Bet365 bet builder Australia: All you need to know!

Bet365 is a major bookmaker on the world scene when it comes to sports betting. Here though we focus on one key aspect of their offering with a look at the Bet365 bet builder Australia.

What to expect from the bet365 bet builder?

Before we crack on with talking about the Bet365 bet builder Australia tool, we want to detail what you can expect us to cover. We'll begin with a high-level overview of what the tool is. Then we'll look at the different options you have available within the tool, the markets it can be used on and, finally, we'll close with a FAQ about Bet365 and the specifics of their bet builder.

So, what is the tool?

In simple terms, the bet builder tool offered by Bet365 is an easy-to-use function that allows punters to combine bets in multiple markets from the same event into one larger wager offering superior odds.

The key things to stress here are that any bets placed through the bet builder are singles regardless of how many market combinations you've pooled; this means that every section of your bet has to be correct for you to see a return on your stake. Bets of this nature are harder to win than standard single bets on an event but the trade-off is for better odds. The mathematical approach by the bookmaker is similar to that of accumulator betting. There is one vital difference though; that being that bet builder bets are focussed on one event compared to accumulators being across many.

Other bookmakers offer similar things, however, most of these are through template bets I.e. you have no say on the betting ‘legs' involved or they require some form of communication with the bookmaker; this is often through social media. With Bet365, you can use the bet builder live to see up-to-date odds and alter your selections as you so wish, as many times as you wish.

What sports are bet builders available on?

The Bet365 bet builder Australia is available across multiple sports with more likely to be added in the future. Currently, the key sports covered are Tennis, Basketball, American Football, and Soccer.

What markets can you bet on?

The markets you're allowed to incorporate into your bet builder vary depending on the chosen sport; they are usually quite extensive though. We'll use soccer as an example of the depth you can go to within the bet builder.

How do you build your bet?

With such an array of options available for your bet builder bets, you would be forgiven for thinking it's complicated to start creating your bespoke wager. It is not. In fact, it's incredibly simple. When you navigate to a specific event one of the menu options will be aptly named ‘Bet Builder'; once here, you will see a ‘+' sign. Using this button will open up a list of markets available for the event in question. You can then pick and choose the markets – and selections – you wish to incorporate into your bet. As you add them to your bet builder your odds will grow with full visibility; it means you know exactly where you stand with your bet at every step. When you're happy with your bet, you simply add it to your bet slip and place your bet as normal.
