Here at Parimatch, we offer all users the opportunity to build a bet that matches their own preferences. Often placed on football matches, our bet builder allows you to focus on whichever part of the action you want. From naming multiple goal scorers to predicting how many corners will be taken during the game, our extensive range of markets has got you covered.  

On this page, we will be taking a closer look at the bet builder options available to players, answering some common questions, and providing information regarding who bet builders may appeal to.   

How Does The Bet Builder Work?

A Bet Builder allows you to create a single bet from multiple selections, tailoring it to your preferences. You can place several bets within the same builder, customising it with various outcomes, such as match results, goal scorers, and corner kicks.  

What Does It Mean To Build A Bet?

To build a bet means you get to play the architect of your wager. You combine different bets on the same event into one bigger, personalised stake. All of the different outcomes are presented just like regular markets, with you picking combinations that align with your preferences.  

Is A Bet Builder A Single Bet?

It’s important to note that when using a bet builder, you’re placing a single bet. The odds of each bet are combined to create one wager with higher odds than all outcomes individually. For example, if you’re betting on the NBA, picking the total points scored and the winning team will have higher basketball odds than simply picking the winner alone.   

How Many Bets Can I Place In My Bet Builder?

Here at Parimatch, we offer a lot of flexibility with our bet builders, allowing you to select between 1 and 10 bets in one. These can be on similar markets or totally different ones – the choice is yours.  

The more selections that you add to your bet, the higher the football odds; however, the higher the risk. Bet builders allow you to adjust your wager to find a level of risk that you’re comfortable with.  

How Can I Use A Bet Builder For Football?

You can use a bet builder in football to make predictions on different aspects of the game. These can make a match even more entertaining to watch, as even something like a corner may make a difference to the overall outcome.  

Here are just a few things that you can add to a bet builder in football:   

  • Number of goals  
  • Winner of a match  
  • First goalscorer  
  • Player to score at any time  
  • Player to receive a yellow or red card  
  • Number of corners  
  • Handicap based on the final score  
  • Which half will have more goals  
  • and so much more!  

Are Bet Builders Only 90 Minutes?

Another thing to consider regarding a bet builder is that they only apply to 90 minutes, alongside any injury time that occurs at the start of the first or second half.   

If the bet is placed on a match that features extra time and/or penalties, anything that occurs after the second period of injury time will not count. Of course, there are a few markets that incorporate extra time and penalties, such as ‘To Progress’ or ‘To Lift the Trophy’, so be sure to check the terms associated with each selection before committing.  

Do You Have To Get Everything Right On A Bet Builder?

In a bet builder, your challenge is to predict various outcomes within one match accurately. Unlike traditional accumulators that spread across different games or events, everything in your bet hinges on the specifics of a single match.  

This means if even one selection in your builder goes wrong, the entire bet is marked as a loss. All selections of your bet must be successful in order for the corresponding potential winnings to be awarded!  

Is Bet Builder Worth It?

Whether a bet builder is worth it or not depends entirely on your betting preferences. For people who prefer low levels of risk, they may be better off placing single bets, as opposed to creating their own using multiple selections.  

Adversely, punters who have an abundance of knowledge surrounding a particular team or match up may prefer to build a bet that comes with higher football, basketball, or baseball odds.   

If you’re thinking about creating a bet with multiple selections, be sure to weigh up the pros and cons, while always gambling responsibly.  

How To Win Bet Builder Bets

Although there is never the guarantee of a bet winning, there are some things you can do to improve the chances of your bet builder being a success:  

  1. Analyse the match thoroughly, focusing on team form, player performance, and head-to-head statistics to inform your selections. 
  1. Consider picking selections that you can easily monitor while watching the game. This may allow you to find an optimal time to cash out your bet, should you wish to do so. 
  1. Leverage your knowledge of the sport by exploring niche markets that can be found within our exclusive bet builder feature. 
  1. Stay updated with pre-match news and last-minute developments that may influence your bet selections. This can include injuries, suspensions, or tactical changes.
  1. Manage your stake carefully and never bet more than you can afford to lose. Keep in mind that betting is solely a form of entertainment and here at Parimatch, we have a variety of safer gambling controls to always keep you in control. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Bet Builders

What Happens If A Player Gets Injured In A Bet Builder?
