How do I use combination bets (bet slip)?

In sports betting, you have to adopt your own strategy at all costs if you want to win often enough. To do this, you will need to practice and quickly adapt to this world. You will have to start this learning process by mastering the different options offered by the platforms. We add to your personal knowledge today by telling you about combined bets, or betting slips, in our betting guide.

What are the best bookmakers to bet live from Kenya?

Explanation of the concept

A combined bet is simply the combination of several events from different meetings that you put together to make a single bet. It differs from the basic option found at bookmakers in that it is very lucrative and quite interesting.

In order to win money, you will need a minimum of knowledge in order not to get caught in certain traps. It is important to know that once you have made your predictions, the odds of the matches you have selected multiply with each other.

This is what it looks like:

Combined betting techniques

As you can see, in combination betting, the odds are higher. So you can win a lot with a very small bet. However, before you can do this, all the predictions in your combination must be right. A single event that does not come true destroys your chances of winning.

Another advantage of combined betting is that it allows you to make money in the short term. Unlike single bets, where you have to set up a method to win small, but over a long period of time, coupons, if they come through, ensure big profits.

Beware of pitfalls

Bookmakers promote the combination betting strategy as a method of winning big with little money. This is true, but beware of addiction. Your combo has a higher chance of failing than the number of predictions you select. Know how to limit the number of combined bets you make.

Sport is not an exact science, so beware of the easy way out. Some may think that putting favourite teams together in one coupon would ensure victory.

Example of a combined bet

Team A wins against team B (odds 1.50)
Team C wins against team D (odds 1.75)
Draw between a team E. and a team F. (odd 3.20)

Here are three outcomes of three different matches that you have combined into one coupon. One technique for finding the odds of a combination is to multiply the odds values: 1.50 × 1.75 × 3.20 = 8.4. Suppose you bet KES100, you can expect a payout of KES840 (100 × 8.4).

However, the handset you have just made has four possibilities:

Team A & Team C win their matches and Team E and Team F draw theirs. The combination is a winner.
Team A & team C win, but teams E. and F do not draw in theirs. The combination is lost.
Team C wins, teams E and F draw, but team A loses. The bet is lost.
Team A wins, teams E and F draw, but team C loses. The bet is lost.
