Bet Types
What is Bet Types
Definition: Bet Types describe how a wager is structured and how selections are combined.
- Single (Straight Bet) - a bet on one selection in one market. If that selection wins, the bet wins; if it loses, the bet loses. Singles are the simplest bet type and make it easy to control risk and expected payout.
- Accumulator (Acca) / Parlay - a bet that combines multiple selections into one ticket. All selections must win for the bet to pay out. Accumulators typically offer higher potential returns than singles because the odds multiply, but they also carry higher risk.
- System Bet - a combination bet built from multiple selections, where you place several smaller accumulators automatically. Not all selections must win for the ticket to return something (depending on the system). Examples include Trixie, Yankee, Lucky 15, or “2/3”, “3/4” systems. System bets increase coverage but also increase total stake.
