बेट बिल्डर
A sportsbook tool for combining several markets from one event into a single custom bet with one combined price.
Bet builder is the name many sportsbooks give to the screen where you assemble a same-game parlay. You tick markets from a single game, such as a team result, a player prop and a total, and the builder returns one price for the whole combination. European-facing books tend to say "bet builder", North American books "same-game parlay"; the bet itself works the same way.
Worked example
On an Edmonton game (illustrative), you add:
- Edmonton to win in regulation: 2.05
- Edmonton team total over 3.5 goals: 2.30
- A defenceman to record an assist: 2.50
The plain product would be 2.05 × 2.30 × 2.50 = 11.79. The builder shows 9.50 instead, because the legs are positively linked: a big scoring night for Edmonton makes all three more likely. A $10 bet returns $95.
Compare implied probability: 1 / 9.50 = 10.5% from the builder against 1 / 11.79 = 8.5% for independent legs.
What to check
- Leg limits: some builders cap you at a set number of selections.
- Void rules: if a player in your build does not play, some books remove that leg and recalculate, while others void the whole bet.
- Whether the build can be cashed out before the game ends.
