No, we can't predict the future and the less we expect the more it can happen. I've also seen a bettor like this who still manages to win, so why not try our luck as well? But, the more we can increase our chance to win, if we will pick only matches that we have a knowledge about.

Playing a gambling is not only about winning but it's also about having fun. You already said that having a playstyle like this will make our capital long lasting, so this can already satisfy our gambling needs. Sure we have a higher chance to win on fewer matches but our winnings there are also small. After all, losing is still there and if we do, we have no more funds anymore to play and enjoy.

I'm not a big time gambler but I do gamble with around $150-$300 let's say for a month? and sometimes when I lose and I have extra money left, I do this. But not with a 25 matchups lol the chance is really low but I do place bet on lower odds live games such as 1.30 and below and around 5-10 matches parlay and out of 10 times I do this I only won once, so yes I do this especially when my bankroll is less than $3 and trying to hit a good jackpot in sports betting.

You do exactly what my friend does sometimes he tries by choosing lots of matches to make his multibet and only betting with small money and sometimes he invites me to make the same bet so that we can both get big profit if we win and only bet with money small but the profit is very big and I sometimes always imagine that if I really win then I will get profit many times over. I admit that sometimes my friend is smart in analyzing matches so I don't hesitate to place the same bet as him because after all we have to try and try. But I was only used small money so it wasn't a big problems for our finances but unfortunately none of the bets worked lol

Many people say that if we use many betting option and combine them together, our chances of winning are very small. There will always be a team that loses or experience surprises, making our bets fail to win, but if you aim to make a profit, it's better to avoid this option because the winning percentage is very small, but if you just try, just try your luck it doesn't matter, the most important thing is don't take the risk of betting large amounts.

Well yes with parlay betting or with bet builders they want to call. Not exactly the same but you are simply betting a small amount against high odds, so I guess it has the same idea. Problem is the difficulty of winning which is sometimes a punch to the moon. Rewards are indeed high in this kind of betting strategy but the win-loss ratio is not really something which could impress anyone or for them to consider the same strategy. What I do is to create a bit high but realistic odds, place a small bet, and let things be. I experienced winning for some instances and those were really x20 and up multipliers of what I bet.

What worries other is the idea of efficiency. Perhaps you could lose an instant $500 with a fair odd single bet. And with multiplier or high odd bets, you would lose it in 50 games or bets. Sometimes it would be viewed the same but on my end, 50 times is still 50 chances of winning, despite of high possibility to lose, over a single bet. Eitherway you won't have assurance of winning. Losing on any gambling strategy is a normal thing in the first place, and we just have our own ways to make the most of every amount in our gambling bankroll.

knock it off mate! Because the person was lucky to have won such long multiple bets doesn't in anyway warrant any calling him god, I have seen people take such risk of a long bet slip of up to 35 games and still won it, they were just lucky. Tell them to redo it again and see if it's going to be a win again for them, it definitely won't be, that's why it's inappropriate to use the word god on them just because of a bet win irrespective of the number of games.

That of x5 to x10 odds is quite cool to go with as the chances of winning is multiple times higher than predicting x25 games above under the logic of not losing much with the use of 5cents. A gambler should go for a strategy that gives him high chances of winning instead of one that limits his chance of winning.

I have already considered it since I have done it before. The minimum amount to risk is very affordable. If we get lucky here, we can make a significant amount of money. So, I can say that it's really more interesting compared to betting on a lottery where the result is instant. Here, with the number of bets included in your parlay, it might take the whole day to wait for the final result. But as you get closer to winning your tickets, you'll feel the real thrill in gambling because you are hoping to cash out a huge prize.

With a parlay, analyzing is still important. You don't just choose hoping you'll get lucky. That's not the essence here. We are betting on sports because we like to attract luck to our carefully analyzed bets.

Because of how low the chances of winning such a bets are, even anything above 1$ on such multi bets is a bit much. You would have to make thousands of such bets to realistically win even one if the odds are 1 mil. That doesn't also mean the chances are 1 in a mil. They are actually 0.33... to the power of 25 for a 25 leg multi bet with soccer matches because they can have three outcomes. So that's why I always go for this type of bet with the minimum bet possible. I think sports books alsk have some kind of max win too so there's no point putting in a stake that's too high.

Multibet with so many events is not much different from the lottery where you have to match several numbers. When the game is all about your luck, you should try to calculate the probability at which you have a better chance of winning, but if in both cases the chances of winning are so insignificant, that they leave you almost no hope of winning, then it makes no difference what you play, in any case, almost everything luck will decide, not you.

Multibet, in my understanding, gives more chances to win than the lottery, but I’m not talking about multibet in which there are several dozen events.

Making big multibets with loads of matches seems exciting especially with the potential for massive payouts. Just imagine combining 25 matches with decent odds and the multiplier skyrockets. But let's be real, predicting the outcomes for all those matches is like rolling the dice. It's more luck than strategy. Sure, you can throw in just 5 cents but don't forget the thrill comes with a big risk of losing it all. It's a fun gamble but play it smart and keep it light

Placing multibet with a lot of matches can have a high payout, but it's also risky and hard to win. Like as what you have mentioned, there is no solid strategy for actually winning these bets, especially including the maximum number of matches. The odds of winning the bet decreases as the number of matches increases, which can lead to substantial loss if even a few of the matches do not go as predicted. Well, it depends on personal preferences, some might find it thrilling and worth a shot, while others may prefer different strategies. All in all, always be mindful of potential risks, set limits, stick to budget, and avoid impulsive decisions.

I did this before but in a different method. I am not the one picking but other gamblers and I am just tailing their long parlays.
It can be profitable if done right. Others have strategies like cashing out if they make a little profit. They don't need to end the whole parlay and if they see a chance of a "cashout" button available then they will take it.

Others like the risky method which is letting it end until the end but for me making a little bit of money out of 5 cents should be enough.
I only did it myself once in a tennis and table tennis game combined and when I saw an x50 multiplier win while the games were not over yet, I cashed it out without thinking twice.

So it's okay to do the early cash-out strategy as long as you can monitor it or you know the schedules. Or, just memorize the gaps in time because that is when the cash-out button opens up.
I liked it before but I stopped when I felt like I was losing more and forgetting that I had a parlay in my tickets.

Definitely considered but 25 matches is just too much if you ask me, imagine getting 24 correct prediction then your last pick fumbled, that's got to be a really sad day for you because ain't no way that you can accurately predict those wins anyway, it's definitely akin to lottery but much more intense and difficult because in lottery I think you only need 7 or 8 correctly ordered numbers in order to win unlike with this one where it can go much higher. Now that I think about it, I really want to see a person that's tried to do this and won because that's got to be one hell of a story that they can win this much amount and get a really good prediction streak.

Won't this thing also be susceptible to some form of rigging? You know kind of like when mafia dons try to influence a player or maybe even the organization to rig the game to their favor. Is game fixing still a big thing today? Haven't heard a lot of that for some time now.

I've had those moments before, and it was only a matter of time until I moved on because those lottery losses would slowly add up and could've been saved up to make a proper single bet instead of wasting hundreds of tickets with little to no chance of hitting.

I wouldn't discourage others from placing the kind of bets they prefer, it's just that parlays with several matches are always what bookies want most gamblers to bet on because they're the easiest bets to lose and it's the kind of bets that give them the most profit.

You are not the only one and i am doing that too, as the base bet doesn't cost much so it's like lottery to me.

But it being "hard" is quite an understatement, and in 25 games there most likely will be draw or 2 as well. And total odds in the end and money we would get tells us how excactly how hard that is.

Problem why we think it's only hard and not near impossible is because our brains aren't designed to comprehend large numbers, or tiny fragments of numbers. We can understand them in theory, but not really visualize them. This is why, when we hear facts like: We only need to double up a $5 bet 18 times to get a million dollars. 18 doesn't seem impossible either, because we don't really comprehend the entropy of it nor the probability, as we are dealing with such a large numbers.

Still, like you said, it's only 5 cents . But realistically, would you watch that trough or cash out in the middle somewhere?

I have done this multiple times but never came close to winning anything I even go out of my way to research some of the games even though I just randomly selected most of those games I have bet on. There is that small glimmer of hope that exists within us, urging us to do these crazy bets on the fly. Idk, maybe that picture of us having lots of money due to winning helps with that urge. But yeah, I do those, but never win anything from it unfortunately.

I do this every time. I believe that anything can happen and sometimes I just accumulate a lot of games with a small amount but hope to win big. Even though it is difficult to win such a bet, it is capable of changing my life if I ever get lucky. The motivation behind this is that if people can win a million dollars from gambling then I can and if I must win a million dollars then I must make predictions that amount to a million dollars.

Another reason why I combine multiple selections into a single wager is to limit my overall exposure to risk. For example, when I have a limited budget but want to bet on several events, I prefer placing a multibet instead of individual bets. This way, if one selection loses, the impact on my overall bankroll will be less severe than if I had placed separate bets.

Does Stake even allow 25 games multibet or maybe it just depends on the level of your account? It sounds fun doing on a slow day but that's still too many teams to pick from. Sometimes I do a similar lottery style but it's on bet builders. It's not that many choices but you're just betting on possible outcomes of 1 or 2 games.

Even though such bets seem normal and harmless, because you yourself are placing bets that are quite low, in fact doing this will give rise to unhealthy gambling behavior.

From what you are trying to convey and explain, for me multibet betting with a maximum of 25 match results is a very speculative form of gambling, which is not based on a solid strategy. And this is not much different from an impulsive gambling behavior which is far from a planned strategy and is based on a careful analysis and calculation. In addition, by combining a number of matches in one bet, this can increase the risk of experiencing a significant loss. Even though when we talk about opportunities, the odds seem profitable, but without facing the reality, in fact being able to predict the results of 25 matches accurately is not an easy thing for us to do. so in my opinion, this is not a recommended type of betting. and it would be better if we just adhered to responsible gambling practices, always considering the risks and potential wins wisely.

I have considered it.I am to tired to think about them though and since I also play on Stake what I do is to copy bets of these guys who go for crazy high odds above 1 million in odds,they are of course not playing sport bet rather they are playing the lottery.I like playing the lottery too and what I do is to play even lower than 5 cents,by playing with IDR as a currency you can bet as low as just below 2 cents per bet so why not copying a lot of such bets,sometime it may hit it right and it can be 20.000 dollars with that low bet so why not trying.I always do that when I am low on balance and wait until I get new crypto while I don't get bored by doing so.

I have bet but multibet never exceeds 25 matches so it will be difficult to win so if you say the lottery is YES but it is difficult to win even if it is a professional in gambling, sometimes they also don't want to take a bigger risk so multibet bets are less.

Try to imagine 25 matches with a bet of 5 cents who doesn't want to win in this lottery if you say so?
To be honest, I have tried several times to bet with a lot of multibet but none of them succeeded in losing over and over again.

Although there are not many losses but no longer betting like this is only done above the reasonable 5 multibet for me it is still difficult to do, because sometimes winning sometimes not.

I have placed so many such bets but all of them were pure losses. I never won even a single bet in that way. I think my luck is not in my favor when I do multibetting however it's a nice strategy I think. We don't lose a lot of money because $0.05 is not that much but surely the odds of winning such bets is very low.

I think in order to win such bets one should go with pretty low odds like 1.04 But still events with such low odds we still might end up losing. However, such kind of betting is a fun way to try our luck and who knows when our luck gets better we might end up winning one such bet.

I will surely keep betting in that way because it's a fun way and who knows if luck favors us then we might win a big lottery jackpot. Yeah it's just like a jackpot because winning that much is just a dream come true type of feeling.

I think the longest shot I ever put together was a 15 leg parlay that failed miserably lol.  Honestly I never do anymore than 3 legs in a parlay just too many ways to lose amd be annoyed lol.  Nothing worse then having a long legged parlay only to have one team screw it all up.

In my country I see a lot of people doing this, they analyze more than 17 games and then place the more than 17 games in a multibet bet and place between $1 and $5 and I myself have seen many people from my country win a lot of money. With this type of strategy, a few years ago I took a trip to another city and stayed at my relatives' house. One of my relatives makes sports bets and he only makes multi bets, so I asked him why he only made mutibet bets and he answered me as follows: because he wants to win a lot of money, he doesn't want to waste time spending hours analyzing a game and then place a bet and when the result of the bet comes out you win little money because you made a simple bet. He always told me that time was very valuable and that he didn't like wasting time on bets that didn't make money.

When I asked him why he didn't increase money on these simple bets so he could win a lot of money, he told me that he didn't have money to waste, that's why he preferred to put a little money on a multibet bet with a very large odds and win a lot of money that allowed him to buy a lot of things in the real world, that's what the guy did. The funny thing is that when I returned to my city I found out that many people in my country have been placing multibet bets with big odds and many people have managed to win a lot of money and they usually appear on TV in my country when they go to claim the lot of money they won, there was cases of people who made millions by betting little money. They are very good guys at sports betting

hahaha
I get your point but I don't think house edge can get above 100%
Like I said, there's no solid strategy and these bets are very hard to win. But at 5 cents a piece, it's a very cheap lottery ticket.
If we want to talk strategy, multi bets are simply the parlay strategy where the winnings are carried over to the next bet along with the previous stake. So the best strategy to win a parlay bet is of course to find the game with the lowest possible house edge. Moneypot.com had a 0.1% house edge but now that it closed I'm not sure if there's anything equivalent. Surely sports bets have a house edge above 1% that most provably fair games will have though. So the parlay strategy can also be replicated with dice. It just feels a little different on sports bets, so if we're talking a few cents a day, it's just whatever the one placing the bets prefers.

I'll be 100% honest, I haven't won even a single bet slip with 25 matches on it. Even in cases when I went in for bets that had odds under 1.2, there happened a few mishaps and I lost in at least a couple of my choises.
I wholly don't expect to win when I put 25 matches in a bet slip and that's why I only go in those with the minimum bet allowed, which is 5 cents.

On the other hand, if you want a reliable mutli-bet strategy, I've made a thread about how I tend to pick matches with the intention to win in multibets. I usually go  for a goal of a 10x multiplier with matches in those though or even just 5x. This can be fulfilled by 3 or up to 6 football matches usually and rarely more.

By doing this you're literally giving your money to the sportsbook because the margin taken by the casino is also multiplied. So for example if the edge taken by the house is 3% by bet, the odds of your final multi bet will have 109% house edge if my calculations are not wrong. That is to say your odds will be half of what they should be for a fair bet if I'm not mistaken. No one could expect to make some profits in such conditions except if he's really lucky.

Anyway, multiple bets have a general characteristics and that is the possibility of losing is high because of the different games that must be successful according to the option of your stake on them independently. Another characteristics is that it can be a money multiplier if you win it also because of the accumulation of those games. So basically, a gambler should know those before going for multiple bet, it characteristics are almost the same in all casino that allows it. Nothing is different with that of stake. However, I prefer single bet because it brings you nearer to winning your bet as soon as you win those few games on your bet, although it takes high staking power to be able to winning something reasonable.



I think after the calculation of the odds of the individual games together then you get the total odds together and from the odd you know how much you want to aim or target using your staking power. If you multiply the total odds and how much you want to stake then you arrive at potential winning amount. Example 1.74 x 25 = 43.5 odds x 5 cents.

I'm not sure if there are bookies out there that would accept a minimum bet of $0.05. On the bookie I'm using, if I recall correctly, the minimum was like $0.1 per bet, so that's what you need to risk every time you make a lottery-like parlay. Also, there are bookies that limit the total odds or bet combination, so you won't be able to make a lottery-like ticket if you are aiming for huge winnings.

The maximum combined odds I have tried was around x1000, so if I were to bet $0.1 to win, that is only $100, and that doesn't look like a lottery winning at all. I guess I'll try again. Great idea from OP; I hadn't realized it's possible to get huge odds with a minimal bet. My fear now is, will they pay me if I win a significant amount of money, like $100k, for example?

it's just as you said, $0.05 per ticket and you win $50,000 that sounds a lot like a lottery.

i have never tried this before but i might just try this to see how it will work. it there are just some experts who share their predictions then it will make it easier for us to reach 25 bets. it will be hard to win this. even with 5 multibets, you will need to be the luckiest still.

25 is indeed a long list for a multi-bet, but i guess, there are really sportsbettors who will have their patience to do such task. For them, it surely is not a task anymore but they are like working on it because of passion. I believe, I can only go up to 5 for multi-bet, and not using much money. Because I know, one losing bet and your money is gone. Also, I am careful in selecting the odds here, even if the odds is low but very high chance of happening, of course that's the best choice, right? Because your main target is to win your multi-bet.

I did it most of the time in the past but I did not chase for such huge multiplier/odds, maybe only few hundreds X only.
Having 25 selections for a multi-bet is just too much IMO, I myself will limit up to 10 selections only in a single parlay bet but I usually try to find odds which is above 2 for each selection.
Of course you can try to have that huge odds but I think it will take you too much time to find the 25 markets to choose.
Hopefully you can make it come true by winning such a huge odds although with just 5 cents bet.

I've been doing it from time to time. A $1 bet is already enough for me to add as many legs as I can to have a bigger payout. For me, it's more fun than just buying a lottery ticket since I love sports, and I can use a little bit of my analysis skills to create a parlay ticket. $1 a day, not bad at all, not too expensive, as I can easily let go of that loss.

Honestly, I have experienced that I only need 1 win to get a big parlay win, and it's really stressful, especially if you are watching the game. The best advice is just not to watch it at all because you'd really feel the pressure if you do, and you might be having a hard time moving on. This advice is only for emotional people like me.

It is very easy to calculate and this is the answer for those with the ambition to win in very big odds.
But it is impossible to win at very large odds by having multi bets with up to 25 betting options, I sure even professional doesn't have the ability to win like this.
Because being able to win multiple bets in just 5 to 7 matches is truly amazing.

Multi bets really gives satisfaction and also wins with bigger odd, of course whoever succeeds will definitely be very happy because multi bets is not an easy way of betting because just one mistake will cause everything to fall apart or it could be said that the bet is failure.
I often use multi bets in football to be able to produce an odd win that is worth the risk, but it is never more than 7 matches and the average is only 3 to 5 matches.
Odd doesn't need to chase too much from each bet because just getting @1.40 and above in 3 to 5 matches can give satisfying win.
Taking too big risk with multi bets in 25 matches is not the right decision in my opinion, it is possible to bet with small money but at any time it will always fail and there will only be losses, not wins.

25 is such a long shot. But with this, you will enjoy longer and still hope for 50k while wagering 5cents    Your $10 deposit will last for weeks.

However, you know you will lose eventually so why not just pick 5 matches that you are almost sure to be picking the right team? With just 5 multi bets, you will have a higher chance of winning. 3 will make it easier.

I have tried a couple of bets to maybe have that lucky bet. I have seen a couple of posts from before here in the forum that made his 0.5 mBTC to 8 BTC, that's a lot and that would change a man's life lol.

It's hard, even if you do the minimum or the "sure matches" in terms of odds, you still can't manage to get everything right. It's definitely hard but if it does, it's jackpot.

I remembered a thread that someone won a parlay bets with huge odds, it's crazy for someone can win with such huge odds, people might call him a God because he can predict everything corrects.

Personally I don't want to bet like that, x5 to x10 odds is enough for me, the risk is still acceptable and the return is quite big.

This is not bad idea if you are just seeking for a pure luck game using a game that can be done with analysis to increase you winning chance.

I’m not sure if you are experiencing this but I’m having rough time always whenever I’m browsing matches odds especially on live games since it frequently change odds that makes it so confusing to bet if you have multiple picks. There’s an easy way to this when you are using copy bets from user that picks high odds to save you time on picking.

But for me, I still choose lottery compared to sportsbet if I will just do a random bet since you can win more amount on lottery once you become lucky.

It is a fun strategy, lets you play and enjoy the game, and all with very minimal risk.
I play multi bets, but very rarely hit the maximum number of games allowed to keep my odds of winning within a reasonable ballpark.

Good luck mate, maybe someday, you do win the lottery.

I have never done such thing. Usually when comes to sport betting all I do is to bet in a single march in which I am interested in and put some moderate money at stake, to stay responsible with my budget. However, I won't deny that kind of bets which you just described indeed sound very fun and thrill inducing.
There is always a very small possibility you go all right with all those matches and end up login on your account to find with surprise and tou have managed to earn thousands of dollars out of a very small stake.  
I will probably try to do this with up to one dollar the next time I feel bored from rolling dices and there are not individual football matches which catch my attention.

Also, I am not sure whether you are willing to openly talk about it but, have you ever been able to win some money using this method for betting? If so what was your initial reaction? If not, what you ever met someone who indeed managed to get money this way?  

Have a good day and good luck.

I can't be the only one that does this 

When I am bored, I might seek out matches to make a multibet with the maximum amount of matches allowed.
So let's say at stake.com where you are allowed to make multibets with up to 25 match outcomes, you can pick up to 25 markets, even with live matches.

To give an example of why and how that can be interesting:
If you find 25 matches with odds 1.74, then that means your total multiplier would be 1.74^25 which would be above 1 mil. You can bet with as little as 5 cents and if you come true to all of your predictions earn more than $50k.

Of course there's no solid strategy behind actually winning such bets. It's super hard to win any of these bets especially if you put in the max amount of matches. But since it's something you can do with stale as low as 5 cents, not much harm is being done.

What do you think of such bets? Have you ever considered doing it?
