Multi bets vs single bets

[kramchers]

If you use the single bets obviously the risk is very small compared to multiple bets where the risk is high.
In this way of betting there's no assurance for us to win big here, this is more likely rely on luck for real, there is no technique
here that we need to apply, of course not! all we need to practice is to minimize our loss, that's it!

I think there is no gambling place that provides guarantees about big wins that can be obtained, all of them have risks that cannot be avoided, even though you have a lot of practice and experience, you still can't win 100%, indeed the safe way is to make a single bet rather than bet on a lot of games that won't necessarily win.

Single bet is not really risk but just receiving little reward with your betting, but if you choose multiple bet you will earn much profit but your betting must true and never miss or wrong although one match. I will prefer with multiple betting because with little salary we can get much profit depend how correct my prediction, but when have five or seven match pass with true I will cash out than have waiting all match finish because always have one match to make you lost. For single bet I think is for gambler have much money and can try it because single bet just giving higher odds maximum above 2,3 and many single bet odd just 1.4.

Of course, and that is a gambling fact. There is no guarantee that we can win any bet. Therefore, if we decide to gamble then we must also accept defeat. I also agree that the single bet is a safer way of betting on sports because the risk is less than the multi bet. But that doesn't mean we never have a chance to win if you bet multi, but the winning percentage is very small and really requires luck.

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

There is no doubt that it is very difficult for us to correctly guess several matche at once. Even if we bet on the single bet then we can't or really have a hard time guessing more matche right and I believe that. I prefer the single bet over the multi bet just because of the risk.

It depends, even though you only play a single bet it can still get big profits and clear, all bets have their risks because even if you bet at the lowest odds it still doesn't guarantee you to win even though indeed, the winning percentage is bigger but still gambling will always there is a risk of losing. Betting single or multi depends on your taste and goals, but whatever your goal is you will still be able to bet on both, because when you are ready to gamble then you are also prepared for the risks.

Multi bets or single bets, it's just all about luck. Single bet can also be risky too if you go all-in.
While multi bets is also not good if you lose only once, it's difficult to recover your bet from that loss. It would take many games and there's a high chance that you would lose again recovering your losses.

You know I always prefer to put 1 unit on each bet which I plan to pick for multi bet instead of putting 1 unit on the multi bet because the chances are high that I will end up losing it. This is how I go when I feel I have a good multi bet shared from someone.

- There are say 5 bet slips combined to make a multi bet
- I will add those 5 bets in single bet and put 1 unit on each

Now, if I was expecting to win all the 5 bets I can surely be assured that at least 3 will hit and that means profit so that is how I make my bets, not very successful but it is better than burning money in multi bet.

And that's  how gambling works, no guarantee whatsoever,  a matter of luck as always, as even you have specialties  on certain  events there's still chances of losing.

Small or big odds,  single or parlays  once bad luck  takeover then expect  to lose your money,  no one can change  that fate, luck always  the key factor to win.

The good catch is whenever you use parlays  and you win the pride inside your heads is much bigger  than hitting  a single pick  bet. Ain't new to anyone  to try keep repeating since inside your  head the chance of getting big profit rside behind multibettings.

I like this opinion but can you see it the other way, normally gambling is risky, the betting companies never gone bankrupted because 99.99% of people that are gambling are losing to them while the betting companies are gaining. If you stake a single bet, you will increase the amount you will use to stake, and nothing guarantee that you will still win, I see accumulation as the best, using very little amount of money that you can afford to lose, thinking you have lost already and seleted big odds without you thinking to win, luck could come, and if you lose, you are not depressed but still happy.

I would be rather curious to know how you guys bet and how you make use of singles. Do you really believe in minimizing risk when placing single bets? It's like going all-in, you basically flip a coin, either you win or you lose. If you like that, keep on playing. That's not for me.

It depends upon the match situation, i usually go for full house if i am wagging a bet on soccer, cricket, boxing and UFC and it depends upon the level of competition and usually if place a multi bet it will be from a combination of different sports i follow, sometimes it pays off big time and sometimes you would see upsets and it is part and parcel of sporting events.

I've preferred a single bet, multiple bets won't give you assurance to win but most likely, it adds more losses to our part. Thus, a single bet gives the same winning chances as multiple bets because if you are lucky in our first bet might not be in the other bet we made. The same thing into making a single bet.
We are just enjoying here in gambling, having a single bet will help you stay for a little bit longer, quite different when you place several bets just a reason to make money and enhance winning chances which literally not possible.

Both of this betting style does not add assurance, you can also lose even taking the lowest odds. As a gambler, make a betting style that you feel you are comfortable and that it would result you to a better bankroll management so you'll not be frustrated once you loss your discipline.

[kryptqnick]

The concern is when you're doing that you don't really choose the other matches you're betting on. It means you'll bet on them while you wouldn't do it for a single bet, then you're more likely to lose your bets on those matchs and finally to lose your parlay.

Never thought of it that way, but I think it is very close to what's really happening. Indeed, when betting on several events simultaneously I don't have the time for a proper research on each of them. I mean, I definitely spend much less time(if any) on some of my picks, compared to when making a single bet.

Good point! +1

But that's not necessarily the case. For instance, if a person is betting on EPL matches, this person probably has good knowledge of the teams and what they're capable of. So in that case, if one already did research about Manchester City, one can apply this knowledge to multiple matches where they're playing, and a multi bet might make more sense here.

I think most of us here on the forum are trying to minimise their own risk while still trying to profit of a bet. Single bets are best for such bets in my opinion. You know exactly what kind of risk you take even though the payoffs might be lower than with multi bets. As someone who gamble and bets regularly you should never go all-in on one bet in my opinion. The risk of losing is just too high. It's best to spread out your bets across multiple different bets.

The odds on a single bet might be more tricky than one would expect, so you don't exactly know the risk. You know it better than with multi bets, I guess, but have a look at this discussion about the same bet having different odds on the same website.

The risk is always there, you are right on that, but after following this thread for some time, I've come to the conclusion that multi bets are riskier than single ones. And it's not like, the more risky your bet, the higher multiplier you get, no. You are more likely to win a single bet with 1.9 odds, than a multi bet of 3 that gives you the same outcome odds. And the main reason for that is that you can't research as thoroughly about 3 events, as you can about 1 event.

Man, betting is not like science. The amount of effort you put into researching what the possible outcome of an event could be will never be enough. There are always unexpected circumstances that will blow away your conclusions. Really anything can happen that you couldn't foresee. And, also, how much money do you bet @1.90? Again, better to flip a coin.

Every pick we make is coming from our conclusion based on our research, there's no guarantee to win but at least we always try our best to win. Every gambler has our own style of analyzing the game, but the only thing that would measure our success is our gambling record, if we boost we are a winner, we should back that up with proof.

[CryptocurencyKing]

This is a tricky one. It's really an option based on you finance a d need capacity. Your meant to choose or favour one after putting this two options in consideration. Single bets always seems like the most sure or have a high probability of a win as, the best teams are considered in placing your bets but, you tend to benefit more should you put a higher stake and that's where the risk lies. As much as you tend to win huge, your loss as well could be ground breaking based on your stake. It's always an option either taken out of despiration based on an individual's need or by someone with a high staking power and the capacity to do so.

Accumulation bets on the other hand often becomes an option for very skeptical users and then, to increase their winnings mainly not by staking huge but increased bets. It's an income conservation strategy. I go with this often so, it's most preferable to me as loss is not greatly felt.

There are things that you can't research in advance about. However much you know about Manchester City, it's not gonna help you in making the right prediction about their performance in a particular game, if you missed the latest news about an injury or disqualification.

There is no science for purely luck based games, that's true, but sports betting isn't purely luck based. Your research can significantly improve your chances of winning, although it can't, of course, guarantee a positive outcome. But then again, can science do that? I mean, not for betting, but for some major things like climate, health, space travelling? Not always, that's for sure.

Both true... I always believe that there's a way to be a successful sports bettor, but you can't be successful playing consistently on luck based games, unless you'll win millions and then you stop. End result, you are in profit.

That's what I always thought, it only does improve our chances of winning but we have to be realistic that it does not guarantee a win.
More information you know, the more it increase your chances as you can use that information to analyze which team will win in the game, but then, there are things that would happen that is unlikely to happen, so it's possibility to consider.

[Tim1996]

Performance is greatly affected of your bankroll while playing single vs parlay.
I prefer single as it has less risk.

[Smartvirus]

Single bets are the best form of bets because, your almost sure of your predictions before actually staking on a bet. It offers more chances for a win than the multi bets, though the outcome in monetary terms might be low depending on your stake but then, the chances are more. Why is this so, you may ask?
This is because, predicting a lot of matches correctly takes only luck and hope w far before luck runs out of you as at least one or two big teams have got to loose every match days. Compiling bets brings the possibility of adding one or two of these supposed sure bets to the multiple.

[nikola22]

single bets are good when you gamble with big money. multi bets are usually made with small amount of money. as for me I make both of them and don't have any preference.

p.s. try to avoid low odds and bet and least 1.4-1.5.

Single bets are much preferred but if you do tend to have a small amount of bet and reaching high multiplier then parlay would be the best.
