Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a sports bets combination? (Definition)
A sports betting combination is a betting strategy that consists of combining several predictions on different matches into a single betting slip (combined).
Potential winnings are calculated based on the success of all predictions included in the combination.
Why bet a combination of sports predictions?
Players use sports betting combinations to increase their chances of making big winnings by combining multiple predictions. This maximizes profits while accepting a higher level of risk.
Sports betting requires predictions on 1 to multiple matches, and bookmakers add bonuses for accumulator bets. So it is sometimes more profitable to bet on a combination than on individual matches.
In addition, by filtering the combinations to remove the least likely, it is statistically possible to ensure a win.
How to generate betting possibilities?
Enter the matches or which sports bets are considered. Then specify the type of (Parlay) bet.
dCode is compatible with 2 different kinds of matches. The ones 3 possibilities: 1N2 or 1X2 (for football/soccer games for example: Victory for Team 1 or Draw or Victory for Team 2) or only two possibilities: 1-2 (for tennis matches for example: Player 1 Victory or Player 2 victory).
Example: player A - player B => 1 means victory for player A - so defeat for player B
Example: team C - team D => X (or N) means draw game
The algorithm will generate all possible combinations, which can lead to thousands of possibilities, so the number of elements is limited.
By convention 1: team / player at home, and 2: team / player away
What does 1X2 mean?
1X2 or 1N2 means 3 eventualities: 1 for victory of the first team / first player / home, X (or N) for draw / tie, and 2 for victory of the second team / second player / away.
The half-time option applies for certain bets where the goal is to know the evolution of the score during the game, specifically the result at half-time (football/soccer games, basketball, etc.).
How to count betting possibilities?
To calculate how many bets are needed, the computation is based on the number of outcomes/possibilities (2 for matches 1-2 or 3 for 1N2 matches) to the power of number of games.
Example: 10 games with 3 eventualities (victory, draw, defeat) represent a total of $ 3^{10} = 59049 $ combinations.
Example: 8 games with 2 eventualities (victory, defeat) represent a total of $ 2^8 = 256 $ combinations.
How to minimize the risks when using sports betting combinations?
To minimize risks, the player can diversify his predictions by choosing events with reasonable odds.
He can also limit the number of selections in his combination to reduce the level of risk.
