Multi Bets Tips and Best Bets

The following is a simple way to answer a common question - multi bet explained: In general terms, a multi bet is a combination of two or more individual bets (known as legs) into a single bet. The multi has to win every leg. When one of the legs loses, the entire bet is lost.

Suppose you put money on three teams to win. Should all three win, you will get a much larger payout than you would have had had you bet the leg separately - the odds multiply with each leg.

Multi bet rules are usually pretty much the same at betting sites, but the principle of this bet is always the same: the more reward, the more risk. You are able to combine markets such as head-to-head, line, total points, or goal scorers between sports and games.

Before you place your bet, it is always advisable to check the rules of the site in terms of max legs, maximum payout limits, and markets that you can bet on.

Most betting sites offer a number of different types of multi bets, which vary in the amount of risk involved, flexibility, and the amount of returns that can be made. This is a guide to make the right choice in case you want to find multi bets today:

Standard Multi

This is the most traditional option - two or more bets on which all the legs have to win to make the bet a success.

Best suited to: Bold punters who want to get big returns on well-researched bets.

Same Game Multi

Mix two or more events (e.g. goal scorer, total goals and result) in one match.

Ideal when: You are a fan of footy, NBA or EPL, and you really know your team, and you prefer more action in a single game.

Each Way Multi

This is normally applied in racing and it splits the bet between win and place in each leg.

Suits: Racing multis when you are on horses that cannot win but can place.

Multi (Combos Multi) in boxed form

This is also known as a round robin, and it permits result combinations where not every leg must win. Example: 3-leg multi x 4 is four bets of three-leg bets.

Most suited to: Diversifying risk, but still seeking good returns. Perfect when you have most legs but feel the need to have a backup.

Exotic Multi

Special combinations such as the Trixie (3 selections, 4 bets) or Yankee (4 selections, 11 bets) that combine singles and multis.

Most suitable: Seasoned punters who desire numerous opportunities to win through a couple of good selections.
