Bet types and how they count towards wagering
The same prediction can be played several ways: a single, an accumulator with other matches, or a system covering several combinations. Each carries different risk and a different relationship with bonus terms. All figures below are illustrative example, not a Magnumbet term.
Single
One selection. Return = stake × odds. 10 at 2.00 returns 20 (10 profit). For wagering, the stake counts if the odds meet the threshold.
Accumulator
Several selections on one slip; all must win. Odds multiply: 1.50, 1.70 and 2.00 give 5.10. A stake of 5 returns 25.50. Some offers require a minimum number of legs or minimum odds per leg.
| Type | Selections | Total odds | Stake | Possible return |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 1 | 2.00 | 10 | 20 |
| Accumulator | 3 | 5.10 | 5 | 25.50 |
| System 2/3 | 3 (3 slips) | varies | 3 × 2 | depends on winners |
System
A 2-from-3 system turns three selections into three doubles. You get something back if at least two selections win. Total stake is the number of slips times the stake per slip. For wagering, some offers count the total stake, others only slips that meet the minimum odds.
Free bet (stake not returned)
A winning free bet pays the profit without the stake. That matters when valuing the offer: 10 free at 2.00 is worth 10, not 20.
Asian handicap
Asian handicaps remove the draw with half-goal lines and sometimes return part of the stake. A partially refunded bet may count only partly towards wagering, or not at all, depending on the terms.
Which type for which purpose
A single is easiest to control. Big accumulators offer tempting odds and small chances: every extra leg reduces the overall probability. For a requirement with an odds threshold, singles just above it are usually the most predictable route; accumulators add variance. The conditions are in bonus.
Each-way bets
In some sports an each-way bet splits the stake between a win and a place. For wagering, offers may count both halves, only the win half or neither. The terms decide.
