1. What is Soccer 13?

Soccer 13 is a popular soccer betting pool game in South Africa. It is run by TAB in partnership with Svenska Spel from Sweden.

Here is how it works:

• TAB selects 13 soccer matches from leagues around the world
• You predict the result of each match (win, draw, or lose)
• You win money if you get 10 or more results correct
• The more matches you predict correctly, the bigger your prize

Soccer 13 matches come from top leagues in Europe, South America, and South Africa. The PSL (Premier Soccer League) matches are often included.

2. How to Play Soccer 13

Step 1: Check the Fixtures

Visit www.soccer6.co.za to see the latest Soccer 13 matches. The website shows all 13 matches with team names and kick-off times.

Step 2: Make Your Predictions

For each of the 13 matches, choose one result:

• 1 = Team A wins (the first team listed)
• 2 = Draw (match ends equal)
• 3 = Team B wins (the second team listed)

Step 3: Place Your Bet

You can bet in three ways:

• Online: Log into your TAB account at www.tab.co.za
• TAB Store: Visit any TAB betting shop in South Africa
• Mobile App: Download the TAB app for Android or iOS

Step 4: Pay R2

Each bet costs R2. You can place multiple bets if you want to try different predictions.

Step 5: Wait for Results

After all 13 matches finish, TAB publishes the results. Check www.soccer6.co.za to see if you won.

3. Costs and How Much to Bet

When Do Pools Close?

All Soccer 13 pools close 2 hours (120 minutes) before the first match kicks off. This is because TAB must send all South African bets to Sweden.

Example: If the first match starts at 15:00, the pool closes at 13:00. You cannot place bets after the pool closes.

4. Prizes and Payouts

You do not need to get all 13 matches correct to win money. Even getting 10 correct gives you a prize!

✅ 6. Betting Tips and Strategies

Research the Teams

Before you bet, check:

• Which team is playing at home (home teams often win)
• Recent form (which teams are winning lately)
• League tables (teams at the top usually beat teams at the bottom)
• Head-to-head records (how teams performed against each other before)

Look at Betting Odds

Betting odds show which team is favoured to win. Teams with low odds are expected to win. This can guide your predictions.

Consider Draws

If everyone picks the favourite team to win, try picking some draws. If there is an upset, you will win more because fewer people predicted it correctly.

Start Small

Only bet money you can afford to lose. Start with R2 bets and learn how the game works. Do not bet your rent or food money.

Use Free Predictions

Many websites offer free Soccer 13 tips and predictions. Use these as a guide, but make your own final decisions. Do not pay for “guaranteed” tips (see scam section below).
