What Is an Single Bet?

A single bet is the most basic form of wager, involving just one selection from a single event, forming one individual bet. For this bet to win, your chosen selection must be successful; if it loses, your stake is typically forfeited. Universally popular across all sports, the single bet offers the clearest risk-reward relationship. It's often the starting point for new bettors due to its simplicity and direct nature, making it ideal for identifying value in specific events.

How Does a Single Bet Work?

A single bet's mechanism is direct: your chosen stake is multiplied by the odds offered for your selection to determine your total return if it wins. Your single selection must be victorious for the bet to be successful and for you to receive a payout; if it draws (in a relevant market) or loses, your stake is lost. The return is straightforwardly calculated as: Stake × (Odds + 1) for decimal odds, or Stake × (Numerator/Denominator + 1) for fractional odds, allowing for transparent assessment of value.

Single Bet Example

Let's illustrate a single bet example with a football selection, a £10 stake, and fractional odds:
What is an example of a single bet?
Selection: Arsenal to beat Tottenham: Odds 3/1 (Win)
Stake: £10
How Returns are Calculated:
1. Selection (Arsenal wins): Your initial £10 stake is multiplied by Arsenal's odds (3/1): £10 x (3/1 + 1) = £10 x 4 = £40.00
Total Stake: £10.00
Total Return: £40.00
Total Profit: £40.00 - £10.00 = £30.00
What if the selection loses? If Arsenal had lost or drawn, the single bet would be lost, and your £10 stake would be gone.
