Punters’ GUIDE
How to place a Multiple Bet How to place a Multiple Bet You can bag a lot more value out of your bets by combining all your selections together in one bet. These types of bets are known as multiples or accumulators. Similarly to how single bets require your selection to win for your bet to be a winner, all of the selections that form part of your multiple must win in order for that particular multiple bet to be a winner. This is a versatile bet type that allows you to add selections from across different markets and sports. For example, you could have a horse to win in the first at Hollywoodbets Greyville, into the Sharks to beat the Bulls into Liverpool to beat Manchester United – it’s up to you to decide what you’d like to add. First things first, take a look at the video below before we get started: https://blog.hollywoodbets.net/how-
to-take-a-horse-racing-multiple/ What is a multiple? A multiple is a bet that consists of two or more horses in a particular bet. The more horses you add, the more you stand to win. Keep in mind that the more horses you add, the smaller your chances of winning. How to interpret odds? Before explaining how to take a multiple bet, it helps to understand how odds are multiplied. In the example below, let’s say you have selected horse number 2 in Race 1 (DO IT AGAIN) and horse number 4 in race 2 (RAINBOW BRIDGE). If DO IT AGAIN is 3/1 and RAINBOW BRIDGE is 2/1, you work it out as follows. Take the price of each horse and add 1. Then, multiply those numbers by
one another and subtract 1 from the final amount. 3/1 + 1 = 4 2/1 +1 = 3 4 x 3 = 12 – 1 = 11 The price of the double will be 11/1. When taking a multiple, you can add any amount of combinations you want. Scratchings Once you have an understanding of how multiple prices are worked out, equating your new price in the event of a scratching becomes quite easy. When one of your horses is scratched in a multiple that consists of two horses, your bet now becomes a single. If you have a multiple that consists of more than two horses and one of your horses is scratched, your price will be readjusted to the horses that remain in the bet.
