For sports bettors, are you attracted with bet builder feature?

[letteredhub]

I just recently explored the bet builder feature of the sportsbook I'm currently using, and I find it interesting as you can have more bets combine in just one game which is impossible on parlay bets. So I'd like to hear your thoughts regarding this, is it also profitable or just a waste of money?

the bet builder feature isn't that new it's been around for  sometime now and it's more entertaining and time managing than the single bet due to how you can combine many games in one bet. It's not a waste of money and it's profitable if you can produce good predictions that corresponds with the games results, meaning that the chances of you winning using accumulation/combined feature is very slim. The advantage is that you can win big amount of money using small amount like $100 to bet due to the accumulation.

I rarely use it as to win it means you have to get most of the different bets put into a single ticket,like one team to win,over 2.5 goals,both teams to score yes,both halves over 1.5 and all sort of those bets all in one,we know it is very difficult to hit many of these bets yet when we hit one of them of course the odd is minimum over 3 or even more so this type of bet is for someone who has a lot of money and is obsessed that at a certain game there will be goals,a team will win and both teams will score together with some other bet to add to it,most normal people are not that attracted to this,even when I stay copying other people bets I rarely find such bets available.

Just tried it for a couple of times but not happy with my outcome it always comes at a loss so I haven't tried again and just doing the single bet. I think it's profitable if you are good with it and not just a waste of money because there are people out there that seems to love it, it's not just for everyone who's into sports betting tbh.

I would also join the group of "traditional gamblers".
This type of betting, although it seems attractive, introduces an extra level of risk which I personally find useless since even if you play just one event in reality it's like playing "combinations".

a company I worked for, always said "keep it simple".I think it can be applied in this case too

Been betting on bet builder since last year, and yeah, why not take advantage of it. Definitely it makes betting more interesting and interesting as you can combine player stats as well and see how good you are in making some predictions based on your analysis and of course the experience with those games, like in my case I have tried it in NBA games.

I don't think that it's a waste of money, and obviously, it's profitable if you are going to win. It might just make it harder as compare to just single bet with ML or any handicap. But as I have said, it will be a big test on your end on how good (or bad?) you are as far as being a sports bettor. So it's worth a try from time to time and so when you watch the game, it will be exciting to cheer for the player you have bet on.

Regardless of what resources this bet builder is providing, in my opinion if someone wants to have some chance of profit, even if we are talking about a small chance, then that person should make simple bets, normal bets are better options. when for example there is a La Liga game, Barcelona against Real Madrid and the odds are at 2.50 for both teams and the person analyzes the two teams and comes to the conclusion that it would be better to bet on Real Madrid and that person manages to get it right, then this person ends up with more than 2x profit, which means that this person will have money to bet on 2 more games, and even if they lose in one game they would still be making little profit, they would have to lose again to end up with a 50% loss.

By this I mean that the person should not keep placing bets with low odds, the person should not keep placing money on all the games so that they try their luck to see if they get most of the games right, the person should not make multibet bets . The person should focus on the game that has the highest odds and is easiest to predict the result. It is much better to bet on a game each week that is a game with odds above 2.00 and that is easy to predict the result and the person is right than losing money with multibet bets or bet builders and at the end of the day the entire bank goes in in bankruptcy

This is the only option I mostly use for betting, like I'm even starting to bet on others. Aside from the sportsbook, my betting has mostly been on sports, which allows me to select multiple games, and this gives me a higher chance of winning big with just a small wager since I'm allowed to bet on multiple games with different options that add the odds together and calculate my potential winning.
 
It's also gives one the advantage of having a cash out option for a very long game that you have predicted could have lasted for weeks or months, and if one of the sports games has started and it's in your favour, you can be allowed to withdraw the available cash out and still re-bet the other one. This is done when my confidence is not strong about the outcome of the game, so I have to take what I see first and try again with other ones.

Other gambling sites call it "Same Game Multi" in Stake.com others call it "Same Game Parlay". Just for information.

Same with parlays, it's risky. But you can win loads of amount if you know your game. Recently, I made one and I got one mistake only out of 7 players that I predicted with their points and rebounds in basketball. Some of them are just 1 point difference win while the last one where I made a mistake didn't even receive any rebounds where I needed 2 of them.
Here is the bet ticket for that.

Like I said, if you know your game then it could really be profitable for you. If I didn't input that last bet there, it's still x26 and I regret that I did it because it was my greed talking to me to add one more and maximize the betbuilder.
Other gamblers do try to minimize the risk by just controlling it to the x3 - x4 range while others go way far down to just x1.5 - x2.00 but with a high chance to win the bet.

Bet builders are a good way to earn some extra money if you are confident enough on your predictions in a single game. If that is not the case, then a straight money line or a normal parlay will suffice.

I sometimes use bet builders whenever I know that my picks are good and I know that the game will easily run through just as I envision it. It adds thrill to the games, plus it wouldn't hurt earning a little extra. Most of the time though, I just chill and play money lines and watch without any worries whatsoever if I just want to get done with the game.

I also often use this method on Stake.com on some of my favorite sports bets, but I think it would be very risky even in many bets I only get one or two wins even in four betting options.
You bet on almost all the options available, of course the Odds can be very high and the risk of losing is even greater because if one bet loses everything will be in vain, plus sometimes bets like this really make us tempted by the Odds that can be obtained.

However, it all depends on the gamblers themselves whether they really know or have knowledge in each match to be able to determine what choices to bet on.
Usually people who dare to use this method are gamblers who have lot of experience and also have expertise in predicting each bet and really forget about risks because they have the confidence to win.

[Strongkored]

Using this at one of the bookies I usually bet on, it's quite an interesting feature and it's much better than parlay in my opinion, it's just that the chances of winning are greater when you have very good knowledge of the sport, and it has given me quite a well profit several times when I routinely did it in the NBA Finals last season, I bet regularly on one team and several players who performed consistently with good statistics, whereas when I tried it in football it wasn't so successful, perhaps because it is more difficult to predict the results, and this is a very interesting feature.

[Yamifoud]

We have different answers here, and I like reading your replies so far.

@OP, may I suggest if you can add this question: 'Which is better, parlay or bet builder feature?'...

I personally like to know what people think, since this is quite new while parlay has been here even before. As for me, I like the bet builder feature, and I'm pretty much attracted to it due to better chance of winning.

I like this question more because there's a big difference there. Some may say that a parlay is easier than a bet builder but the time is your enemy because it may take the whole day to complete the parlay series. In bet builder, you only need to wait for the game to end and chances of cashing out midway are there which means profit if a gambler thinks he ain't going to hit it all.

It's true, adding more means adding more risk and that's why the multiplied profit also keeps on growing as it jumps from x2 to x4. Greed can sometimes influence our bet here as we try to maximize the multiplier by adding another bet.
It's a big mistake for me to add one more but greed is not something that could be controlled easily, I admit though it's a stupid thing that I did.

Knowledge about the game and some luck. Because in a betbuilder there will be times that one player will be off night especially the ones who are expected to score. A phenomenon that cannot be controlled, I know because I played and I've been there, wherever he shoots even at the closest range, it's like there's a lid on the rim.

I agree more with @Oshosondy opinion, it makes more sense and is easier to understand.
even if I often make multi or parlay bets, that just one part of my desire to try my luck at higher odds, but actually, if I want to get bigger chance of winning, I just choose to bet on a single bet without combining several teams that I have to choose with. smaller risk and with a better chance winning bets that I use.

I have never tried a feature like that, its just that I prefer what I want to do without having to follow any trends from anyone and believe more in what I do myself.

I guess you should try it because it's a really good feature added by most sportsbooks now. I don't know when they added it, but I find it new, and personally, I'm enjoying it with my side bets. Not necessarily a big amount of money, but just a way to add more thrill. I'm just curious; it just sunk into my mind now. Is it also possible to parlay a bet builder bet? Has anyone tried it yet?

[Gozie51]

What difference does it make... It is just to accumulate your different individual wager in one bet and also add the builder odds. Although it will make your bet harder because to scale through all the games will be a difficult task than playing a single game. I will prefer to give my bet more chance to win but boosting it with reasonable higher odds.

[Natsuu]

Well its like creating your own sports betting mixtape where you get to pick and choose different elements for a single game and customize your bet. For me, it is more like enjoyable. Whether it's profitable or a bit of just a gamble loss depends on how well you know your stuff just tue usual losses. If you've got a good read on the teams and players, it can be a fun way to spice up your bets. But the more you add, the riskier it gets. So just play chill and smart.

[Jawhead999]

Yeah bet builder is a good feature for someone who really understand and make a depth analysis to the match he want to bet. Sometimes I use it whenever I want to take a big risk, I'm not prefer to bet in parlay because when I've correctly guess all the matches and waiting the next one match, if I guess wrong then it's really make me emotional as I've wait the last match lol.

I guess it's automatic that our chance will decrease once we combine our bets, whether it's a parlay or a bet builder bet. But the kind of excitement is probably different, as we always have this instinct that convinces our mind that we have a good chance of winning because we were able to analyze our combinations. So, we don't actually mind the reality that we have lower chances, since our confidence is high. I think that's what we really need when we are gambling—a kind of being optimistic and embracing a positive outcome.

[Yogee]

I'm huge on single bets nowadays but I like the idea of winning more from one game so I still do it from time to time. I usually just limit it to the total score and total assist of some players.

You can't have them all hehe. There's a reason why they created a separate parlay market for different games and for a single game. It would defeat the purpose if they allow such bets.
