I Love Multibets!

Last weekend I created two multibets using English Premier League matches.

Bet 1 – 8.31 odds

Manchester United to beat Middlesbrough
Arsenal to beat Portsmouth
Liverpool to beat Newcastle
Chelsea to beat Fulham
Aston Villa to beat Hull City

Bet 2 – 24.10 odds

Manchester United to beat Middlesbrough
Arsenal to beat Portsmouth
Liverpool to beat Newcastle
Chelsea to beat Fulham
Aston Villa to beat Hull City
Everton to beat Sunderland

I got every pick right, winning both multibets!. The win on the 24.10 odds bet is now my highest ever odds winning bet. Comparing a $6 multi bet vs 6 $1 individual bets, the multi vs. single bet payouts and profits for these games are as follows:
Multi – $144.60 payout and $138.60 profit
Single – $10.64 payout and $4.64 profit

Three cheers for multibets! To top it off, I had also placed individual bets on each of the above events, and I had placed a winning bet on Manchester City to beat Blackburn. Had I added this match to the multibets I would have won on 46.27 odds!

It’s funny how sometimes you can look at a weekend’s fixtures and feel strongly about a number of matches, while other weekends you don’t feel confident about making any bets. I can’t remember the last time I placed bets on seven out of ten premier league games. I’ve had a look at next weekend’s fixtures, and I will probably only make a couple of bets.

A good thing about multibets on fixtures that span a number of days is, if you’re sill on track to win halfway through the fixtures, you can hedge your bets before the final game(s) to lock in a guaranteed profit.
