Bet Builder Guide: Create Winning Bets with Ease
Written by James Meadowcroft
Bet Builder is an exciting feature offered by some of the best betting sites, allowing users to customise bets rather than accepting standard offerings from bookmakers. It's become increasingly popular among football punters and other sports bettors, and despite feeling new, Bet Builders have actually been around for longer than you might think under alternative names like Request A Bet or Build Your Own Bet.
A Bet Builder allows betting sites to offer users the flexibility of creating their own personalised bets. It operates similarly to accumulator betting, but applies to a single match rather than multiple events. Modern technology now enables real-time odds calculation for these combined selections.
Creating a Bet Builder involves selecting a regulated betting site, navigating to the Bet Builder section, making selections (typically up to six), entering a stake and reviewing the potential winnings before confirming.
Football dominates the sports available for Bet Builder, though basketball, tennis, NFL, rugby and horse racing are steadily expanding their offerings. Most sites allow up to six combined selections.
If one selection in a Bet Builder becomes void for any reason, the entire bet is made void regardless of the outcome of the other selections. Cash-out is permitted on most platforms, reducing risk while limiting potential winnings.
