SYSTEM BETS: MEANING, EXAMPLES & CALCULATION
As explained, a system bet is similar to a standard accumulator, but with one key difference: not all selections need to win for you to receive a return. Instead, the bet is structured to cover multiple combinations of your selections, so even if one or more lose, you can still profit from the successful combinations.
There are multiple calculations within system bets based on the number of selections in the particular system bet, as that brings in a different amount of bets due to the amount of selections, i.e. singles, doubles, trebles, accumulators.
The calculation itself is fairly simple, which is ‘the quantity of bets x the stake’.
As an example, if three selections are made and the system bet is placed with a £1 stake. The stake would be multiplied by 7, due to the 3 singles, the 3 doubles and 1 treble, of which each bet will have differing returns.
A system bet is similar to your standard accumulator bet, with one key differing factor. The difference between the two is that not all selections within the bet need to be correct for a return to be garnered, as the system matches up the different winning combinations across the allotted selection.
