Combine multiple matches in a gt99 multi bet
The odds of many matches multiply together in a single bet — so the potential win can be much larger. Here is a detailed look at how multi bet works at gt99 and how to make the right decisions.
How multi bet actually works
A multi bet is a bet where the outcomes of two or more separate events are combined. The odds of each selection are multiplied to produce a combined odds figure. You win the entire bet only if every selection is correct — if even one is wrong, the whole bet is lost. This is the most important feature of a multi bet.
It is sometimes called an "accumulator" or "parlay". Among cricket and football fans in Bangladesh, this type of bet has become quite popular because there is a chance of a comparatively larger win from a smaller stake. However, it is purely a form of entertainment — not a reliable source of income.
Multi bets can be placed on cricket betting at gt99, with the option to combine selections from different matches or markets. As each selection is added to the bet slip, the combined odds update automatically.
Calculating a 3-selection multi bet
Below is a real example showing how to calculate the combined odds and potential return of a multi bet.
Three selections from three separate matches:
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03 (rounded)
With a ৳100 bet, the potential return is ৳403 — but only if all three selections are correct.
If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Team names are shown here as Team A and Team B — these are examples only and do not represent any specific match or outcome. Multi bet is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of a fixed return.
Decimal, Fractional and American — three types of odds
Odds appear in three different formats across various sites and markets. gt99 generally uses decimal odds, which are straightforward for Bangladeshi bettors.
Below, two examples explain all three formats together:
Example 1 — Team A to win, bet ৳500
If Team A wins, the return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If they lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B to win (favourite), bet ৳500
If Team B wins, the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100.
When multiple selections are combined in a multi bet, each selection's odds multiply together, so the combined odds grow quickly. For the same reason, the risk also increases — every selection must be correct.
Useful tips for multi betting
-
Keep selections to a minimum — A multi bet with 2 to 4 selections is the most realistic approach. The more selections you add, the lower the chance that all of them will be correct.
-
Avoid related markets — Placing two markets from the same match that depend on each other in a multi reduces the effectiveness of the odds.
-
Calculate the return beforehand — Before placing a bet, work out the combined odds and potential return yourself so your expectations stay realistic.
-
Mixing different sports is possible — Cricket and football selections can be combined in a multi, but you need a solid understanding of each market separately.
-
Read the rules before betting — Reading the terms and conditions will help you understand when a bet may be cancelled or changed.
-
Live odds change fast — Odds shift quickly during a match, so when placing a multi bet, make sure each selection's odds are what you want before confirming.
Multi bet is for entertainment
High odds do not mean an easy win — in fact, the chance of every selection being correct is low. Treat multi betting as a form of entertainment and place bets with the risk of loss in mind.

Understanding risk and managing your bankroll
The biggest risk in multi betting is the requirement for every selection to be correct. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. It is therefore important to have a clear bankroll plan.
A simple rule is not to place more than 5% to 10% of your total betting budget on a single multi bet. This way, losing one bet does not hit your overall budget too hard.
| Number of selections | Level of risk | Combined odds (example) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Relatively low | Moderate increase |
| 3 | Moderate | Significant increase |
| 4–5 | Higher | Much higher, but difficult |
| 6+ | Very high | Very large, but getting all correct is rare |

Common mistakes beginners make
Certain common mistakes come up repeatedly in multi betting. Being aware of them in advance leads to a better experience.
Too many selections
A multi bet with 7 or 8 selections may look attractive due to the large odds, but the chance of all of them being correct is extremely low.
Placing bigger bets after a loss
Placing an even larger bet to recover after losing a multi bet is a serious mistake. It can increase your total losses further.
Related markets together
Placing two markets from the same match that depend on each other in a multi provides no real variety.
Betting without understanding the odds
Placing a bet without understanding the difference between decimal and fractional odds leads to confusion about the expected return.
Live odds changing
Odds can change before a bet is confirmed, especially in in-play betting. Always check the latest odds before placing.
Chasing big rewards only
Deciding on a bet based solely on the size of the return means ignoring the actual probability. Entertainment should be the main goal.
