Multi bets vs single bets

[freedomgo]

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.

What's the logic? Why not that odds?

I'm curious  with your suggestion because I myself is also betting at that low odds when I really see a great advantage from one team.
For me, odds is just a number but the real value is seen when you analyze a game, and you can decide on what odds you'll take.

because even there is a great advantage from one team and odd like 1.05 or 1.1 seems to be winning there is a chance of losing. and you will have to bet 20 or 10 similar bets just to return your initial bet.

There is no science for purely luck based games, that's true, but sports betting isn't purely luck based.

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.

Right, also consider the following. The analogue of sports multibetting is playing slots with high volatility: your chance of winning anything is less that on low volatility slots, but if you are lucky you can get some great multipliers. But in sports multibetting this is not the case. If you missed an important info on just one team or player, nothing can help you to win that multibet.

Overall I think multibetting makes sports betting more like purely luck based gambling, only your chances of winning big are lower than on slots or dice. I was winning countless of times with 990x multiplier on dice, but we all know that it's impossible to win a sports multibet with those odds.

I don't understand why some of you are so into single bets. If you place single bets and go all-in I suggest you rather play a single dice roll. At least if you lose you would know that you were playing provably fair.
Once, I lost big on a single bet made on a champions league game: I was so sure of one team winning (odds were 1.12 playing home) and they eventually lost. Of course, I lost too. That's when I started playing multi bets only: I play less than $5 and sometimes I end up winning nice amounts.
No more single bets for me.

Same scenario for me, having so much trust and being so much of a fanboy made me broke on sports betting. There is no right and wrong in single and multi betting, we all have our own preferences and our own way of profiting from gambling. Me multi bets works really well for me, ever since I experience losing an all in bet in a most favored team I switch to multi betting and spreading my money on different match ups and teams and yes same as you results are better with multi.

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.

Maybe because of the risk and the possible return. Betting in low odds teams will tend to make you bet more in order to win more and the risk it has is not worth it for its possible return. Betting in such low odds is as risky as betting at high odds, no matter what is the team advantage a sports or a game is a game anything may happen.

I've said in my previous answer that I never do Parlay but broke that one just now with my bet on UEFA Nation's League. I placed a few bucks on Portugal, France, and Netherlands winning (total odds at 5.4). Sorry can't take my vote back, there's always a first time for everything

Logically right, once you got busted with some shits loses in order to recover those loses, you need to win and risk much higher amount or it takes longer  for you to completely cope up with certain loses.

But in some point, if you really paying attentions and you deal with good research, getting a huge percentages of winnings also value that small odd's bet, depends from how you trust your judgement.

It doesn't matter because most importantly you do it comfortably even though it takes mentality and patience to bet the parlay, because you put the Netherlands in the parlay whereas it is the match for the next day. Honestly, I often bet on parlays but wouldn't be comfortable making parlay bets but one of the matches was not played on the same day. Parlay or single bet depends on the situation and chance, because I'm not sure a sports gambler is only betting single or parlay continuously, at least there must be something different.

[emrecemsan]

I make both of them. But I can say that single bets is a better choice if you don't play with little money. Because the risk of losing is getting lower. When you make multi bets with much money, it doesn't feel as comfortable as single bets. So, I think it depends on the amount you play with.

In short, we do really have the option because you betting behavior will really vary into your interest and basing up with your analysis towards a certain team or a certain game
on where you do see that you do have the edge to win.

Ive been betting with parlays too and i agree to the point that this do really take some good control in mentally and emotional/patience aspect because if you do let
yourself lose your cool then making decisions will turn to bad.

It matters on where you do win neither you've been sticking with multi or single one but most of the time i do love to make single bets.

In the end you said it depends on the amount but you already mentioned that single bets is better even with a bigger bet amount so it doesn't have to do anything with the bet amounts to begin with.

That's fine even though a lot of us know that multi bets are bad we still do it from time to time.

There's no assurance that single bets will reduce your risk in betting. Both these results in the same percentage of winning depending on the mechanics of the game. But they have advantages and disadvantages such as how you want to enjoy gambling. If you want more time, you definitely divide your funds to be able to bet with higher frequency, you can also apply different betting techniques such as martingale when you are betting low. Unlike when you bet in huge amounts, since it is better for those who don't have much time, and just want to play. But for games such as poker and other card games that will last longer than slots, I think it doesn't matter how much you bet since the time will be the same.

I prefer multi bets despite huge amount of money involve in playing the bet is too high but it hard me to lose in multi bet compare to other single bet gambler that use to complain concerning their regular loss that is not giving them joy just because the way they lose on single bet.
Multi bet carry a lot profit if you win but the risk is too big if you lose your bet because the money spend on multi bet is too high compare to single bet you can play with small money.

Actually, no. When placing a multi bet, you can stake the same(minimum) amount as for a single bet. So, it's rather vice versa: betting on 5 events, one at a time, you have to wager 5 times more money than when betting on those 5 events simultaneously in a multi bet.

[Charles-Tim]

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

You can be right, but it can be other way around too, multiple better can comes with low fund staking like $5 but single bets can only come with high fund staking. If you like betting on a single game, there are still likely chances you can still lose, and the more you bet on single stake can be the more the loss. For me, I prefer multiple game in a way I am ready to lose my money, and I use low amount to stake infrequently.

Maybe it's the other way around?use Multi bets when you have limited money so at least if you lose there is no big amount involve.
While in Single betting when you have big budget you can put amount that you think fit in each bets and roll.
Specially if you are trying to limit yourself from betting.

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.

I'll prefer to go with a single bets than multi bets its because i am controlling myself in betting. I don't know but i am not that lucky enough in betting and i'm afraid to lose as much i am willing to lose. I am just thinking that for a single bets you have only one chance either win or lose but in a minimal amount of lose i guess better than a multi bets though i guess winning in multi bets may have a high chance of probability.

And like you have said, the important thing is you are ready and willing to accept if whatever happened to your bet, using small amount
of money to take multi bets to try getting higher returned.

There are different opinions about this, gambler have their own choice of betting strategy. Either to choose single bet or multi / parlay
as long as you are okay if whatever result will happened to your money.

I always chose the single bets than multiple bets, the reasons you'll play it without any panic and with honesty the winning chances may increase, while with multiple bets you play with highly panic because you keep thinking about losing the money.
In my experience, I won single bets more than multiple.

Maybe just focus on the chances, single bets has higher chance of winning while multi bets has lesser, but if you panic, that means you can't control your emotion and it does not change whether you bet on single or multi bets.

[Cnut237]

I definitely prefer single bets. With multi bets, it can be very easy to be tricked into a false sense of confidence. Just because 5 individual events each have an overwhelming favourite, it doesn't mean that all 5 together are likely to happen.

Consider 5 events where a good team is playing a bad team. Each good team has a 90% chance of winning. You make a bet on one of these, you have 90% chance of winning. But make a multiple bet on all 5 big teams winning, and your odds are 0.9^5... which is only 59%.
