Help a none bet-er out.... - You do NOT have to bet on all the games. The odds are provided for you to do as you please with - you can make individual bets, accumulators, doubles, trebles etc, or just not bet at all, if nothing catches your fancy. what are doubles and trebles, precisely? Truth told, I'm not a gambler myself - as I understand it, a double is where you bet on two games, and have to have both results go your way to win anything, and for a triple, it's 3 bets and 3 results. The benefit is that you get better odds - £5 on 2/1 and £5 on 3/1 would leave you £25 up, whereas turning all that into a double (i.e. £10 on at 6/1) would leave you £60 up. Beyond a triple, it becomes an accumulator. There are more complicated combinations than that, such as 2 of 3, 4 of 5, 6 of 9 and so forth, but doubles, triples and accumulators are probably as complex as anyone on here would want to go. So it's on record, though, the x in y bets are available if you want them  Just bear in mind the minimum-stake factor! |

For instance: If you bet 2 in 3, you select 3 games, and have to have 2 of them win to get anything. Since there's 3 winning combinations there (A+B, A+C, B+C) you have to put at least £3 on. In cases like 5 of 9, the minimum stake is something like £72. |

Just bear in mind the minimum-stake factor!
