Placing Single, Multiple & System Bets – CX Bets

On CX Bets, you can place different types of bets depending on how many selections you want to combine and how much risk you are comfortable with. This guide explains: Single bets, Multiple (Accumulator) bets and System bets, with simple examples and key things to watch out for.

1. Overview of Bet Types

Single bet – One selection on one event. Easiest to understand.
Multiple / Accumulator bet – Two or more selections combined into one bet. All (or most) must win for the bet to pay out.
System bet – A group of smaller combinations built from several selections. You can still get a payout even if not every selection wins.

You create all of these using the bet slip on CX Bets. The available options and labels may vary slightly depending on your configuration.

2. Single Bets

A Single bet is the simplest and most common type of sports bet. You pick one outcome on one event and place a stake on it.

2.1 How a Single Bet Works

1 selection (e.g. Team A to win).
You choose your stake (the amount you risk).
If your selection wins, you receive stake × odds as your total return.
If it loses, you lose your stake.

2.2 Example

Market: Match Winner – Team A vs Team B
Your bet: Team A to win at odds of 2.20 (decimal)
Stake: 100
If Team A wins → Return = 100 × 2.20 = 220 (profit 120)
If Team A does not win → You lose your 100 stake

2.3 When to Use Single Bets

When you want a simple, lower-risk bet.
When you strongly fancy one particular selection.
When you are new to betting and learning how odds and returns work.

3. Multiple / Accumulator Bets

A Multiple (also called an Accumulator, “acca” or combo) combines two or more selections into a single bet. All selections must usually win for the accumulator to be successful.

3.1 How a Multiple Bet Works

You pick 2+ selections on different events (for example: 3 football matches).
The odds are multiplied together to create the combined odds.
You place one stake on the combined bet.
If every selection wins → The accumulator wins.
If any selection loses → The entire accumulator usually loses.

3.2 Example (3-Fold Accumulator)

Selection 1: Team A to win at 2.00
Selection 2: Team C to win at 1.80
Selection 3: Team E to win at 2.50

Combined decimal odds:

2.00 × 1.80 × 2.50 = 9.00

If you stake 100 on this 3-fold:

If all 3 teams win → Return = 100 × 9.00 = 900 (profit 800)
If any team fails to win → Return = 0 (you lose your stake)

3.3 Advantages & Risks of Multiples

Pros:

Higher potential returns from relatively small stakes.
Can make following multiple games more exciting.

Cons:

Higher risk – one loss usually kills the whole bet.
Longer combinations (5-fold, 6-fold, etc.) can be very hard to land.

3.4 Common Multiple Types

Double – 2 selections combined.
Treble – 3 selections combined.
4-fold – 4 selections combined.
5-fold, 6-fold, etc. – more selections, higher risk and higher potential payout.

4. System Bets

A System bet is built from multiple selections, but instead of forming just one accumulator, it creates several smaller combinations (for example doubles and trebles). This means:

You can still get a return even if not every selection wins.
Your total stake is split across many smaller bets.

The exact names (e.g. Trixie, Yankee) depend on how many selections and how many-way combinations are included.
