Bets - A Description Of Different Types Of Bet

So far on Successful-Sports-Betting.com I have talked about single bets, eachway doubles, permutations and the Tote Scoop six.

For example, a Heinz is a multple bet of six selections covering 57 bets and consisting of 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and 1 six-fold so in order to break even you need to pick two winners from your six selections that give a 57-1 double! So you see it makes life very difficult with these multiple bets because as soon as you have a loser so many bets go by the wayside.
It is hard enough to pick a single winner so i do not advocate multiples. However, on a sports betting website i consider it necessary to inform my readers and i will describe the bets on this page that are most commonly used by the punting public.

All of these can be backed eachway. You would have to double your outlay for an eachway.
