krikey Multi Bet — Place Bets on Multiple Matches at Once for a Chance at Bigger Returns
When you go beyond a single bet and combine three or more selections together, the odds multiply — that is the main appeal of a multi bet. On this page, find out how it works, how to read odds, and how to play while keeping your budget in check.
What a Multi Bet Actually Is and How It Works
A multi bet is a bet where you add the outcomes of two or more events to a single bet slip at the same time. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, resulting in much higher combined odds and a higher potential return.
However, alongside the benefit, the risk increases equally — if any one of the selections you have added turns out to be wrong, the entire bet is lost. For this reason, a multi bet should be seen as a form of entertainment, not a reliable way to make a profit.
When doing cricket betting at krikey, you can place a BPL match, a T20 World Cup game, and another international match all together in a multi bet. Because the odds multiply, the total return is much higher than placing each bet separately.
In a multi bet, having 2 selections is commonly called a "Double", 3 selections a "Treble", and four or more an "Accumulator" or "Acca" for short. All these options are easily available on the krikey platform bet slip.
Three Odds Formats — Three Ways to Show the Same Price
Odds on a betting site can appear in three different formats: decimal, fractional, and American. Although they look different, they all express the same price. krikey generally uses decimal format, but understanding all three lets you bet comfortably on any platform.
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return on stake = stake × odds |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If Team A wins, total return on a ৳500 stake is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
| Format | Odds | Return |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Total return on a ৳500 stake is ৳900 (৳400 profit) |
| Fractional | 4/5 | |
| American | -125 |
American minus odds (-125) means you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit.
In a multi bet, these odds are multiplied together. So if you can read each selection's odds, you can get an idea of the total return in advance.
Calculating a Multi Bet — A Practical Example
The easiest way to understand how odds multiply in a multi bet is with an example. Say you pick three selections from three separate matches.
| Match | Selection | Decimal Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Match 1 | Team A to Win | 1.40 |
| Match 2 | Team B to Win | 1.50 |
| Match 3 | Team A to Win | 1.90 |
Total Odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approx.)
Total return on a ৳100 stake is ৳399 — but only if all three selections are all correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This example makes it clear that losing just one selection in a multi bet ends the whole bet. So before adding more selections, consider the risk. Following responsible gaming guidelines helps you stay in control of your budget.
Practical Tips That Help With Multi Betting
Start With Fewer Selections
Begin with 2–3 selections to get used to how multi bets work. Adding more selections increases the odds, but also lowers the chance that all of them will be correct.
Avoid Matches From the Same Competition
Results of two matches in the same tournament are often connected. For example, a loss in one match can change how a team approaches the next.
Pick Selections With Reasonable Odds
Adding several very low-odds selections (such as 1.05–1.15) still leaves the total odds very low. Moderate odds (1.40–2.00) generally give a better balance.
Check Form and Statistics
Before placing a bet, look at the team's recent performance, venue, weather, and squad. This makes your bet more informed.
Be Careful With Live Multi Bets
Odds move quickly during a match. Live multi bets are appealing, but the pressure of making fast decisions increases the chance of making a mistake.
Keep a Record of Your Bet Slips
Keeping a record of each multi bet lets you understand your own patterns — you can identify which types of selections you tend to get wrong.
Bankroll Management — Play Within Your Budget
Because the risk of losing is higher with multi bets, bankroll management is especially important. Keeping a few rules in mind helps you stay in control of your budget and makes your experience last longer.
Set a Weekly or Monthly Budget
Decide in advance how much you are comfortable losing. Once you reach that limit, stop betting.
Do Not Put More Than 5–10% of Your Total Budget on Any Single Multi Bet
Following this rule means losing one bet does not wipe out your entire budget, and you still have the chance to place future bets.
Do Not Place Bigger Bets to Chase Losses
Trying to recover losses by placing ever larger bets after a loss is the most dangerous habit. Treat each bet independently.
Set Some Winnings Aside After a Win
After a good win, put a portion of that money aside rather than playing it all back. Keep betting as entertainment, not as a source of income.
If you are on the krikey VIP programme at krikey, you can receive cashback on your weekly net losses — this gives a small buffer for your budget.
Common Mistakes Most Players Make in Multi Betting
Adding Too Many Selections
A multi bet with 10–12 selections looks like it has huge odds, but the chance of all of them being correct is very low. It is essentially like a lottery — fine for fun, but not as a regular strategy.
Placing Bigger Bets After a Loss
After losing several multi bets in a row, the temptation to place a bigger bet to recover is strong. This is the leading cause of the biggest bankroll losses.
Combining Linked Events
For example, placing "Win" and "150+ Runs" for the same team in the same match on the same bet may look like two separate events, but they are dependent on each other. Many platforms do not allow this directly.
Betting Without Understanding the Odds
Whether odds are shown as decimal, fractional, or American, it is important to understand the total return and profit separately. Many people assume decimal 2.50 means ৳250 profit, which is not correct.
Betting on Emotion Without Information
Placing bets on your favourite team out of unreasonable confidence often leads to losses. Before betting, check the team's form, venue, and latest performance.
Betting Without Reading the Terms
If any bonus or promotion is attached to a multi bet, read its terms carefully first. For full details, see krikey's terms and conditions page.
