Bet365 Bet Builder Review

Published on: 28/02/2018

As a regular bettor, I am very familiar with doubles, trebles and accumulators. Being able to combine different bets to create a multiple can be great fun and add further excitement to a series of events. They can also produce profit opportunities by combing the odds into one price. It is no wonder that these bet types have become popular amongst many casual punters.

As a company that is at the forefront of online wagering, bet365 are never short of new initiatives when it comes to sports betting, their Bet Builder facility being no exception. The basic concept of the feature is to allow punters to combine multiple bets from one football match onto a single bet slip. Odds are then calculated as if the selections were being backed as a single bet.

I tried this function out recently and found that it does create betting opportunities that were previously unavailable. Historically, multiple bets have been mutually independent, meaning that it was not possible to combine bets from the same event. Originally, this was to stop bettors betting on conflicting scenarios such as backing every competitor in a race. However, there are certain markets that do not conflict and, in the modern sports betting world, it makes sense to open these up to customers.

As a result of this feature, I can now select bets from the most popular markets within a soccer match and combine them into a single bet. For instance, I can predict the match result, how many goals will be scored and which player will score first. Once I have added all three predictions to the bet slip, the total odds are calculated. Other markets that are available include (subject to fixture) Both Teams to Score, Anytime Goal Scorer, Player to Score Two/Three or More Goals, Total Corners, Total Cards and Player to be Booked.

To access this facility, I selected my preferred match and then clicked on the Bet Builder option in the header. From here, I clicked Add Selection and selected my first market. After making my pick, I continued the process until I was happy with my final choice. I then placed the bet in the normal way. I was able to add up to six selections to my bet slip.

Overall, Bet Builder is a pretty cool feature that makes betting a single event even more fun. It will probably appeal more to casual punters who enjoy a bet on the football at the weekend rather than experienced punters who may want to build their own strategy.

It should be noted that the cash-out facility is only available prior to the start of the event. After that, it is no longer possible to cash-out all or any part of the wager. In addition, some other offers may not be compatible with the Bet Builder bet, so punters should refer to bet365 for full Terms and Conditions before wagering (please see below).
