Multi bets vs single bets

[kryptqnick]

In my little experiment from the past, I was betting on Sportsbet.io on very likely outcomes with very low odds (1 point something). I won three single bets in a row:

But after a discussion on this forum I accepted the idea that these low odds give very low profit and are not worth the effort. So then I thought: why not make a multi bet consisting of these very likely winners and boost the profit this way? I decided to give a multi bet which combines three of such very likely outcomes a shot. And... I lost it because two out of three one and in one case another team won.

So my question is whether you prefer multi bets to single bets and whether you find multi bets significantly more risky than single bets.

Of course, multi bets are more risky because in this game the odds are combined and eventually the winnings become very serious. And where high chances of serious multiplication of funds are always very high chances to lose these funds. In my opinion, multi bets are more suitable for beginners or if you play for small amounts.

"Accumulators" as they are known are one of the biggest and best sources of income for gambling (sportsbook-type) institutions. That should tell you that they are not a good thing for gamblers. They are one of the best sources of revenue because the odds are heavily stacked against the person placing the bet - they might misunderstand the mathematics behind it and tend to think of it as a simple win/loss equation, but you really just end up with 3 chances to lose in a 3 way bet. It's similar to betting on a roulette wheel in many ways and everyone is aware that there is no way to beat the house edge in that scenario. If you have to bet on a regular basis, as your previous experience shows (although it is a insignificant sample) - then you'll get much more consistent results by placing individual bets. I always stick with single bets unless there is a very special offer that makes an accumulator worthwhile.

By multi-betting, do you mean parlay right?

Generally, neither of two can't give us an assurance that we can win most of the time. By doing parlay, aside from maximizing the best odds we can get, we consider those low odds "as safe" since likely it can win. However, as usual in sports betting, there are unexpected results and so-called upsets.

I prefer single betting but I do parlays if I want. Honestly, both are entertaining to do.

That's the challenge in sports-betting. The output will depend on our own strategy and knowledge.

Thats indeed parlay and we cant deny that when it comes to odds then this one is much more attractive but we know its con's that once you lost even one game then thats considered to be a lost bet.
This is why i dont really play with parlays even on 3 multi games only and tend to play with single which i do like even odds arent really that appealing.Upsets can really happen anytime and
basing of with my experience with 5-game parlay where my last game was a loss which really make me to punch a wall due to frustration.

So my question is whether you prefer multi bets to single bets and whether you find multi bets significantly more risky than single bets.

It seems to me that the answers to your questions are known in advance. Of course, multi bets are much more risky than single bets. This is normal. In order for the multi bet to work, you must guess several events, which is more difficult to do than guessing a single event. That is why the odds on the bets is much higher and is calculated from the number of events in a multiple bet.

Preferably, I prefer single bets than the multiple bets, single bets with good research will yield more wins because of the odds that are likely to be. The multiple bets sometimes are not good because one odd from the multiple game can render one efforts useless. Most of my bets are done on a single bet and have been yielding good result than the multiple bets and it disadvantages.

Same here where i do make out single bets rather than on making multibets.I dont just like to wait up for that long for me to see if i would win.

Yes, odds are quite nice but as expected where the risk is much more higher compared if you do make out some single bets.Once the game is over then you do know the outcome
then you can make another one not like on multi where waiting up is much longer since you do need to finish the games that are in line.

Its a matter of preference though yet there are gamblers who are really that fan on playing up multi-games or parlays due to nice odds.

I have done a lot of experiments and I think that it is better not to bet, even your favorite team with odds of 1.01 is easy to lose, bets are the usual roulette, in which you will stay anyway - on your balance if you bet only on the team, because you are a fan and believe in this team

So my question is whether you prefer multi bets to single bets and whether you find multi bets significantly more risky than single bets.

In my opinion multi bets are much more risky than single bets, because you combine multiple bets into one. Sometimes when I am really sure about the some games I combine a few bets for higher payouts, but in general I try to stick to single bets. Personally I prefer winning more often with lower payouts. When I started with sports betting I used multi bets much more often than these days. One good way to use mutli bets is when taking part in some giveaways where there is a minimum odds of 2 or higher required. So combining many low risk bets into one can make it eligible for free bets while still having a good chance of winning.

It's like if you want a nice profit on low odds which is sometimes considered a sure win, then you have to fulfill a requirement first or takes risks. There is no easy money in sports betting and we need to work on that.

Even via a single bet or parlay, it won't increase our winning chances. Those are betting method and not a strategy.

On where to stick, it depends on your taste. If you think you are fine taking the risks in a parlay, then continue. But don't focus on that betting method but rather on the sports itself. Knowledge is the best foundation. It's risky to just choose random odds just because it's safe in our eyes to form a parlay.

So my question is whether you prefer multi bets to single bets and whether you find multi bets significantly more risky than single bets.

in general, I think that single bets are better, you can analyze your opponents in more detail and place a bet, and it depends on how much you understand the category you are betting on

In my little experiment from the past, I was betting on Sportsbet.io on very likely outcomes with very low odds (1 point something). I won three single bets in a row:

It depends upon the match situation, in Boxing and MMA i always go with Parlay by picking the best possible candidates to win the fight and make some combinations of that and if there is a clear favorite i might include them but after the pandemic some of the results are strange and hence i concentrate only on fight events for Parlay and then in soccer i always go with goals scored over under in parlay rather than wins as i have seen many upsets in the past two months.

It doesn't really matter the ones more preferable, it matters the outcomes. The both are more preferable but depends on the strategy used.
Multibets are more risky so its good to stake with less amount.
Single bet is less risky so its good to stake with high amount of money.
Lets take an example,

Multibets.                               Singlebet
1. A Vs B                                1. G Vs H
Pred. A @1.23.                     pred. H @ 1.20     
2. C Vs D.                               total odds = 1.20
Pred. D @1.20                      stake = 0.01BTC
3. E Vs F.                                potential winning= 0.012BTC
Pred. E @1.28
Total odds= 1.8892
Stake= 0.002BTC
Potential winning= 0.00377BTC

So in conclusion, the more bets the less amount of stake.
The less bet the high amount of stake.

When you decided to increase your bet expect as well to increase the level of risk and remember that this is still a gambling, a risky way to collect profit. Increasing your bet doesn’t change the fate of winning so don’t expect that you’ll win even if you do multi-bet, this will still depend on the result of the game. You can just do a small bet, and at least have a sure profit even if its small, that’s still a profit if ever.

[blockman]

I prefer to single bets. For each bet that I make, I'm making sure that it's already clear before I go to the next match. There were times that I did multi bets but I want to watch the games that I watch because those bets were playing at the same time.
It's your daily preference to go for multibets or just single bets. Whichever makes you even better and comfortable, single or multi, you know yourself better.

[notblox1]

I bet on both single and multi bets, but I am putting more value and coins on singles.
I play multi bets just for fun and I don't invest high amounts and I never play on odds like you did 1.01 and 1.08
Loosing on low odds like that would made me go nuts

^ I voted 50/50.
Going back to the basic knowledge of ratio and proportion multi bets gives us a higher chance of winning but still, it remains chances absolutely it will not give us any guarantee. Moreover, if we do multi bets and we lose in the game then it hurts because we also lose a bigger amount which we can still use for later games if we didn't bet it in one single game. While with single bet we only have a low chance of winning but if we only look gambling as entertainment then might as well do single bets besides in gambling we can never tell if it is your lucky day and no one can predict who will win and who will lose in the game.

So my question is whether you prefer multi bets to single bets and whether you find multi bets significantly more risky than single bets.

Everything is risky but multi-betting (parlay) is riskier than single betting.

Don't be blinded by those set of low odds as if gambling is that easy, then we already beat the sports bookies now. And to have good final odds in a parlay, you need to add more bet slip on it.

Just do the math on how many matches you need to get a good profit if you will only choose an odds between 1.01-1.1 and you need to hit it all just to win.

Multi bets stops you backing out when the odds and winnings gets too high, it also makes the chances of pulling off the overall win quite remote yet sometimes people are on a run and shouldnt stop.   Its ideal for the small bets but purely in a logical way you could just manage every single bet manually and carry it over and thats smarter active management however I reckon most people mess it up or question their own insight wrongly and regret it later.
   Im a big fan of multi bets but also it takes alot of time and investment in the game to be this certain, multi bet is ideal for the working man who has little time to actual place or even watch the games.
