What Is Combo Bet
Wagering on single events is the professional and profitable approach to sportsbetting. However, sometimes you may want to bet more events on the same betting slips, thus making a combo bet, also called accumulator.
Combination bets can include both singles and various types of multiple bets, including doubles, trebles and accumulators, which consist of four or more bets. In addition, many bookmakers offer combination bets that cover all the possible double, treble and accumulator combinations for a given set of selections. These are known as full cover bets. All bets which allow you to select more than one event, are called combination or accumulator bets. A system bet constitutes a special variation of the accumulator bet. As a general rule, three selections or more have to be made on the betting slip. Combo bet (express) is a bet that includes several positions at once. A winning at this bet will be possible only if all the player’s forecasts are correct. There are three types of bets. These are ordinars. So what is a combination bet? Well this is a getting together multiple bets on a series of selections. The idea behind a combination bet is to reduce the risk while maximising the potential gain that you could get back.
Many punters believe that betting an accumulator of three or four events with low odds gives a better chance of winning then wagering on an event with odds 2.00 (just an example). This is dead-wrong. In fact, combo bets are the bookmakers dream. The thing is that when you are going with this type of bet, you need multiple bets to be successful all at once for you to win. No matter how good your analysis is and no matter how solid the bets look individually, it`s extremely hard for something not to happen wrong in those games. In an accumulator of 4 games you need all 4 to win. Think about how many outcomes are possible for those 4 events together . Only one of those outcomes will bring you profit!
Besides this, if you are betting multiple events you are giving away value. Bookies apply their “juice” for every odd. With a single bet, that`s not so bad, but with a combo, the “juice” multiplies by 2,3,4 and so on, depending on the number of events. For example, you can end up having odds 2.10 for an accumulator that ideally should have odds 2.50. That doesn`t sound too good, does it? And the discrepancies can be sensibly bigger than showed in this example.
Nobody can say you musn`t bet combos at all, but it`s not a good idea to rely on these kind of bets. They can be profitable sometimes, but money in sportsbetting is earned betting singles.
As the name indicates, with a single bet you only bet on the outcome of one event. Normallly this type of bet is only available for top (Football) Leagues.
Typical single bets are outright bets like »Who wins the German Bundesliga?« or »Who will be the overall winner of the World Cup?«
All bets which allow you to select more than one event, are called combination or accumulator bets.
A system bet constitutes a special variation of the accumulator bet. As a general rule, three selections or more have to be made on the betting slip. To make your selections, click on the »System« Button on the upper right-hand side of the betting slip.
Basically, individual combination bets are placed within one bet, and you decide for yourself which combination should be included in the combination/accumulator bet. Which system bets are available, depends on the number of bets (see below 3 »out of« 4).
In contrast to the combination bet you also win even if not all of your selections are correct. With the system bet 2/3 (»2 out of 3«), your bet consists of all possible combinations of accumulator bets covering two matches, which means three different combinations of two combination pairs in the example shown below!
Sample Betting Slip:
You place the following bet:
As outlined above, these are three win double combinations with two fixtures each. So the total stake of this bet amounts to 9.00 euro (3 x 3.00 euro), whereby the total stake is deducted 0,43 € fee, therefore the real stake is only 8,57 €!. For you to understand how the bet works, the three individual bets of this system bet are explained in the following:
System bet 2/3 (2 out of 3) = three bets

Accordingly, a system bet 3/4 (»3 out of 4«) does consist of four combination bets with three betting combinations each. Otherwise you would have to place four individual triple combination bets to achieve the same result.
The more matches that have been selected, the more possible combinations you have available. The number of bets is always shown on the betting slip. Give it a try on your own betting slip!
