You could use the full \u00a330 to back a single horse in one of the races. If the horse wins and the odds were favourable, your payout is likely to be big \u2013 but if the horse loses, you\u2019ll lose your full \u00a330 in one go.<\/p>\n<p>Instead you might choose to place three separate bets of \u00a310 each on which horse will win each of three races. You can think of this as a combination bet that consists of three singles. If any one of the horses you\u2019ve backed wins at odds higher than 3\/1, you\u2019ll make a profit.<\/p>\n<p>Of course if two or even all three of your selections win, the payout will be much greater.<\/p>\n<p>You could also choose to split your \u00a330 into a \u00a35 bet on the winner of each of the six races. If just one of your selections wins at odds of 6\/1, you\u2019ll break even \u2013 and if the odds are higher or more than one of your selections wins, you\u2019ll make a profit.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, combination bets don\u2019t consist just of singles. Instead they combine two or more types of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/how-to-bet\/multiple-betting\">multiple bets<\/a>, or a multiple bet plus a number of singles. This increases the number of ways you can win.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"pagesection-div\">\r\n        <div class=\"notice notice-brown has-icon-info\">\r\n            <h2 class=\"heading-block\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combination-versus-multiple-bets-%E2%80%93-whats-the-difference\"><\/span>Combination versus multiple bets \u2013 what\u2019s the difference?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n            <div class=\"content\" style=\"flex:0 0 100%\">\r\n                <p>In a multiple bet, you place just one stake. If your first selection wins, that stake and your winnings are used to back the second selection, and so on. If any of the selections you\u2019ve backed loses, the multiple bet as a whole loses.<\/p>\n<p>In a combination bet, you place a separate stake on each selection.<\/p>\n<p>The combination bet may still be profitable even if one of the selections you\u2019ve backed loses. Some of the bets within a combination bet typically take the form of multiple bets, such as doubles, trebles or accumulators.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n<!--            <p><strong>--><!--<\/strong><\/p>-->\r\n<!--            <ul class=\"list-dots-lg\">-->\r\n<!--                --><!--                        <li>--><!--<\/li>-->\r\n<!--                        --><!--            <\/ul>-->\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros-and-cons-of-combination-bets\"><\/span>Pros and cons of combination bets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Combination bets cover a number of possible outcomes, enabling you to hedge your bets \u2013 reducing the amount you stand to lose if you\u2019re unlucky and making it more likely that you\u2019ll earn an overall profit from your sports betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trade-off is that because you\u2019ve divided your bankroll over a greater number of bets, the potential payout will be smaller than if you\u2019d risked a greater amount on a single bet.
