Bet Builder Bet365 - How does it work & what are the rules?

Bet365 was the first big Australian betting site to introduce the feature know known as the "Bet Builder".

The Bet365 Bet Builder can be used to combine a range of different bets from the same game, into a larger 'Same Game Multi' or 'Accumulator'

With the Bet365 Bet Builder, you can add up to 12 selections to the same bet. Your odds will automatically multiply each time you add a bet and the more selections that you make the more your odds will increase each time.

Other Australian betting sites may refer to their Bet Builders as Same Game Multis.

The Bet365 Bet Builder can be found at the top of the webpage or app screen when you select a sports match that has the Bet Builder feature.

To get started with building your bet on Bet365 you will need to select 'Add Selection'.

At the time of writing this article, Bet365 Australia offers their Bet Builder for the following sports:

• Soccer (all matches)
• Basketball (all matches)
• Tennis (all matches)
• AFL (all matches)

Before the Bet365 Bet Builder was introduced, you could only combine bets from different matches into a multi. That means that if you wanted to place a bet on the LA Lakers to Win, LeBron James to score 30+ points, and the Lakers to score over 110 points you would have to place 3 separate single bets.

Now, with the Bet365 Bet Builder, you can combine multiple bets from the same games, as well bets from other matches, into large multis that look exactly as you want them to

That's why other betting sites use the term 'Same Game Multi'

For example, I added the following selections to my Bet365 Bet Builder bet for an AFL match between Collingwood and Geelong.

• Geelong to win: Odds = 1.22
• Geelong to win the first quarter: Odds = 1.61
• Geelong to win by 40+ points: Odds = 3.10
• Geelong to score first with a Goal: Odds = 7.00

As you can see, the more selections that you add to your bet the more your odds multiply and the bigger your payout becomes.

When using the Bet365 Bet Builder, your odds multiply depending on your previous selections so that similar selections don't increase your odds as much as selections that are more different from each other.

For all Bet365 Same Game Multis, up to 12 selections can be added to your betslip.

The number of available markets for your Bet365 Bet Builder will depend on the sports and matches that you are betting on with football, tennis, and NBA matches having the biggest variety of available bets.

Also know that you can add up to four different Bet Builders to your bet slip which you can then combine (with other single bets if you wish) into one larger Bet Builder multi-bet - yep it's like Bet Builder inception!

All Bet Builders can only be used to combine pre-match odds because in Australia live betting must be done over the phone. That means that we don't get to use the in-play Bet Builder.

Also, note that if a bet is voided your entire Bet Builder will be voided and your bet stake will be returned. Cash-out is only available before matches start and the 'edit bet' feature is not available for bet builder bets.

Aussies love building multis and with the AFL Bet Builder on Bet365 you can create same game multis with up to 12 selections.

The AFL Bet Builder is Bet365's newest Bet Builder

All AFL matches can be used to create a bet builder and the selections you can choose from increase depending on how big the match is i.e. you can create a more diverse AFL Grand Final Bet Builder.

Markets you can choose from when building an AFL bet with Bet365 include:

• To Win
• Line
• Total
• First Goalscorer
• Margin (Bands)
• Double Result
• First Scoring Play
• Best on Ground

It's also good to know that if an event results in a dead-heat your return will be divided by the number of participants that tied. For example, if you are betting on which player has the Most Disposals and two players tie for Most Disposals you will get half of your winnings.

The Bet365 soccer Bet Builder was the first Bet Builder and the one that started it all.

The soccer Bet Builder is the most extensive Bet Builder on Bet365

You can use the Bet365 soccer Bet Builder for any soccer bet whether it's the A-League, EPL or a Turkish 2nd division women's pre-season match.

The bigger the game, the more options you'll have but in general the available markets for soccer Bet Builders include:

• Match Result (Full Time or Half Time)
• Both Teams to Score
• Number of Goals Scored
• Players to Score (Anytime, First, Last, 2 or More, 3 or More)
• Corners
• Cards (Total, Player Card or Red Card in Match)
• To Qualify or To Lift the Trophy

Remember that you can add multiple Bet Builders to your bet slip and then combine them all into one larger multi.

The Bet365 basketball Bet Builder works just like the other Bet Builders letting you combine up to 12 selections from a single game to get instant odds.

The Bet365 basketball Bet Builder can be used for the NBA, NBL & all other basketball matches on Bet365

The huge number of NBA betting markets on Bet365 means that the Bet365 NBA Bet Builder is almost definitely the best of its kind on the market.

The most common basketball Bet Builder selections you can choose are:

• To Win
• Game Line
• Game Totals
• Alternative Line
• Alternative Game Total
• Player Points

In other countries, the Bet365 basketball Bet Builder can also be used for certain in-play matches especially in-play NBA matches.

Given the sheer volume of professional tennis matches that take place around the world every year, tennis is one of the biggest sports for betting online.

Bet365 is one of the best tennis betting sites in Australia
