What is a Bet builder?
- Bet builders are tools allowing punters to create their own wagers.
- Sports fans can use it to combine various different markets in a single game that they were not able to do in case of usual multiple bets, like market in football, “Both Team to Score” and the market “Total Goals 2.5” cannot usually be combined on a standard multiple bet.
- This is where using a bet builder comes in. Users go from the relative restrictions of the standard markets to thousands of combinations.
- Simply select the fixture you wish to bet on and if the bet builder is available, the icon will appear on the market tab. A special pop-up comes up saying, “Build Bet”. Click it, and you can start creating your own bet.
- For example. You want to tie Liverpool to win, over 3.5 goals and Virgil van Dijk to score? The BB can give you odds for that!
Why Should I Place a BB?
- Flexibility is the number one benefit of using a bet builder. It is a way of tailoring your bet to exactly what you want, and can be a means to find value when other betting tips are not particularly appealing for a given sporting event.
- While it is difficult to compare odds with bet builders, the pay-off is customization to your bet in a way that was not previously available.
- Whether the result of a string of hunches or the output of a complicated betting formula, bet builders give bettors the chance to put together exactly the bet they want. You might be surprised by the odds you can get on a four or five-leg bet builder.
- Bookies have provided similar features for a long time, allowing bettors to request bets. Bet builders come to make it easier.
Sports available on BB
- BB are available for a range of sports. Naturally, football is the most popular, but punters can also experiment with BB on basketball, American football, ice hockey and baseball, etc. The full list of sports can be found in the “Gaming Rules” section of the website.
- On Pigabet, just keep your eyes peeled for the bet builder tab on the page of any game/match to show if the bet builder is available.
How do you win a bet builder?
- Bettors win a bet builder by winning each of the individual bets they selected.
- For example. All must be winners for the bet builder to cash – so if you bet Mason Mount to score, Man Utd to win and over 2.5 total goals, a 2-0 win with Mount scoring wouldn’t be a winner, but a 2-1 win with Mount scoring would be.
Does a bet builder count as a single bet?
- Yes, bet builders are a single bet. It is not possible to combine multiple bet builder wagers.
- For instance, a bet builder on Chelsea versus Liverpool could not be made into a double with a bet builder from Tottenham versus Arsenal.
Do bet builders include extra time?
- Most football bets based on the 90 minutes.
- Some markets, like “Win the Trophy” or wagering on extra time to take place, are an exception to this rule, but bet builder wagers are generally decided on the standard 90 minutes of play with added time included at the end of each half.
Can you combine matches in a bet builder?
- Bet builders are specific to one fixture.
- A standard accumulator can cover markets from different fixtures, but bet builders focused on one match. For example, a bet builder cannot include BTTS in Spurs-Arsenal and under 2.5 in Chelsea-Liverpool.
