A single bet:
A bet on only one team/ player within an event where only one outcome is predicted.
A multiple bet:
A bet on multiple teams/ players where more than one outcome is predicted. All selections must be successful for the bet to win. If a selection is scratched or a participant becomes a non-runner or an event is abandoned then the multiple bet will be recalculated and the non-runners odds excluded. A multiple bet is an accumulative type of bet involving 2 or more selections over a range of events.
The odds of a multiple bet are worked out as follows:
| • | 5 | / | 10 | Rafael Nadal | |
| • | 9 | / | 10 | South Africa | |
| • | 12 | / | 10 | Arsenal | |
| • | 3 | / | 1 | Lewis Hamilton |
Step 1: Add 1 to each odds
| • | 5 | / | 10 | = | 1.5 | ||
| • | 9 | / | 10 | = | 1.9 | ||
| • | 12 | / | 10 | = | 2.2 | ||
| • | 3 | / | 1 | = | 4 |
Step 2: Multiply all selected teams/ players odds
| • | 1.5 | x | 1.9 | x | 2.2 | x | 4 | = | 25.08 |
Step 3: Take the product of step 2 and minus 1 and you will get the odds of your multiple.
| • | 25.08 | – | 1 | = | 24.08 | / | 1 |
So your multiple odds are 24.08/1
