What Is a Combo Bet?

A combo bet is a type of bet that combines multiple bets as one. It is also known as a parlay, accumulator, or multi bet. A combo bet can have two or more selections from different events or markets, and the final odds are calculated by multiplying the individual odds of each selection. To win a combo bet, all the selections must be correct. If any of the selections is wrong, the entire bet loses.

How to Place a Combo Bet

To place a combo bet, you need to follow these steps:

• Choose the events or markets that you want to bet on. You can select from various sports and esports, such as football, basketball, tennis, CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends, etc.
• Choose the selections that you want to combine. You can select from various types of bets, such as moneyline, point spread, totals, props, futures, etc.
• Enter the stake that you want to wager on the combo bet. The stake is the amount of money that you risk on the bet.
• Check the potential payout and the final odds of the combo bet. The potential payout is the amount of money that you can win if the bet is successful. The final odds are the product of the individual odds of each selection.
• Confirm and place the combo bet.
