Bet types explained
Single
Single
A Single Bet is a stake placed on a single selection outcome and only produces a return if it wins.
How to calculate a Single Bet
If your bet wins at odds of 7/2 with a €10 stake, multiply your stake by the numerator (7), then divide by the denominator (2), and add your stake back.
Example: €10 × 7 = €70 ÷ 2 = €35 + €10 stake = €45 total return
Double

A Double is a single bet across two selections. Both selections must win to generate a return. If the first selection wins, the returns are rolled over as the stake for the second selection. Both selections must be from separate events.
How to calculate a Double Bet

Bet 1 at 3/1: €10 × 3 + €10 = €40 return.
