, including youth and women's cricket, plus domestic leagues. Alongside the result you'll find innings totals and individual team totals (marked IT1 and IT2 in the market headers).
Dota 2, Counter-Strike, League of Legends and Mobile Legends tournaments, plus a 24/7 programme of simulated football, basketball and fighting-game matches. Esports has its own guide.
Further down the menu, under Categories from A to Z:
Virtual and simulated sports, Marble-Live and the Play quick games are covered on the esports and virtual sports page.
Both live in the same sportsbook and use the same bet slip. The difference is timing, and that changes how the odds behave. Live betting has its own guide: Melbet live betting.
| Pre-match | Live | |
|---|---|---|
| When | Before the event starts | While the event is in progress |
| Odds | Change slowly as money and news come in | Reprice constantly after goals, cards and momentum swings |
| Markets | Full list, including long-term markets | Fewer at a time; some open and close as play develops |
| Suspensions | Rare | Common during dangerous moments, such as a penalty or a VAR check |
| Best for | Planned bets and accumulators | Reacting to what you see in the match |
Odds show two things at once: how likely the bookmaker thinks an outcome is, and what you get back if it happens. In decimal format you multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return, and that return includes your stake.
Example: a stake of 100 on a team at odds of 1.85 returns 185 if the team wins: your 100 back plus 85 profit. At odds of 3.40 the same stake returns 340.
Lower odds mean the outcome is considered more likely. They don't mean it's certain. For bet types, the bet slip and bet statuses, see how to bet on Melbet.
Choose Sports for pre-match events or Live for matches in progress.
Use the sport menu, or search for a team.
The event page lists every market available for that match.
Selecting the odds adds that outcome to your bet slip.
The slip shows the potential return before you confirm.
Accepted bets appear in your bet history until they settle.
The full walkthrough, including singles, accumulators and what to do when a bet isn't accepted, is in the betting guide.
Beyond the match list, the sportsbook has tools that save time or change how a bet works. These are the ones on the Melbet site today:
The TOP-EVENTS bar at the top of the site jumps straight to the biggest competitions of the moment, such as the Champions League, the Conference League or the League of Legends Worlds. In the side menu, star a match to add it to Favourite matches. Recommended shows matches picked for you, and Top competitions lists the leagues most people are betting on.
Multi-LIVE lets you follow several live events side by side on one screen. In the live section, the With live streams switch filters the list down to events you can watch inside the event page.
Every day Melbet picks a ready-made accumulator, plus a live version, and adds a bonus multiplier to its odds. You add it to your bet slip in one tap.
Real example from 23 October 2026: four selections at 1.93, 1.684, 1.904 and 1.227 have combined odds of 7.59. Melbet's bonus multiplier of 1.1 raised that to 8.352, so a 200 ETB stake would have returned 1,670 ETB instead of 1,519 ETB.
The bet slip generator builds a slip for you from the parameters you enter. Bet on the favourite suggests the favourites in the day's biggest matches. One-click bet places a bet at a preset stake with a single tap, which is handy in live betting but easy to overuse.
Save/load events turns a bet slip into a code. Share the code, or enter someone else's code, and the same selections load into your slip. You still choose the stake and confirm the bet yourself.
Sell an open bet back before it settles, for the value shown in your bet history. It's a way to lock in part of a win or cut a loss when a match turns.
Enhanced Specials are markets built across several matches at once, for example the total goals in a set of five KHL games. Toto is pool betting: you predict the results of a fixed list of matches, and payouts depend on how many you get right. The Toto rules page sets out the prize structure for each draw.
A pre-match section that collects national team fixtures in one place, so you can find international matches without browsing league by league.
The Statistics section has head-to-head records, form and league tables. Results lists the final scores of finished events, which is the quickest way to check how a bet should have settled.
Some open bets can be settled early. On Melbet this is called Bet slip sale. Your bet history shows the current sale value, which moves with the odds. Accepting it settles the bet for that amount and it can't be reversed. If the option disappears, the market is suspended or a sale isn't offered for that bet. Some promotions, such as the Accumulator Booster, can't be sold.
Open bets and settled bets are kept in your bet history, which you'll find in your Melbet account. Each entry shows the selections, odds at the time the bet was accepted, the stake and the result. If a settlement looks wrong, note the bet ID from the history before you contact support. It's the fastest way for the team to find it.
Football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, volleyball, table tennis, cricket and esports are the top sports. They're joined by American football, athletics, badminton, handball, horse racing, rugby and many more, plus virtual sports and Marble-Live.
A ready-made accumulator picked by Melbet each day, with a bonus multiplier (1.1 on the day we checked) added to its combined odds.
Yes, many open bets can be sold back before they settle using Bet slip sale. The value shown moves with the odds.
Pre-match bets are placed before the event starts. Live bets are placed while it's being played, and the odds update as the match develops.
In decimal odds, the return is the stake multiplied by the odds, and it includes your stake. A 100 stake at 2.10 returns 210.
In the bet history section of your account, which keeps both open and settled bets.
Yes. Football markets are available to Melbet account holders, from the match result to goals, handicaps and many more. See the football betting guide.
