Why a single bet is better than a multi bet.

[darxiaomi]

I think all the odds below 1.6 if you dont know how to managed this its pure shit. so many times all my bets go blow for the favourites or the 1.4 odds , its better go for a 1.7+ and with good return and dont made so many bets with lower odds.
And the 1.0 or 1.1 odds are the worst of all. No return and for a good return you need to play so much and in the end GG.

I do single bets and I don't think I'm confident with multi bets. That's why I'm avoiding it and I'm sure that I'm better with the single bets.

Actually, if it looks profitable for multi bets, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but with a note the risk involved is quite good there. But indeed, if we still want to be safe, single bets are the most appropriate thing to do because indeed the difference is only in risk, I think because the risk in single bets is relatively smaller when compared to multi.
For some bets, it's certain that I also made a single bet there, but for those that are still vague in my predictions, sometimes I'm in a multi bet.

There's nothing wrong doing that but it's all about the preference and experience that we've managed to gain. So, if you're too confident and you're doing better with multi bet, stick to it.

Some gamblers are really risking their chance in multi-bets because of its profitability.
However, most of us are not very comfortable in doing so because of high risk of losing your money.
Hence, this decision depends on the gambler himself. But some are confident because they are very familiar with the sports.
And maybe, that's why Drake, for example got his recent big winnings using multi-bets.

Understanding the odds is very important since this is not just a simple bet, and its better to have one bet compare to having a multi bet. The risk will be higher once you Multi bet, it may take you a lot of money once you got luck but expect worst if you didn’t win. The odds will tell you where to bet, ride with it.

If it's profitability to them, they should stay on it. That's like the rule for many gamblers, if they're winning on that particular strategy or game or type of betting, they should stay put there while they're being seen doing good from it. Some gamblers chooses to be dynamic and they would try almost everything that they can because they think that's good for them. Just so be it, if you're lucky and resulting very well in multibets, there's savor it while it last.

I know there's a lot of analysis already but I just want to add something since I consider myself a connoisseur of extreme singles haha.

1. Yes, the value is far, far higher in a single bet. Today, Real Madrid was as high as 4.40 on FortuneJack, and you can still get over 4.05 on Sportsbet with a Super Boost (they give out 2 or 3 a day on selected matched). You squeeze even more out on P2P markets -- I have Sporting Lisbon at 12.34 on Fairlay, it's about 10/1 elsewhere. So if you like playing underdogs, you squeeze out easily 10-20% value from one win.

2. You can get very good value with accas too, though, but only if you select price boosts or add in value from other promotions. FortuneJack has a regular 25% cashback on 4-legged accas, for example. I don't mind stringing together 4 legs over 2 or 3 weeks just for the 25% cashback, and I see very good value in this. Sportsbet has a running 5-leg boost+free insurance, it's pretty much 10% or more of a price boost PLUS the bet back if you lose one leg.

So in summary: in general I'd definitely say singles are better but only if the odds you get are significantly better than the mean. But promos on accas are not to be sniffed at.

What does accas mean? Abbreviation from the accumulated bets?
I don't have a Fortune Jack account, so I want to clarify - do they give cashback only on the occasion of a loss? It seems to me (although it’s probably worth making accurate calculations) that sportsbet conditions are better (bonus + boost + free insurance).

Sorry, yes, accumulator = acca = parlay = multibet. I'm not sure on the exact origins but my very first experience on sports was using UK books, they always used accumulator or acca for short. Then my first crypto books were North American and I noticed they used parlays. I think multi is a lot more popular these days but I actually only started seeing the term in the past few years. I could be wrong =) I probably still think "acca" or "parlay" a lot, but I suspect multi is a better term to avoid British and US ambiguations!

FJ does a regular "4+1" so you would need to bet 4 accas on UCL and the big leagues, NFL, NBA (to my memory) so that's all the big leagues covered anyway, and then you'd get a freebet back, based on the average amount of your past 4 accas. Essentially, a 25% cashback as a freebet, which is better than a lossback (which tends to be lower). Sorry for not being more descriptive. It's not active now but every season it comes by at least twice -- again, memory! Accas do need to have 1.3 min odds per leg, but that's easy.

Sportsbet does seem better yes, and every leg tacked on to the 5 gives you an additional boost... up to 100% boost on 10 legs maybe? But I think you lose out on the insurance advantage, and it has a 1.5 min odds per leg too, making your options a bit narrower.

Thanks for your comparison both Multi bets vs single bets.I have been using multi bets but single bets is comfortable. Many time i won multi bets, when we will win multi bets then make good money. But many times losing money, i think multi bets is risky.Single bets is more comfortable better than Multi bets.I have many experienced and realized single single bets is better than multi bets.

Think of it as self-fulfilling in the sense that you have a higher chance of winning. For example, in the color game that is very popular in our country, I usually bet two colors rather than one because I have a higher chance of winning. However, based on the comparison, it is riskier and results in a larger loss because you are betting twice. It is the same with doubling your bet simply in the hopes of recovering your losses but ends up losing a lot. If you are betting, the best option for me is to use single bets because you will not lose your money in a short period of time.

Single bets increase your chances of winning, it's hard to argue with that, but at the same time it is important that the odds be around 2, because even when betting on single bets with odds of 1.1-1.2 it is difficult to be profitable. You correctly said that everyone has their own strategy and it is important to follow the rules that help you not to do stupid things. If there is no strategy and the player is constantly changing something, then there will be more and more losing bets.

Single bets are easier to win than multy bets (parlay) because you only need to make 1 correct guess to win the bet. While multi bet (parlay) is much more difficult because you have to guess everything right to win the bet and that is the reason why single bet is better than multi bet (parlay) based on probability. Both have different risks in terms of probabilities, but multy bet (parlay) can make you win more money if all your guesses are correct.

But if you ask me then I prefer single bet over parlay because I can't win a parlay for long for 4 different match and league every week.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Congrats on staying away from it, many people grow out of it over time or begin to see the futility in it - casinos are not built on money paid out to winners after all. There is a company called "PaddyPower" that offers a promotion called "Beat The Drop" and they will give you a chance to win 250k if you can predict 20 results correctly. Even when I pick the clear favorites, it can be hard to progress past 3-4 wins on a row which just shows how difficult it can be to accurately predict a multi-leg outcome. For anyone doing betting long term, trying to make a return off of it, they would be much wiser to stick with single bets all the time if their picking skills are solid.

Mighty paddy power! There was a time when I used to visit the outlets and online page all the time. It's before I was involved with crypto. Paddy Power, Coral etc were the best for offline and for online Paddy Power and Bet365 were best.

Well with a 20 fold accumulator you do not need a chance to win 250k you potential outcome will be more that the prize they have. I have seen slips to win with 20 or more selections but that's once in a million if not in billion times.

In single bet you have less house edge than any multi bet.

You are absolutely right. How many times I have not made parlay bets I have never been able to win. After that I prefer to use single bets only. Although an acquaintance of mine still makes parlay bets for small amounts and sometimes wins. I prefer to minimize the risks, so I only choose single bets.

Yes, I also prefer single bets for a reason, because I'm lazy to find a lot of information about parlay betting for the purpose of making all the right choices, and it's really hard and always loses.
single bet is easier and only looks for two accurate information to determine the answer, although not always accurate but sometimes wins, depending on research to find the overall information.
It is better to win small but win more often, than to expect to win big but the chances of winning are very small and always lose.

[darxiaomi]

One good resume can be. If you wanna win big money without having a big bank, go for multibets.
If you wanna win big money and have a BIG bank go for singles bets with a ton of knowledge.

And you need to know your psychology. Why? because for example i really struggled a lot to put a big ammount of money in one single Bet. Its a thing i cant do, also if i have a ton of insurance in the bet.

I do also suck on parlays on which either having 3-4 games consecutive on which the first 3 was win and the last was lost which is really that frustrating.Its true that people would most likely
be seeing on the odds offered which is really big whenever you do look at it but if you are really good on calculations and trying out to compare with single bets then you could really see the
differences and its true that single bets is much more interesting to me and not really that kind of stressful thing since you wouldnt really need to make out some multiple research.

It is true that for me, the probability of winning in single bet is higher than in multi-bets. However, if you are very confident with the sports you are betting in and you very well know the capability of the teams, your winning chance just increased. But I do agree, single bet definitely is less stressful as once it is over, you're done. But with multi-bets, your stress level shoots up in the last match, that is, if all the other bets were already won.

Both was an option and they have a different reason to do. Single bet was more like an all-in and a side with a luck but only if you do it right. Been betting multibets in the past but haven't got a luck since your bet was spread and it decreases considering you need to get the correct guesses on all in order to win huge.

I have to say you do not have to win every time neither. I mean the parlay one pays a lot better, if you do 4 different ones versus 4 in a parlay the amount of money you could win grows exponentially as well. This means you could have a bigger leeway to lose and then win once in a while as well.

So, assuming you could play single bets, you could end up losing money as well, not like you are going to end up with all wins. Assuming you have 10 bets, 9 of them wins and one of them losses, you will be in profit probably, and in parlay you will lose. But if you do this 10 times, and one parlay wins, then you are going to win even more than the single bets. That is why people prefer that one over single, well the ones that prefer it at least.

[OgNasty]

I'm a huge fan of the multi bet.  Especially if you closely follow a sport.  I feel like I can hit a 5 game parlay with much better than the odds presented based on how much information I consume regarding NBA basketball.  I frequently make tiny bets, and while most of them are in fact losers, I win with a much higher % than the odds I am given.  1 large parlay can make up for weeks of losses with a very small bet.  Everything to me is risk reward.  I don't want to take a risk to double my money, I want to take a risk to 50x my money.  If it's an educated risk, all the better.
