What is a Bet Builder? How to place one, markets and odds

Here's everything you need to know about Bet Builders, including how to place one, markets that can be selected and how odds are calculated.

What is a Bet Builder?

A Bet Builder is essentially a multi-leg bet which allows you to compile a variety of selections from a single match.

Available on a wide number of sports, a Bet Builder consists of a minimum two selections.

The odds of your Bet Builder will increase with the more selections that are added, leading to higher potential payouts.

Bet Builders have become a staple of sports betting and enable customers to bet on a variety of aspects concerning a single match.

How do I create a Bet Builder?

To create your Bet Builder, you will need to navigate to your chosen fixture or event and select the Bet Builder feature from the header.

You will then see all available markets and your Bet Builder odds will be calculated with the addition of every selection.

Once you have added all your selections, you can then add the Bet Builder to your bet slip and enter your stake.

What markets are included in a Bet Builder?

There are an abundance of markets that customers can pick from when assembling a Bet Builder.

For example in football bets, the most common markets used for Bet Builders include:

• Result
• Goals Over/Unders
• Both Teams To Score
• Team Shots/Shots on Target
• Corners Over/Unders
• Cards Over/Unders
• Handicaps

In team matches, you can also combine a variety of individual player selections into one bet.

Popular markets include:

• Player Shots/Shots on Target
• Player Cards
• First Goalscorer
• Anytime Goalscorer
• Player Passes
• Player Tackles
• Player Fouls

However, it's worth noting that you cannot include more than six players per team, per event (goals, cards, etc.) in your Bet Builder.

In the event that a player you have selected does not start a match, that selection will be made void.

How are Bet Builder odds calculated?

The Bet Builder feature will work out your odds automatically but the method to calculate your odds is relatively simple.

Convert the fractional odds into decimal numbers and add one. You then multiply all of the odds together before subtracting one from the total sum.

For example:

• Liverpool to Win @ 1/1
• Trent Alexander-Arnold to score Anytime @ 2/1
• Liverpool to score a penalty @ 4/1

2 x 3 x 5 + 30. Subtract one equals 29, which then provides you odds of 29/1 for your Bet Builder.
