Multi bets vs single bets

[Betwrong]

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%.

The odds are even less than that, they are 45%. But I'm sure it was a typo, and I get your point.

If you ask me, I think it's easier to win a single bet with 45% win chance than a multi-bet of 5 with the same cumulative win chance, although mathematically the chances are the same. So, I too prefer single bets. But sometimes, when I win 3 bets in a row in one day, I think, why didn't I placed them all together as a multi-bet to win several times more? I  mean, I wouldn't avoid multi all the time. Sometimes it can be fun.

I don't think it was a typo. The calculation looks correct to me. Please let me know though if my reasoning is wrong!

0.9^1   0.9
0.9^2   0.81
0.9^3   0.729
0.9^4   0.6561
0.9^5   0.59049

I think it's easier to win a single bet with 45% win chance than a multi-bet of 5 with the same cumulative win chance, although mathematically the chances are the same.

  But it's not easier if it's the same, it's the same. Unless you mean the psychological difference... which is interesting, because to me—intuitively—the multi feels easier, because you're stacking multiple individual outcomes that individually are easier.

What could be the difference of multi bets to single bets? Does multi bets means placing a fixed amount to different number of games? or something like accumulator which combines multiple bet into one bet?

[Becky666]

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

Yeah, there are high chances for a single bet to be won than there is in the multiple bet. Personally, whenever spot-betting is be talk; i love it when it's single bet than multiple bet, i have made some good winnings from this single bet, though  have also made some reasonable win with multiple bet but not as single bet is concerns. My bet is done on the platform that i trusted the teams am betting on.

It depends on what game are we going to play and how many games we are going to gamble. There is a lot of factors that can give more advantage on multi bets or single bet. It is better if we single bet on a big rewards if we have a big chance to win it and we should multi bet if there are only small rewards and the chance of winning is not sure. If I were you, I won't stop finding a gambling scene where i can single bet because it will give me a lot of earnings more than multi bets but it also has a higher risk.

Recently made sure that all the same single bets are better than the express! Especially in the English Premier League, where the teams play unpredictably lately!
I used to love making express bets, but now I can't boast of winning... Single bets are much more likely to win...

Ops, likewise me. The last weekend was my worst experience with the England Premier League, they are seriously ruining tickets which are single bet and the multiple bets, nobody predict such to happen soon but that's what makes it gambling. Single bet is though better compare to multiple bet IMO.

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.

Exactly my point the more bets, more risk in losing more in an instant. I rather do single bets with the right amount of time to analyze and do not rush in decisions that i might regret later. Being to greedy will only cost me more. Instead choose games that has higher odds rather than multi bets that you might majorly lose many and only win a few.

Making multi bets doesn't really signify on being greedy because there are people whom do think  that making such thing is just a way on diversifying out their capital

in the sense that once they had lost some of them there still some bets that could possibly win and wont able to wipe out their balance in one go.This is what im thinking too

but this is really the common reason I do saw but if we do make out some realistic realizations then it would really be worth to be on single bets than multi ones.

On point. The term multi-betting, either betting on different betting slips or a single parlay, would not be heard as a gambling term if it's not effective to others.

There are reasons why a gambler are opting to choose that kind of betting and they might be comfortable doing that or the result are good if they did that betting strategy.

Whatever the kind of betting we choose, as long as we win, then that's what matters.

If you are just a common gambler who wants to focus on one game there is nothing wrong because you want to look at what are the possible odds you will get.

There are some people makes a multi bet because there is a possible higher chance of winning and I'm one of them because it's having too much fun but the problem is I can't watch the game I already bet because some of them are the same time or one hour time difference and both of them are already ongoing or in the game it's hard to know if you are already winning or not.

Since that's offered in sportsbook, gamblers would also be attractive on that, for people who are so focus and serious with their bankroll strategy, I think they would not play on that, or maybe play for fun only with a small amount.

Well, as long as you got proper bankroll you can still play with it and just enjoy it. It's hard not to enjoy the parlay when you are seeing some people making money from small amount to big amount, but of course chances are small so we can't expect an easy win, we need extreme luck on this.

I prefer single bets, because I'm a typical person who likes to focus on one thing. So my mind is not divided when do single bets gambling,
after all the profit generated is far more optimal. Because in my opinion, the capital I will use to bet can be much greater if I play single bets.
And also analyzing the match is not rushed, so I can make the right decisions.

Your mind divided? wow, I think it is not your mind to be divided but your focus on the game. 
By the way, I also prefer a single bet. Besides can focus on it, we also have a lower risk for the loss. While if you choose multi bets, you have more risks to lose more money although at the same time have a higher chance to get bigger money. However, it likely relies on your luck, I won't take a big risk on this kind of game.

The risk factor is always there if you wage for a single match or multiple matches, if you are talking about betting for heavy favorites then it is a different story and i do not always play like that. I would usually go for huge parlay with big odds and wage a small amount and even if you loose you are not hurting much but if you are lucky enough you could land a fortune and i usually make those kinds of bets most of the time and i have won those a few times, it is all about luck.

Multi-bet means combining a lot of bets into a single bet and this is usually one to gain high odds but the problem is that if one leg loses (leg means one outcome basically) your bet will be lost.

I prefer making single bets over multi-bets because it is easier to win each bet and actually if you have the ability to make a multi-bet where you win 10/10 legs then it is better to bet on those 10 bets as singles because in that case if you even win 6 out of 10 bets you should still be in profit and in case all 10 hits you will make good profit although not as much as betting the amount on multi.

The only difference between this two is that, the single bet is more favorable than the multiple bet, my recent take will be from these ongoing premier league, from the beginning of this league (Premier League) i often go with the multiple bets until they taught me a greater lesson which ruined my bet, but ever since i joined the single bet i have been doing well in this season.

Yes, but when one or two matches make our parlay bet crushed, even if it's low bet but still, we feel pain. I personally often look for high odds by means of multi-betting and indeed, I only bet low amount because that is the strategy. Single bet by putting in more money I think it is a higher risk. Well, it all depends and I'm sure, all of them have their own way of enjoying betting.

but if you prefer only low odds even single bets won't save you from losing because as you noticed the results of English Premier League matches are unpredictable. sometimes multi bets may give you a big win.

There's no specific game that would change your chances of winning, odds are created for a purpose, small odds gives higher chance of winning, but that's it, it's just a chance you will still lose. Betting on small odds blindly, that thing would make you lose more money, believe me, I experience that.

I know multi bet is better than single bet with calculation reward where multi bet have bigger odd than single bet, but depend with match and I never choose any thing without reason why have too choose many club for multi bet in betting. Looks simple if you have much or use bigger fund for betting better you try with single bet and choose depend with you favorite team to win like Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United when faced with small club, but if you have small fund for betting multi bet is the best solution to earn much money but you have correct prediction with your betting put.
