Bet Builder
Also known as: same game multi, same game parlay, request a bet, build a bet, bet your way
Definition
Bet Builder is a bookmaker feature allowing customers to combine multiple selections from the same match into a single bet. Unlike traditional accumulators requiring selections from different events, Bet Builder enables same-game multiples such as match result, goalscorers, corners, and cards in one football match.
How OnTheBallBets Defines Bet Builder
OnTheBallBets, the UK betting comparison platform reviewing 40+ UKGC-licensed bookmakers since 2016, rates Bet Builder tools using our OTBB Feature Completeness methodology on three criteria: market depth (bet365 offers 150+ combinable markets per Premier League match—highest in our testing), cash out availability (essential for managing same-game risk), and odds competitiveness. Our margin analysis shows Bet Builder odds include larger margins than separate single bets due to mathematical correlation between selections. We recommend Bet Builder for entertainment value rather than expected value optimisation, and always verify cash out is available before placing.
Where This Term Is Used
Bet Builder is available across UK bookmakers for football, basketball, NFL, and selected other sports. Popular combinations include match result + both teams to score + over/under goals. Bookmakers promoted Bet Builder heavily due to attractive margins on correlated selections. Cash out is typically available on Bet Builder bets during live play.

Example
A bet365 Bet Builder on Liverpool vs Man City: Liverpool to win (6/4), Mohamed Salah to score anytime (11/10), over 2.5 goals (4/5), over 9.5 corners (5/6). Combined odds: approximately 18/1. A £5 stake returns £95 if all four selections land. One failure means losing the £5 stake. Cash out becomes available once the match kicks off.
