A round robin bet is a type of combination bet where you combine several selections into multiple accumulators. This type of bet gives you more chances to win because not all selections have to be correct — a few successful outcomes can already generate a return.
To avoid confusion in calculations and understand how much you can realistically win, a round robin betting calculator is used.
What is a round robin bet?
It is a bet that automatically creates multiple accumulators from the selected events.
For example, if you select 3 matches, a round robin will generate the following combinations:
- 3 doubles (accumulators with 2 selections)
- 1 treble (an accumulator with all three selections)
If at least 2 bets win, you will already receive part of the payout.
How does the round robin calculator work?
The round robin calculator works as follows:
- you choose the number of events (for example, 3, 4, or 5 matches)
- you enter the odds for each selection
- you specify the total stake — the calculator usually splits it across all possible accumulators
You will get the result:
- how many accumulators will be created in total
- how much is staked on each accumulator
- the potential payout for different scenarios (if 2, 3, 4 selections win, etc.)
Example:
- You selected 3 matches with odds of 1.80, 2.00, and 1.90
- The total stake is $60
- The calculator will calculate how much you will receive depending on how many selections win.
Why use a round robin calculator?
- round robin bets are complex, and manual calculations are inconvenient
- the calculator shows the real potential profit and helps you plan your bankroll
- it is convenient to compare different scenarios and choose the optimal strategy
