Types of Sports Bets on OlyBet
Whether you're placing a pre-match or live (in-play) bet, OlyBet offers five main bet types. You can also combine pre-match and live events on a single ticket.
1. Single Bet
A Single Bet is a wager on the outcome of one sporting event.
Possible Outcomes:
-
Win: Your prediction is correct, and you receive your winnings.
-
Loss: Your prediction is incorrect.
-
Refund: If the event is canceled and not resumed within 24 hours, your stake is returned.
Example:
-
Event: Real Madrid vs Barcelona
-
Market: Barcelona to win (W2)
-
Stake: €5
-
Odds: 2.45
-
Payout if won: €5 × 2.45 = €12.25
How to Place a Single Bet:
-
Log into your OlyBet profile.
-
Go to the "Sports" or "LIVE" section.
-
Choose your preferred category (e.g., football, basketball, politics).
-
Select an event and market.
-
Enter your stake.
-
Click "Place Bets".
2. Multi Bet (Accumulator)
A Multi Bet combines two or more events into one bet. All selections must win for your bet to be successful.
Key Points:
-
Minimum: 2 selections
-
If one selection loses, the whole bet loses.
-
If one event is canceled, it's counted with odds of 1, and the total odds are recalculated.
Example:
-
Real Madrid wins – Odds: 2.70
-
Juventus wins – Odds: 1.40
-
Spartak vs Lokomotiv Draw – Odds: 2.85
-
Total Odds: 2.70 × 1.40 × 2.85 = 10.77
-
Stake: €5
-
Payout if won: €53.85
How to Place a Multi Bet:
Follow the same steps as placing a single bet, but select multiple events.
3. System Bet
A System Bet consists of multiple combinations of accumulators. You don’t need to win all selections to receive a payout.
How It Works:
A system like "3 out of 4" means:
-
You picked 4 events.
-
The system generates all possible 3-event combinations.
-
As long as 3 out of 4 predictions are correct, you receive a payout.
Combinations Table (Examples):
System Bet Type | Number of Combos |
---|---|
2 of 3 | 3 |
3 of 4 | 4 |
4 of 5 | 5 |
5 of 8 | 56 |
Each combination receives an equal share of your total bet.
Example:
-
Events: 4 selections
-
System Bet: 3 out of 4
-
Total Bet: €5 → €1.25 per combo
-
Payout if all win: €64.74 (sum of all winning combinations)
How to Place a System Bet:
-
Log into OlyBet.
-
Go to "Sports" or "LIVE".
-
Select at least 3 events.
-
Choose "System" bet type.
-
Pick your desired format (e.g., 3/4, 4/5).
-
Enter the amount.
-
Place your bet.
4. Chain Bet
A Chain Bet is a sequence of single bets from unrelated events, where the order of settlement affects your winnings.
How It Works:
-
Start with an initial stake.
-
The stake is placed on the first event.
-
If it wins, part of the winnings goes to the next event.
-
This continues through the chain.
If the first event loses, the entire chain is voided.
Example:
-
3 single bets placed in sequence.
-
Initial stake: €10
-
If all win: payout = €82.20
-
If 1st loses: chain is lost
-
If 1st and 2nd win: chain continues with balance from winnings
How to Place a Chain Bet:
-
Log into OlyBet.
-
Choose 2 or more unrelated events.
-
Select "Chain" as the bet type.
-
Enter your stake.
-
Place the bet.
5. Bet Builder
Bet Builder lets you combine multiple markets from a single event into one customized bet.
Important:
-
Minimum: 2 markets
-
If one market loses, the entire bet loses.
Example:
Match: FC Red Bull Salzburg vs Dinamo Zagreb
-
Salzburg to win – 1.75
-
Both teams to score – 2.00
-
Mislav Oršić to score – 17.00
-
Total Odds: 59.5
-
Stake: €5
-
Payout if won: €297.50
How to Use Bet Builder:
-
Log into OlyBet.
-
Select a single event (e.g., Champions League).
-
Click "Bet Builder".
-
Add your selections (team win, scorers, goals, etc.).
-
Add each to the betslip.
-
Enter the stake.
-
Place your bet.
