What is a BetBuilder Bet?

A Bet Builder bet is a wager that bettors create themselves, adding selections from available markets on a specific event. Bet Builders generally require at least two selections, but can contain many more, as long as markets don’t contradict each other.

Bet Builder can be available on a range of sports. This feature is most commonly associated with football. However, many operators provide the Bet Builder function on basketball, baseball, rugby, ice hockey and more.

There are some similarities between a Bet Builder bet and an accumulator. Like an Acca, Bet Builders allow for different selections to be added to make one whole bet. However, accumulators require selections on different events, whereas a Bet Builder is made up of markets on the same event.

As with accumulators, the more selections you add to your Bet Builder bet, the higher the odds. This is because the difficulty of achieving a winning bet increases with each added selection.

There are many bookmakers who offer pre-built bets. Under the Bet Builder or Create-a-Bet tabs, you’ll find a range of pre-built wagers that the betting site has created, available for all users to bet on. Many operators also offer the Bet Builder bets created by other users, adding them to their site for other bettors to place wagers on.

Let’s look at an example of a Bet Builder bet. For our example, we’re going to use the English Premier League fixture between Newcastle United and Liverpool.

To create our Bet Builder bet, we’ll add the following selections to our betting slip:

Liverpool to Win
Both Teams To Score - Yes
Over 12 Corners
Hugo Ekitike to score first

The odds on each of our selections individually might not present much value, but if we add our selections together we see a huge increase in price. In the table below, we’ve detailed the individual odds, compared with the total odds in our Bet Builder.

Liverpool to Win	Both Teams To Score - Yes	Over 12 Corners	Hugo Ekitike to score first	Total Bet Builder odds
2.02	1.48	3.10	6.5	41.0

As you can see, the individual odds on our selections don’t offer great value. However, combining our selections as one whole bet sees a huge increase in odds, in turn increasing our potential winnings.

Bet Builder Pros and Cons

There are many benefits of using Bet Builder to create and place your bets. As we’ve seen, a Bet Builder bet can increase odds dramatically, compared to placing each selection as separate bets. This provides flexibility for your betting, as well as allowing you to bet on the markets you want.

There are aspects to consider, though. It can be very tempting to keep adding selections to your Bet Builder bet, especially as you see the odds increasing. It’s important to plan your betting and stick to the betting decisions you make before you place your bet.

Pluses

Ability to create your own bet.
Can hugely increase odds.
Available on a range of sports.
Greater flexibility in bets.

Minuses

Added selections come with greater risk.
Easy to add selections that greatly increase risk.

Conclusion

The option to create your own wager can be a fantastic way to bet on your favourite markets, combining them into one whole bet and increasing your potential winnings. This feature is available at a range of betting sites from all over the world, meaning it’s accessible to a huge range of bettors.

The Bet Builder function is most often used for football matches. However, many bookmakers allow their users to create their own bets on a range of sports and events, with basketball, baseball and ice hockey all being favourites amongst Bet Builder fans.

Bet Builder wagers can increase odds massively, in turn increasing your potential profit. However, it’s very tempting to keep adding selections as you see the odds increase, which can again in turn increase your chances of losing your bet.

As with all betting, make sure you conduct thorough research into the event you’re betting on, before you place your bet. With Bet Builder betting, it’s even more important you analyse every detail as you’re betting on more than one event occurring.

Plan your betting, keep a tight rein on your bankroll and never bet more than you can afford to lose. If you do this, then Bet Builder bets can be a great way to maximise your profits on the sports you want to bet on.
