Have you ever been on Easybet and seen the word "Outrights" but had no idea what it meant? You're not alone. It sounds complicated, but it's actually one of the simplest ways to bet. Let's break it down so you can get in on the action.

Simply put, an outright bet is a bet on the winner of an entire competition or tournament. Instead of betting on a single match, you are picking who you think will win the whole thing. This could be the winner of the Premier League, the Rugby World Cup, or even the winner of a golf tournament.

How Do Outright Bets Work?

Placing an outright bet is super easy. You just pick the team or player you think will win the tournament and place your money on them. The trick is that you usually have to place these bets before the competition starts or in the very early stages.

Here’s why I find it interesting: the odds are often much better than betting on a single game. I remember placing a small bet on a team to win the league at the start of the season. They weren't the favorites, so I got great odds. Watching them climb the table all season was so much more exciting because I had that outright ticket waiting.

So, what can you bet on with outrights? Here are a few examples:

• League Winner: Who will finish at the top of the Premier Soccer League?
• Tournament Champion: Who will lift the trophy at the next Cricket World Cup?
• Top Goalscorer: Which player will score the most goals in a tournament?
• Relegation: Which teams will get sent down to a lower division?

The main thing to remember with outright betting is that it’s a long-term game. You need to be patient. I once placed a bet on a tennis player to win a big tournament, and I had to wait two whole weeks for the final match to see if I won. It’s not a quick win, but it can be very rewarding if your pick comes out on top.

It's a fun way to stay invested in a whole tournament from start to finish. Just remember to bet responsibly and only what you can afford.

If you're looking for a way to fund your next bet or just want some extra cash, you could try earning vouchers with Points Castle. It's a cool South African app where you can play games and do surveys to earn points. You can then swap these points for vouchers, which is a neat way to get a little extra spending money.
