What is Beat The Drop?

Beat The Drop is a predictions game in which players are asked questions about sports and must answer "Yes" or "No."

Players start with a total prize pot and, for each question, must split their split their pot across "Yes" or "No"
selections.

Here's an example of how to answer the questions:

You are asked: "Will Manchester United beat Everton?" and must split your pot between "Yes" and "No" depending on how confident you are in your answer.

If you think United have a good chance of winning, you might put 70% on "Yes" and 30% on "No".

If United win, you will take forward 70% of your pot to the next question. If United do not win, you will take forward 30% of your pot.

Your winnings are the amount of money left in the prize pot when you have answered 12 questions.

You can start playing Beat The Drop on Betfair at any time. Once you answer a question you have 14 days to answer a second question or the game will reset.

New questions are released each day and players can choose which they want to answer.

Tips for playing Beat The Drop on Betfair

There is an element of luck involved in Beat The Drop, as in there is in any game, but these tips aim to help you improve your chances of winning more money by playing on Betfair.

Stick to what you know - Answer questions on your favourite sports and expand your knowledge by reading Betting.Betfair's writers on football, horse racing, golf and much more.

Avoid 50/50 Splits - It's tempting to go 50/50 on every question but if you keep halving your pot your winnings will be a matter of pence and not pounds.

Check Out The Odds - Can't decide how to answer a question? Then see what the Betfair odds say. If, for example, a horse is a short price to win a race then it may be worth pushing 80% or more of your pot onto it for a win.

Calculate Percentages - Split your picks into: Unknown (50/50), Possible (60/40), Probable (70/30), and Certain (80/20 or greater). If you're confident both teams will score in a football match, do a Certain Split at 80/20 and plan to carry 80% of your pot through to the next question.

Don't Be Afraid To Hedge - Don't be afraid to hedge your bets and throw a little more on the pile you don't think will win. In sacrificing profit potential you're reducing the blow if your main choice loses.
