A theme that divides the opinion of punters a lot is the multiple bets (or accumulated bets). In this type of bet, you place two or more matches on a single ticket, which logically ends up increasing the level of difficulty. On the other hand, the returns are much more advantageous compared to a simple bet. But then, is it worth it or not?

Generally beginning bettors tend to adopt bets of this type. In the temptation to win a large amount of money by betting a small amount, they end up choosing multiples. For those who still don't know how it works, let's give a small example, before continuing on to the article.
Single Bets:
- Watford vs Manchester City
- Quote for City's victory: 1.20
If we bet $100 on the victory of Guardiola's team, we will have a total return of $120. Many will think “it's too little profit”, even if City's chance to win this match is gigantic.
Multiple Bets:
- Watford vs Manchester City (Win City – 1.20)
- Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace (Win United – 1.50)
Odd 1.20 x Odd 1.50 = Odd 1.79
If we bet the same $100 on this multiple bet, we will have a total return of $179. It is noteworthy: for an accumulated bet to be considered a winner, all events must be successfully completed. In the example above, in addition to City, United also needs to win their game.

It was easy to understand, wasn't it?
The advantages are very visible, as we have chances to win much more money betting the same amount, or also, betting little money to have the same return as a simple bet. In the example, a single bet on City gives us a profit of $20 for every $100 wagered.
In the accumulated, to earn the same $20, it would be necessary to put only $26 ($ 26.00 x 1.79). Obviously we'd have to root for United's success, otherwise it wouldn't do any good.
This is exactly one of the disadvantages of this style of betting, as we usually get by the way because of the “fault” of one or two teams. And the bettor's first thought is: “I almost got it right”. In betting, it's almost the same thing as nothing, because you've had the same loss. In an accumulated bet of 10 games, hitting 9 or just 2 games is the same.
Furthermore, it becomes almost a Bingo. Many bettors do not make a detailed study of the possibilities of a bet being a winner, and only analyze the values of the quotes. Very low odds are often traps and do not represent the real chances of the event.
Thus, betting on odds of 1.05, 1.10, 1.15 does not give you security of profitable return. We are saying this, as it is the most common to happen in accumulated bets. Instead of betting $100 to win just $10 or $15 in profit, many bettors choose to put all these quotes on a single ticket to have a much better return.
Ambition or lack of patience are things that don't go together in betting. Seeking highly profitable returns or quickly are villains that only give bookmakers advantages. While multiple bets can shine the eyes, the gambler has much more to lose than to win.
The only case that really can be a great alternative, is if the player has a bonus to use, or risk a very small portion of your bankroll. Unfortunately, every day we witness very high values being lost, as they were placed in an accumulated bet that were quite “unlikely” not to happen. When analyzing the game causing the red on the ticket, the odd is 1.05. It may happen.
Every day there are bets of thousands of dollars won, being wagered "cents". It really happens, but for that, 99% of other bets got by the way. Who doesn't want to win a thousand dollars by betting only $10, for example? This is possible when tickets containing sometimes 8, 10, 12 games all hit the green.
That way, my punter friend, nothing prevents us from making a multiple bet, and for hours the returns are really magnificent and some win. However, value your money, your bankroll, your time. Seek to evolve and learn from betting, becoming profitable and consistent over the long term in other ways.
