What is a Bet Builder?
A bet builder is simply a collection of odds and selections from a single soccer match, combined into one larger bet. This typically involves a bet with three or more selections, which are referred to as legs.
The most commonly used legs include:
Match Result
Goals Over/Under
Both Teams to Score
Player Shots/Shots on Target
Team Shots/Shots on Target
Corners Over/Under
Player Cards
Cards Over/Under
Handicaps
While these are the most common options, sometimes there might be additional selections, such as:
Player Passes/Tackles/Fouls/Offsides
Team Passes/Tackles/Fouls/Offsides
Free Kicks
Goal Kicks
Throw-Ins
The great thing about bet builders is that they can provide much better odds compared to placing single bets. This is because the odds of each leg are multiplied together to determine the overall odds of the bet builder.
However, this also means there is a higher risk, as all legs must be successful for your bet to win, rather than just one outcome.
Despite the increased risk, bet builders are a popular betting option because they allow users to engage with different aspects of a single match, rather than just focusing on a goalscorer or the final result.
How to Calculate Your Bet Builder Odds
Calculating the odds for your bet builder is straightforward.
First, convert the fractional odds into decimal numbers and add 1. Then, multiply all the odds together in sequence. After that, subtract 1 from the total and convert it back into a fraction.
For example:
Luka Modrić over 56.5 Passes @ 2/1
Real Madrid to Win @ 1/1
Karim Benzema Shot on Target @ 1/5
Over 10.5 Match Corners @ 4/1
This translates to:
2/1 becomes 2 + 1 = 3
1/1 becomes 1 + 1 = 2
1/5 becomes 0.2 + 1 = 1.2
4/1 becomes 4 + 1 = 5
Then, you calculate: 3 x 2 x 1.2 x 5 = 36.
Next, subtract 1: 36 - 1 = 35.
So the final odds of your bet builder would be 35/1.
Don’t worry if this seems complicated; we will automatically calculate the odds for your bet builder, and you’ll see the result in your bet slip.
