Express bet: definition

Express or parlay is a combination bet. That is, you make several bets, but combine them into one. Why do it? Everything is simple to get a big profit, because the odds in the parlay are multiplied with each other.

The express can include from 2 different rates.

For example, if you made bets with the following odds: 1.4, 1.7 and 1.3, then your final odds will be 3.0, and profit will be calculated on it. But, if at least one of the bets does not play, then you will lose all the money.

What is a return

A return is a situation where a bet is returned at odds of 1.0. It applies to betting markets such as handicap and total, for example.

In a combined bet, you can only get back a part of the odds (one outcome), or the entire express bet. Accordingly, this affects your final winnings.

In what cases are refunds made?

There are factors when the bookmaker makes a return that do not depend on the conditions of the bet itself. This can be influenced by various external events. For example:

  • the match did not take place – in this case, all conscientious bookmakers make a refund;
  • the competition was ended ahead of schedule due to some unforeseen circumstances;
  • the odds of the bookmaker turned out to be wrong, and you bet on them, in such cases, the bookmakers admit and explain their mistake;
  • the client was suspected of fraudulent activity.

A match may end early due to technical problems, an injury to a tennis player or an athlete from another sport, weather conditions, etc.

By the way, another option when bookmakers are forced to return bets to players is if the match is officially recognized as contractual. In such scandalous cases, any predictions become invalid, respectively, bets on them should not be accepted.

But there are also situations when the bookmaker returns the money due to the conditions of the bet. In express, this is possible for the following reasons:

  • after calculating or adding a whole European handicap, the result is a draw, in which case there will be a full refund;
  • after settlements with the Asian handicap (which is divided by two between adjacent numbers), a partial refund is possible;
  • you bet on the total more, but the final result turned out to be the same as the bookmaker indicated.

Such rules are provided by the bet itself and are always followed. If for some reason the bookmaker does not make such a refund, then you can write to technical support.

How the odds change

An accumulator always includes several different bets. Among them, there may be those for which a refund is provided, that is, a total or a handicap. In this case, they will be calculated by a factor of 1.0.

Let’s go back to our previous example where three bets are placed at odds of 1.4, 1.7 and 1.3. Let’s say that the first and last bets were played, and the average was the total, which resulted in a return. As a result, the overall coefficient will be: 1.4*1.3=1.82. This is how your income will be calculated.

Return Benefits

Betting where the outcome is provided always has two main advantages:

  • reduction of risks, as there is a third option for the outcome, and not just winning and losing;
  • increasing the odds, since usually the multiplier for such outcomes is higher than for standard ones.

Therefore, you need to choose events where a return is possible. This gives you a better chance of not losing funds.

FAQ
When is the total refund made?

Let’s look at an example. Let’s say you bet on a total of more than 4 goals for a certain team. If they score 5 or more then your bet wins. If less than 4, then lose. And if just 4, then you will receive a refund.

If there is a return for one bet in an accumulator, is it not reset?

No, it just changes the ratio. Since, in fact, such a bet did not lose, but turned out to be an expense. Express is reset to zero only when you make an erroneous prediction.
