Beat The Drop Example

Begin a new Beat The Drop game with £5,000 in your pot. You will be faced with questions such as:

❓Everton vs Fulham – will Everton win the match?

❓Rayo Vallecano vs Valencia – will both teams score?

❓12:30 Catterick – will Beachcomber win the race?

❓Dortmund vs Mainz – will there be 4 or more goals in the match?

Let’s take the Everton vs Fulham question, if you are not confident in Everton beating Fulham you would split your £5,000 pot between yes or no to reflect that.

For example you may put £300 on yes and £4,700 on no.

If Everton went on to lose the game you would take through £4,700 to the next stage and if they won the game you would take through £300 onto the next question.

Andy’s Beat The Drop Strategy & Tips

Pick the right questions: Beat The Drop offers you a selection of various questions on different sports. If you’re a racing punter then pick racing, if you’re a football boff then pick football. Even better, pick leagues and competitions you know more about, such as the Premier League or the EFL.

Do your research: keep your finger on the pulse with the sports you’re likely to pick questions for. Andy’s Bet Club provides in-depth research and insights around football and racing each week, so keep an eye on our expert predictions section to help you.

Avoid 50/50 splits: it’s easy to sit on the fence but if you use the 50/50 split technique all the way through the 15 questions you will not secure a return. It’s not to say you can’t hedge your bets evenly, just not every time.

Look at the odds: keep an eye on the odds for each question. It’s an excellent and accurate gauge on what could potentially happen and therefore a good yardstick for splitting your pot.
