MJP#X#2#1#X#2#2#1#0#X#0#1#X#X#1#1#2#0
In this bet, game number 8, 10, and 17 were skipped so that is why 0 is used. The category will be 14/14 MJP

Step 3
Double or Triple Combination bet on Mega Jackpot Pro (MJP) simply makes it easier to make multiple bets at once instead of repeating the same sequence many times if you want to place more than one MJP bet.
This allows you to place a bet with two or three predictions on a single game up to 10 games if it’s a double combination and up to 5 games if its triple combinations in one bet! When you combine both double and triple combinations, you can do so up to 10 games combined.
Combination limits:
• Doubles combination has a maximum of 10 games selection
• Max 5 Triples combination has a maximum of 5 games selection
• Doubles and triples combination has a maximum of 10 games selection
To bet via SMS on a bet that has a combination you will make your selection of games and identify your category and then SMS your bet to 79079.
if you wish to make a double combination on 3 MJP games, you will have placed 8 MJP bets in total. i.e. 2^3 (2*2*2=8 JP bets)
If your bet category is 16/16 and the double combination is on games 1, 3, and 16, then the bet will be as below:
MJP#1X#2#1X#X#2#2#1#X#0#2#1#X#X#1#1#12#2
In this bet, game 9 was skipped and hence the use of 0.
Example 2:
17/17 Jackpot SMS bet with one triple combination in the first game:
MJP#1X2#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#2#2#1#X#X#1#1#2#2
Once your bet is confirmed you will receive a confirmation message from 79079 showing your Mega Jackpot Bet ID, the predictions you have made, the bet amount and your SportPesa account balance.
