Pre-Match Offer 4/5

• Colossus Bets offers a unique Sportsbook offering
• The bookmaker offers a pool-based betting system, where you can pick the outcomes/scores, of sporting events, and win jackpots
• The bookie offers a pool-based betting system for six sports – Football, NBA, Ice Hockey, Darts, Greyhound Racing, and Horse Racing
• You can choose to go Solo, join a Syndicate, or become a Syndicate Captain by creating your own Syndicate

At the time of writing, Colossus Bets offers a pool-based betting system for six sports, including the likes of Football, NBA, Ice Hockey, Darts, Greyhound Racing, and Horse Racing. The bookmaker’s Sportsbook is unique to say the least. Instead of choosing to punt on a betting market backed by odds, you can join a pool-based betting market as a “Solo” punter, as a part of a “Syndicate”, or as a Colossus Captain, with your own Syndicate.

As a “Solo punter, you must first click on either the “Sports” option, or the “Racing” option, present on the website’s main navigation bar, as per the market/markets you want to delve into. You must then choose a pool-based betting market that you would like to participate in, and click on the “Play” option.

You will see options to play “Solo”, and to join one of the many available “Syndicates”.

Under the “Solo” option, you must make your predictions for the various available selections, for the pool-based betting market that you are participating in, and choose the number of lines you want to place a stake on, as well as the stake you want to place per line. A line in essence is a set of selections.

You can make multiple selections (Multiple Lines) for a pool-based betting market, but this will in turn increase the cost of your ticket. If your set of selection/selections leads to a win, you will receive a share of the pooled jackpot, as per the number of winners, and the jackpot amount. You may receive a reward, even if you get one selection wrong.

If you want to join a “Syndicate”, follow the same steps as mentioned above, and look through the various available Syndicate pools, under the “Syndicates” option, which is present towards the right of the “Solo” option. Joining a Syndicate does come with certain advantages.

You can benefit from the knowledge of fellow members of your Syndicate, share your ticket on social media and enjoy the action as a team, and most importantly, crowdfund your Syndicate. If you join a Syndicate, with a big ticket, you have a greater chance of winning a jackpot.

You can purchase up to 50% of a Syndicate. If your Syndicate is not crowdfunded by at least 90% percent before the first event of a betting pool selection starts, the Syndicate will be voided, and all punters will be returned their initial stake. As a Syndicate Captain, you can create your own Syndicate, and have control over cashing out (Cash out).

A Syndicate Captain has to purchase at least 10% of a Syndicate. As a Solo player, or a Syndicate Captain, you will only receive Cash Out offers at intervals, when there are no in-play games/races in a betting pool. Colossus Bets’ betting system is interesting, and while it is nothing like conventional betting, it sure has our attention! Unfortunately, the number of sports markets are limited, and we hope that they work on this in due course of time.

Esports

At the time of writing, Colossus Bets does not offer odds on Esports. The bookmaker operates differently, so there is no real scope for offering odds on Esports bets anyway.

Other Specials

Cash Out and Bet Builder

Cash Out is an excellent feature which allows you to retrieve partial winnings on a placed bet, if you feel that you may go on to lose out on a pool-based betting market. On Colossus Bets, Cash Out is only available to Solo players, and Colossus Captains. As a Syndicate Captain, you can create your own Syndicate, and have control over cashing out (Cash Out).

A Syndicate Captain has to purchase at least 10% of a Syndicate. As a Solo player, or a Syndicate Captain, you will only receive Cash Out offers at intervals, when there are no in-play games/races in a betting pool.
