🎾 Tennis betting
Year-round action from ATP, WTA, Grand Slams. Markets include match winner, set betting, total games, handicap sets. Tennis is popular for live betting since momentum shifts quickly — a player breaks serve and odds flip dramatically. Wimbledon and US Open get heavy volume.
🏏 Cricket betting

Available betting markets
Market variety depends on league popularity. Premier League offers more options than lower-tier leagues.
Pre-match markets
Standard markets appear 3-7 days before kickoff. For top leagues you'll find match result, double chance, both teams to score, over/under 2.5 goals, Asian handicaps, correct score, half-time result. Player props include first/last/anytime goalscorer, player to be booked. Team props cover corners and cards.
Live betting options
In-play markets update every 20-40 seconds during matches. Bet on next goal, next corner, final result at current score. Example: Manchester United leads 1-0 at halftime, live odds might be United 1.50, Draw 4.00, Opposition 8.00. If opposition equalizes, odds shift dramatically.
The platform doesn't stream matches — you need TV or streaming separately. Cash out becomes available on most live bets, letting you secure profit or minimize loss before match ends.
Accumulator betting
Accumulators combine multiple selections into one bet. All must win for payout. Odds multiply — three selections at 2.00 odds each creates 8.00 combined (2.0 × 2.0 × 2.0).
Minimum accumulator is 2 selections, maximum 40. Most Kenyan players build 3-10 leg accumulators on weekend football. Common strategy: pick 5 Premier League home favorites at 1.40-1.60 odds. Combined odds reach 5.0-8.0, turning 100 KES into 500-800 KES if all win.
Accumulator risks
More legs mean lower winning probability. Five selections at 70% win chance each gives you only 17% chance all five win. Ten selections at 70% drops to 3%. One lost selection voids entire bet — nine correct picks and one loss returns nothing.
Inukabet Kenya offers insurance on 5+ leg football accumulators. If exactly one selection loses and rest win, you get 50% refund up to 2,000 KES as free bet (valid 3 days). This softens near-misses.
Understanding odds
Inukabet Kenya displays decimal odds. The number shows total return per 1 KES wagered, including stake.
Odds 2.00 means bet 100 KES, win 200 KES total (100 stake + 100 profit). Odds 1.50 returns 150 KES. Odds 3.50 returns 350 KES. Lower odds mean higher probability, higher odds mean less likely outcome.
Odds and probability
Convert odds to implied probability: 1 ÷ odds × 100. Odds of 2.00 = 50% implied probability. Odds of 1.50 = 66.7%. Odds of 5.00 = 20%.
Bookmakers build margin into odds. Arsenal vs Brighton might be Arsenal 1.60, Draw 4.00, Brighton 6.00. Add probabilities: 62.5% + 25% + 16.7% = 104.2%. That extra 4.2% is the bookmaker's edge. True probability adds to 100%, but odds are adjusted so bookies profit regardless of outcome.
Value betting
Value exists when you believe true probability exceeds implied probability. Liverpool offered at 2.20 (45.5% implied) but you assess their real chance at 55%? That's value. Long-term, betting value spots generates profit. The challenge is accurately judging true probability versus bookmaker odds.
Live betting features
Live betting lets you wager during matches as odds shift with game flow. The platform updates markets every 20-40 seconds based on score and momentum.
Example: Chelsea vs Arsenal starts 0-0, pre-match odds were Chelsea 2.10, Draw 3.40, Arsenal 3.80. At 30 minutes still 0-0, odds might be Chelsea 2.30, Draw 3.20, Arsenal 4.20. Arsenal scores at 35' — odds flip to Chelsea 4.50, Draw 4.00, Arsenal 1.70.
You can exploit momentum. Team dominates but hasn't scored? Bet before odds drop. Underdog scores against the run of play? Favorite's odds improve despite being behind.
Cash out functionality
Cash out closes your bet early for guaranteed amount. You bet 1,000 KES on Manchester United at 2.50 odds (potential 2,500 KES). United leads 2-0 at 70 minutes, cash out offers 1,800 KES right now — accept and secure 800 KES profit, or let it ride for full 1,500 but risk a comeback.
Cash out amounts fluctuate with live odds. That 1,800 might drop to 1,200 if opposition scores. The feature protects profits when you're nervous, or cuts losses when your bet looks doomed.
Sports betting tips
Research team form
Check last 5-10 results, home/away splits, head-to-head history. Liverpool might be strong overall but struggle at certain stadiums. Form matters more than reputation for betting value.
Avoid emotional betting
Supporting Gor Mahia doesn't mean betting on them every match. They're your team but may be underdogs for good reason. Separate fandom from betting analysis. Back emotions with small fun bets but keep serious money on rational picks.
Manage your bankroll
Don't bet more than 2-5% of total bankroll per match. Have 10,000 KES? Bet 200-500 KES maximum per game. This survives losing streaks. Betting 50% per match means two losses wipe you out.
Track your bets
Record every bet — stake, odds, outcome, profit/loss. After 50-100 bets you'll spot patterns. Maybe you profit on under 2.5 goals but lose on both-teams-to-score. Data reveals truth beyond gut feeling.
Mobile sports betting
The Inukabet Kenya app and mobile site deliver full sportsbook functionality. Browse leagues, build bet slips, place accumulators, track live scores, cash out — all from your phone.
Mobile betting suits Kenyan lifestyle. Bet during lunch in Nairobi CBD, on matatu rides to Mombasa, while watching matches at bars in Kisumu. The app works on 3G/4G with minimal data (3-5 MB per hour).
Live betting on mobile gets tricky during high-action moments. Jumping between match stream and betting app risks missing betting windows. Best setup is TV for match viewing, phone for quick in-play bets.
