Our Top Bet Builder Tips and Predictions for October 2024
Before we go on and talk about this feature in more detail, we first want to provide you with our top Bet Builder picks. If you are a new player, you can use your Bet365 bonus code to increase your potential winnings by reducing your risk.
Newport vs Chesterfield: Two-Legged Bet Builder @ 10/11 (1.91)
Double chance: Chesterfield or draw
Total goals: Over 2
We kick off our betbuilder predictions with a pick from England's League Two. It's not the most high-profile league but it's a wager that comes with good value. The first selection we're making is for Chesterfield to avoid defeat, which we place in the double chance market. Chesterfield have not lost any of their last five matches whilst Newport have lost three of their last five outings. Our second leg is for there to be over two goals in the match; Newport have gone over the two goal marker in three of their last four matches whilst Chesterfield have seen each of their last four matches feature at least two goals.
Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT, 18/10/24
BetWolves vs Man City: Three-Legged Bet Builder @ 12/5 (3.40)
Result: Man City
Both teams to score: Yes
Anytime scorer: Erling Haaland
Our second betbuilder prediction comes from the Premier League as Man City go to Wolves. Backing Man City to win is a pretty straightforward decision given City remain unbeaten this season whilst Wolves are winless; City have won five of their seven league games played whilst Wolves have lost six of their seven matches. The next layer of this bet is backing Wolves to score. Despite their poor form, they've averaged more than one goal scored per match having netted nine goals to date whilst Man City have conceded eight goals; again more than one goal per match. Last but not least, we're tipping Erling Haaland to score anytime. Haaland has just netted two goals on international duty to become Norway's all-time top scorer whilst his club form has been sensational so far this season too; he's netted 11 goals in nine matches to this point. Haaland scored four goals in the last head to head meeting as well.

What Is the Bet Builder Feature?
Bet Builder is a feature that allows bettors to place multiple bets on the same game. In a nutshell, it is a feature that helps you create an accumulator bet where all selections are from one match or event. However, keep in mind that you can also create a Bet Builder bet with as few as two selections.
Another thing that's important to know is that the Bet Builder odds you get will likely be lower than the odds you would get if you just multiplied your selections, as you would do with a regular accumulator bet. However, that is the price you have to pay if you want to bet on multiple betting markets from a single game – you wouldn't be able to do this otherwise, without using the Bet Builder feature.
The most popular use of Bet Builder is for football games, but you can use this feature to bet on other sports as well, like basketball, ice hockey, tennis, cricket, and many others. That being said, some bookies limit Bet Builder offers to football or just the most popular events from other sports.
On top of that, it's important to keep in mind that not all bookies have this feature or if they do, it might be called something other than Bet Builder, like Same Game Multi or Request a Bet.
In fact, Bet Builder has previously known as the Request a Bet feature, where you would have to send your selections to your bookie via social media (usually on Twitter with a specific hashtag) or email and then wait for them to respond with the odds. With the Bet Builder feature, that process is automated and you get your odds instantly, although some bookies still use the Request a Bet feature instead.
How to Use the Bet Builder Feature
Using the Bet Builder Feature is rather simple. The first step is to find a bookmaker that offers the Bet Builder feature. Once you do this, just follow these steps:
- Choose the match you want to bet on
- Click on the Bet Builder tab for the game you selected
- Start building the bet by adding your selections (click on the desired betting market to add the selection)
- With each selection you add, you will instantly see the odds for your Bet Builder wager
- Once you add all selections that you want, place/confirm your bet
Keep in mind that Bet Builder only works with pre-game betting markets, so you won't be able to place a Bet Builder wager on live games. Also, the Bet Builder feature will automatically eliminate conflicting or contradictory combinations, so you won't be able to make a mistake like that when you place your bet.
Bet Builder on Mobile Apps
Given the rise of popularity when it comes to mobile sports betting, most bookies today also have mobile apps that you can download, install, and use to place your bets. Also, most of the bookmakers that offer the Bet Builder feature provide it on both their desktop site and mobile app, although in some cases, the Bet Builder feature can be found exclusively on one of the platforms. As we explained in our presentation of the bet365 app, betbuilder is available on all devices.
Bet Builder Odds
As we already mentioned, Bet Builder odds aren't the same as odds on regular accumulator bets since they aren't calculated the same way by simply multiplying the odds. In fact, each bookmaker has its own way to calculate the odds for their Bet Builder feature, so Bet Builder odds for same selections can vary from one bookie to another.
We tested this to check out which bookies offer the best Bet Builder odds and found that Betfair had the best odds, followed by Unibet, 888sport and bet365, while the other bookies were behind. However, this was tested on a few examples only and the result could be different from one game to another. Our article on the best bet of the day goes into more in detail on which bookie is offering what on that particular day.
