What is ROUND ROBIN BET?

The Round Robin bet proves itself to be extremely popular with racing bettors. While the initial outlay in terms of starting stake is higher, the returns are also much higher when you back three winning selections.

That is the Round Robin bet explained, let’s now take a look at a Round Robin bet example on racing .

HORSE RACING ROUND ROBIN BET

Below we have selected three horses at Cheltenham on which to base this Round Robin bet –

 

Let’s first imagine that you back these three horses as straight singles and they all win:

Initial stake: £3 (£1 win on each horse).

Returns: £18.50

(£1 @ 7/1 = £8, £1 @ 4/1 = £5, £1 @ 9/2 = £5.50)

Overall profit on the bets: £15.50

Now, let’s see what happens if we combine these winning selections as one Round Robin Bet (remember how many bets in a round robin – our stake will increase to £7 initially):

Instead of an overall profit of £15.50 on the three singles, the Round Robin would return a profit of £342.50 for an initial outlay of £7 on these selections.

If you find when betting that you are able pick a consistent level of winning horses, the Round Robin could prove an extremely efficient companion bet for you.

In the example we have shown above, two winning selections from the three would still earn a profit in excess of £50 for the £7 staked to make this Round Robin bet.

In this bet, we have combined selections in the US Masters golf, the World Snooker Championship and the Wimbledon Mens Singles tennis.
As before with our horse racing bet, the returns for a £1 Round Robin bet on these selections are surprisingly high for an overall stake of £7 if we have picked three winning selections.

 

The Round Robin could be a useful combination bet to use on some of your favourite sporting events!

FOOTBALL ROUND ROBIN

Round Robin bets can be used on most popular football betting markets, such as win only, first goalscorer, correct scores, match result and both teams to score and many more.
Below is an example of a potential Round Robin bet on football using the half-time / full-time market for some English FA Cup matches.

 

The half-time / full-time market gives you an extra edge on the overall win market, with the proviso, in the examples shown here, that your chosen team must be ahead at half-time and win the match. You can also choose the draw or lose markets for half-time with this bet.

In the example shown, a £1 Round Robin bet, total cost £7, would return the figure below if all three games have been correctly predicted:

 

Also in this instance, two winning selections from three chosen would return just over £20, meaning you would almost treble the initial stake.

These are just some examples of how you might choose to use Round Robin betting.

To recap, the Round Robin is a simple, complete coverage bet using three selections and you need to have just one winning line to see some return on your investment.
