How to place a bet on the ladbrokes app
Once your account has been registered and you have funds available, you can now place bets. To place a bet, find an event to bet on.
For this example, we will look at building a small simple football accumulator on the outright win/draw/win market.
From the Ladbrokes homepage, we navigate to the football hub.
We want to bet on matches taking place today so we select the Today’s Football option.
A list of all the upcoming matches that day now shows, along with the odds for the win/draw/win market.
The coupon and market can be modified using the option tabs at the top of the market table. However, as we want the win/draw/win market, we can start assessing the odds and making selections.
Selections are made by tapping on the relevant odds box. As selections are made the odds box will turn green.
A blue bar will appear when multiple selections have been made and will instantly update the odds as more selections are added.
The number in the bet slip, located in the top right of the screen will also update to reflect the number of selections made.
Once all selections have been made, we can either tap on the blue bar at the bottom or bet slip on the top right to open up the online bet slip.
You will see single betting options will be displayed at the top of the page, with multiple options appearing underneath.
It is the multiple options we are interested in, specifically the accumulator. Therefore, we tap on the stake field next to the accumulator option.
A numeric keypad now pops up. We enter our stake, which then activates and enables the Place button.
We check we have entered the stake amount correctly and that we are happy with the potential returns and then tap on the Place Bet button to place the accumulator.

We have quick bet settings switched on. This is enabled by default but can be switched off from the betting settings. When enabled a quick bet slip will appear once a single selection has been made.
The Quick bet slip shows the odds and has a stake field to be filled. However, there are also preconfigured stake amounts and amongst them is a + FREE BET box (if one is available).
Tapping on the free bet box will open up a list of all available free bets.
Select the free bet to be used and then tap apply.
The PLACE BET button can now be pressed to place the free bet, or the user can first choose to top up the amount by also adding an amount in to the stake field before submitting.
