Sportstake 8 Tips and Predictions

Sportstake 8 is a sports prediction game from Ithuba and the National Lottery. You play the game by predicting the first half and second half outcomes (1,X,2) of 8 predetermined match fixtures drawn from various leagues. What makes the game so challenging and interesting is that it is very difficult to predict the outcome of both halves.

Although that’s not a bad thing, as the difficulty means the prize pools are usually very large and not won by many players. We’re going to be posting our Sportstake 8 tips and predictions for each upcoming fixtures list below, as well as a general explanation on how to play the game.

If you are new to betting and would like to learn how to get started, we recommend you read through our Ultimate Betting Guide, which will explain everything you need to start betting online. We’ve also done a comparison of the difference between betting with a bookmaker and playing sportstake, and the results might surprise you.

Sportstake 8 Predictions and Tips

To enter or bet on your Sportstake 8 predictions you need to do the following in order to place a successful bet ;

  • Predict both the 1st half and 2nd half outcomes for each match
  • You are picking who will win the half, not the match
  • Example, you bet on Arsenal to win the first half and the halftime score is Arsenal 1-0, your selection will be a winner. However if Arsenal are not leading at half time your bet will be a loss.
  • You will also need to predict the 2nd half outcome for a match.
  • It cost R2 to play a single card, this cost doubles each time you add an additional outcome
