The name of this Bet says it all, but questions still arise time and time again. For newbies, the whole system of sports betting can be overwhelming, so we want to explain it to you. Basically - hence the name - you combine several bets into one betting slip. The individual odds are then multiplied together to give you the total odds. The advantage is obvious: You get a high odds relatively quickly and the potential winnings increase. The downside should also be clear, as the odds are gradually reduced. The frustrating thing about combination bets is the fact that only one game has to go wrong for the whole bet to be lost. There is virtually no point in having nine correct picks if the tenth is a bust. As the old saying goes: combinations are fun, singles make money.
