What is a Goliath bet?
A Goliath bet is a complex form of multiple betting that involves 247 total bets on eight different selections, including combinations of doubles, trebles, and accumulators of varying sizes. The bet is a full-cover bet, meaning it covers all possible outcomes from your selections, and no single bets are included. To achieve a return, at least two of the eight selections must win, which increases the likelihood of some level of payout compared to a standard accumulator bet. However, the substantial stake required to place a Goliath bet is a key disadvantage, with a £1 bet on a Goliath costing £247.
The Goliath bet offers potential high returns, especially if several of the selections win, but the cost of the bet can be prohibitive for many bettors. With 247 individual bets, even a small stake such as £0.50 results in a significant total stake. This makes it an expensive option, suitable primarily for experienced gamblers or those willing to take a higher risk. The total number of bets means that even with two selections winning, there is a chance of a return, but the odds of each selection will determine whether the bet turns profitable.
While the Goliath bet's extensive coverage increases the chances of a return, it still relies heavily on the odds of the selections. If the odds of the winning selections are not high enough, the returns may not justify the total stake. For example, if only two selections win, the bettor would need those selections to have high odds to make the bet profitable. Conversely, if most of the selections fail, the entire stake can be lost, especially if the odds of the selections are long. The key to success in a Goliath bet lies in selecting high odds that have a reasonable chance of winning.
Despite its high cost, the Goliath bet can be a good option for bettors looking to hedge their bets while simultaneously multiplying their returns. It provides a full coverage of possible outcomes and increases the likelihood of a return, especially when more selections are successful. However, the bet's complexity and substantial investment make it best suited for experienced bettors who are confident in their ability to pick successful selections. The potential for large payouts is significant, but the risk involved means the Goliath is not for the casual bettor.
