Bet types at Savaspin: singles, accumulators and systems
A bet type describes how selections are combined on a bet slip. The same predictions can be placed as several singles, one accumulator or a system that covers some losing selections. Each choice changes the risk, the potential return and, very often, whether the bet counts towards a sports promotion. This guide explains the common types and how offers treat them. Check the promotion terms in your account for the rules of any offer.
Singles
One selection, one stake. The return is the stake times the odds. Singles are easy to track and are the type most often accepted by promotions, provided the odds meet the minimum.
Accumulators
Several selections combined into one bet, with the odds multiplied together. Every selection must win. The combined odds rise quickly, and so does the chance of one selection failing. Three selections at 2.00 each produce combined odds of 8.00 (illustrative example, not a Savaspin condition). Some sportsbooks add a boost to winning accumulators with many selections, under their own rules.
System bets
A system bet places several accumulators at once from the same selections. A «trixie» covers three selections in three doubles and one treble; a «yankee» covers four selections in eleven bets. Systems cost more, because each combination is a separate stake, but some return can survive a losing selection.
| Type | Selections | Bets in total |
|---|---|---|
| Double | 2 | 1 |
| Trixie | 3 | 4 |
| Patent | 3 | 7 |
| Yankee | 4 | 11 |
Bet builders
A bet builder combines selections from the same match, such as a result and a total. Because the selections are related, the odds are calculated differently from a normal accumulator. Some promotions exclude bet builders.
Cash-out
Cash-out lets you settle a bet before the event ends for an amount the sportsbook offers. It can secure part of a return or limit a loss. Under a promotion, a cashed-out bet often does not count towards turnover, and using cash-out on a free bet may not be allowed.
Which types qualify for sports bonuses
Offers commonly specify:
- Minimum odds per selection, for the whole accumulator, or both.
- A minimum number of selections in accumulators.
- Whether system bets, bet builders and live bets count.
- Whether cashed-out or void bets count.
If an offer requires accumulators of at least three selections at odds of 1.50 each, a double does not count, and nor does a treble with one selection at 1.40 (illustrative example, not a Savaspin condition). The bonus terms guide explains where these rules sit.
Choosing a type that suits you
Singles give control and clarity. Accumulators give higher potential returns at higher risk. Systems give some cover at a higher total stake. Whatever you choose, a fixed budget per bet slip is the simplest safeguard; see the betting guide for more.
