What Is A Bet Builder?

Simply put, bet builders allow users to place multiple bets on the same match and get a price for them all.

Previously, it was not possible to bet on the same match for different markets other than the standard result and goals type markets. Now, with bet builders, There’s the opportunity to bet on absolutely everything in a football match. These do vary vastly by betting company.

Here are the common markets found on football bet builders.

• Match result
• Half betting – 1st half or 2nd half result
• Goals – totals, under/over, team goals, half goals
• Player goals – Score first, score last, score any time
• Player assists – First assist, anytime assist, last assist
• Corners – Match corners over/under & exact, team corners, half corners, corner match bet
• Throw-ins – First throw, last throw, total throws
• Shots – Total shots, on-target shots, player shots, player shots on target

As you can see, there is a lot to choose from. The more selections that are added, the higher the odds will be. Users can build multiple legs from the above markets with longer odds or keep it small and get lower odds.

Some apps now offer these types of bets outside football, such as basketball and tennis, but football remains the most popular.

When Should You Use A Bet Builder

Bet builders are perfect for using when a bookmaker isn’t already offering the market within their odds. If a bet is desired to be placed, all that is required is to request it or create it from the available builder.

They are often riskier bets, so studying things like form, head-to-head, and player information is essential before placing bets. This type of research provides a more informed betting choice and can increase the chances of winning. It is sound advice that is worthwhile taking on board.

Using a bet builder can boost the odds and should always be considered if there’s good value in playing multiple markets that could well pay off.
