What Is A Multileg Bet?

Multileg bets are wagers containing multiple selections—two or more—in the same ticket.

Since such wagers deal with several selections, the odds of all the picks are multiplied, giving bettors a boosted payout.

For example, let’s say you want to bet on two spreads, each priced at standard odds (-110).

If you placed both picks in a multileg bet, the odds would total +264. Risking $100 on this bet would earn you a profit of $264 if both teams covered the spread.

However, if you placed both bets as single wagers and risked $100 on each, you would end up winning a total of $181.82.

This is significantly less than the $264 profit from the multileg bet, and this doesn’t even account for the extra $100 that you risked with the two single wagers.

That being said, multileg bets are high-risk, high-reward ventures. For you to win your multileg bet, all your selections must be accurate.

Just one inaccurate selection and the entire bet will be graded as a loss.

So it’s quite easy to lose an 8-game multileg bet because of a single, unnecessary pick.

Multileg Bets

To build a same-game multileg bet, all your selections need to be drawn from a single game.

For example, you can combine a moneyline bet with a game totals wager.

Underdog Fantasy isn’t a sportsbook, so your same-game multileg bet options are severely limited.

However, you can technically create a same-game multileg bet by picking players who are playing in the same game.

For example, if Kansas City Chiefs are playing against Cleveland Browns.

You can create an NFL same-game multileg bet that contains players from one or both teams, like the one below:

• Travis Kelce Higher 89.5 Receiving Yards
• Patrick Mahomes Higher 290.5 Passing Yards
• Baker Mayfield Higher 266.5 Passing Yards

Player Multileg Bets

A player bet is a multibet that exclusively focuses on player props.

Though you can’t place other types of bets on Underdog Fantasy, users who are into props will be pleased by this alternative.

Most of the individual selections will deal with common player-focused stats like passing yards, receiving yards, rushing yards, receptions, goals, shots on goals, etc.

When creating a player multileg bet on the site, you’ll need to choose a minimum of two-player props, while your multileg bet is capped at five picks.

Here’s a perfect example of a player multileg bet you can build on Underdog Fantasy:

• Tom Brady Higher 266.5 Passing Yards
• Karim Benzema Higher 2.5 Shots
• Cooper Kupp Lower 7.5 Receptions
• Luka Doncic Higher 31.5 Points
• Travis Kelce Higher 89.5 Receiving Yards

Since this is a pick 5 (a 5-leg bet), if all your predictions are accurate, you’ll earn a 20x payout.

So if you risk $50, you’ll win $950, and your total payout will be $1,000.

Moneyline Multileg Bet

In a moneyline multileg bet, all the selected teams should win their respective games outright.

This is a great option if you’re looking to pool together a couple of lowly-priced favorites.

Unfortunately, you can’t build this type of multileg bet on Underdog Fantasy.

Point Spread Multileg Bet

Point spread bets purely focus on the spread.

In such a bet, each of your picks simply needs to cover the spread.

Favorites need to beat the handicap, while underdogs have the cushion of losing, but their margin of defeat shouldn’t be greater than the spread.

Again, this type of multileg bet isn’t available on Underdog Fantasy.

Higher/Lower Multileg Bet

A higher/lower bets deal with picks that focus on game totals.

Any bet on the higher needs to surpass the bookies’ line, while in the case of a lower, the combined total points need to be less than the set line.

On Underdog Fantasy, you can’t place a higher/lower multileg bet.

Multileg Bets Strategy

If you want to reap from multileg bets, you need to be cunning in your approach.

The easiest and best way to do so is by using the right prop strategies.

To help all types of bettors, we’ve discussed a few key strategies down below:

Opt For Fewer Selections

When you stuff your multileg bets with too many needless picks, you end up increasing your risk.

Remember, one of those additional selections could end up being the cause of your bet’s downfall.

The best thing to do is play it safe by minimizing your selections whenever possible.

Multileg bets with around 2-4 picks aren’t just safe enough, but they also have a higher chance of winning when compared to bets with 6+ selections.

Build Correlated Bets

If you want to boost the odds of your bet without sacrificing too much risk, you can do so by creating correlated wagers.

Essentially, in a such wager, the result of one selection is closely tied to that of another selection.

So if one of the picks turns out to be accurate, it’s very likely that the other will also end up being accurate.

For example, let’s say you want to back Team A in a soccer match. Many of the team’s forwards are out, but you still expect the team to win the game.

The most likely outcome is that Team A will win the game, but it will end up being a low-scoring victory.

In such a scenario, you can build the following 2-leg bet:

• Team A Moneyline
• Lower 2.5 goals

If the team wins 2-0, you’ll end up profiting from this multileg bet.

Hedge & Cash-Out Your Bets Whenever Possible

When your bet is down to the last pick, you can hedge it by backing a contrary selection instead of being greedy.

This will create a win-win scenario where you’re guaranteed a profit regardless of the result of that last game.

Most fantasy operators also offer cash outs nowadays. If you’re offered a substantial amount, consider cashing out to secure a profit instead of letting the bet ride.
