Many millions have been paid out on fixed-odds betting products using system bets. Here at Lottoland South Africa, just about every lottery product offers you the opportunity to use this form of betting. Whether it’s the Irish Lotto, EuroMillions, EuroJackpot, the American lotteries PowerBall or MegaMillions, you can use a system bet for most of them.

YOUR GUIDE TO SYSTEM BETS

Placing a system bet with Lottoland South Africa is very easy. The following infographic shows you at a glance how it works. If you scroll further down the article, the individual steps are described in more detail for you.

SYSTEM BETTING IN BRIEF

With system bets, you increase your probability of winning by betting on more numbers within a typing field than is actually necessary. These additional numbers are automatically generated by the system to form all possible combinations.

So if you try the Irish Lotto – which requires 6 numbers – you can choose to make a System 7 bet with 7 numbers. The system will form all possible 6-digit combos from those seven numbers.

Before we go into detail, let’s take a look at just some of the lottery products on Lottoland South Africa which you can bet on using system bets.

EUROJACKPOT SYSTEM BETS

EuroJackpot may not be that familiar in South Africa, but it has a huge following in Europe. Hardly a surprise when you consider that this international lottery has had cash payouts as high as €90 million (roughly R1.8 billion). EuroJackpot is now also capped at a whopping top prize of €120 million (roughly R2.4 billion). This could lead to a new record-breaking win later on this year. With a system bet you can choose an additional regular number or bonus number (or both) to form more lines.

EUROMILLIONS SYSTEM BETS

Lottoland South Africa offers you the opportunity to hunt for Europe's biggest winnings. The EuroMillions cash prize can get up as high as €230 million (roughly R3.9 billion*). Using a system bet gives you more lines which means a greater chance to win cash prizes.

There is one thing that all system bets have in common: they pay out large cash prizes due to the fact that the same numbers appear in so many different combinations. For example, if you hit all 6 numbers on one combination, at least 4 or 5 of those same numbers will show up on all your other system bet combos.  

OUR SECRET TIPS

Unimaginably high cash prizes are waiting for you with America's flagship lotteries such as MegaMillions and US PowerBall. This is where it is useful to try your luck with system bets as a way to make your very own ‘American Dream’ come true. 

Poland, Ireland and Sweden's most popular fixed odds lottery products all offer comparatively good odds and high payouts. If you take advantage of system betting, you improve your chances relative to just trying one line on its own.

WHAT ARE SYSTEM BETS?

Lotto system bets allow you to choose more numbers per bet slip and therefore statistically increase your chances of winning. All the possible number combinations are automatically selected for you from your chosen digits. This has the added advantage of paying out more in cash prizes because of how many number combinations are entered at the same time. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET A CASH PRIZE WITH MY SYSTEM BET?

Let’s look at the EuroJackpot as an example. Normally, you choose 5 numbers out of 50 and then pick 2 out of 12 bonus numbers. With a system bet, you get to choose extra numbers. For example, you could choose an additional bonus number and increase your chances threefold.

Let's assume that you are exactly right with your 5 out of 50 numbers and that you have also hit 1 of your 3 Euro numbers. Since you have selected a total of 3 combinations using a system bet, you will be paid out three times the value.

Two of your bets earn the 2nd prize tier (5 + 1 correct) and the third bet wins in the 3rd tier (5 + 0). That's usually enough to wake up the next day as a millionaire! If math was not your favorite subject in school, you don’t have to worry. At Lottoland South Africa, your system bets are calculated automatically, and you will of course be informed of any winnings by email.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO SYSTEM BETS

1. Choose your fixed odds betting product

First and foremost, decide which lottery product you want to try. You can apply system bets to most of the products on offer at Lottoland South Africa (although there are exceptions like the Spanish Christmas Lottery).

2. Choose your numbers

Fill in your bet slip as usual or leave it to the Lottoland system to generate the numbers randomly.

3. Choose your system bet

Now you can choose more numbers, either in the regular bet slip or in the bonus numbers section. Select ‘System’ which appears on top of your betting slip.

4. Select additional numbers

With every additional number you select, your chances of winning the top cash prize increase considerably. 

5. Select any additional draws and options

Last but not least, you can enter bonus draws like the Irish Lotto Plus to maximise your chances of winning. Of course, even when you are using system bets, you will still have the option to use Lottoland South Africa’s special features such as the ‘Double Payout’.
