What is a Multiple bet?
You may know other betting terms for a Multiple bet such as accumulator, multibets, parlays or combi bets, but they are defined exactly the same and simply allow customers to combine single bets into one merged bet to rapidly increase the odds. You can place up to 8 selections in one accumulator on Cloudbet, combining a multitude of sports that may also take place on different days.
What are the advantages of placing Multiple bets?
Multiple bets are a great way to turn your low stakes into big wins as the more selections you add to your bet slip, the higher the return on your investment is. By selecting between 2 and 8 bets, you will incrementally increase your overall odds on the accumulator; the more selections you pick or the higher odds that you choose, the bigger the return. It’s that simple!
How do Multiple bets work?
Accumulator odds are calculated by multiplying the odds together. For example, if you bet on 8 selections at evens (2.0) then the total return would be 256 x your stake, which beneath the repetitive multiplication is 256/1. A 0.01 BTC bet in this instance would return a handy 2.56 BTC.
Of course the more selections you choose or the higher odds you pick, the chances of you winning are slimmer, but with minimum stakes as low as 10 Satoshis, why not try and hit the jackpot every now and then?
We will use the Champions League fixtures between 5th-13th March 2019 as an example.
The results of the eight matches are listed below, with a couple of upset away wins for Manchester United against PSG & Ajax against Real Madrid standing out.
- Barcelona 5:1 Lyon
- Bayern Munich 1:3 Liverpool
- Juventus 3:0 Atl Madrid
- Man City 7:0 Schalke
- Porto 3:1 AS Roma
- PSG 1:3 Man United
- Dortmund 0:1 Tottenham
- Real Madrid 1:4 Ajax
If you were to place a Multiple bet that predicted all eight results, then your return would have been 1965/1 which is a huge 1965x return on your stake!
So from just 0.1 mbtc (0.0001 BTC) on those selections you would have received a staggering 195 mbtc (0.195 BTC)!
