How Multiple Bets Work

Multiple bets allow the bettor to combine several bets into one, boosting their profit if they win. The total share of the multiple bet is the result of multiplying all the odds of each individual bet.

Example:

               Match 1: Benfica – Boavista | Individual bet: Benfica win at halftime | Odd: 1.50

               Match 2: Porto – Sporting | Individual bet: More than 2.5 goals | Odd: 2.00

               Match 3: Real Madrid – Barcelona | Individual bet: Both Score | Odd: 1.90

If we select the three hypotheses in this example, we will have to multiply the odd for Game 1, the odd for Game 2 and the odd for Game 3.

That is, the multiple bet, in this case, would have an odd of:

               1.50 * 2.00 * 1.90 = 5.7

It means, then, that if you bet € 10 on this multiple and if all events turn out to be winners, you’ll win € 57.

Bearing in mind that this is a high odd, it means that the probability of winning is lower. In other words, normally, the amount invested in multiple bets turns out to be residual, and many bettors try the “Jackpot luck” by placing several games on the same multiple bet, generating odds above 100.

Bear in mind that for a multiple bet to have a positive expected value, it means that all individual bets belonging to that group must also be of a positive expected value. This means that the choice of bet for each game must be individually studied and the odd should, in itself, offset the investment risk.

It should be noted that there are multiple bets that allow the bettor to miss a result, however, it will directly influence the odd that the bookmaker makes available to its client.
