citinow Multi Bet — the smart way to get bigger returns across multiple bets
Combine several matches into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, giving you the chance to receive a significant return even from a small stake. On citinow, multi bets are available not just for sports but for various other events too.
What is a multi bet and how does it work
In a regular single bet, you stake on one outcome. A multi bet takes this further — two or more selections are combined into a single bet. The decimal odds of each selection are multiplied together, which makes the total odds much larger.
The most important thing about a multi bet is that every selection must win. If even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. It is therefore a high-risk form of entertainment and should not be played without a clear plan.
On citinow, alongside multi bets, separate markets for single matches are also available through cricket betting, where you can bet on any match in BPL, T20 World Cup, or ICC tournaments.
Double Bet
Two selections — both must win for the bet to succeed. The simplest multi bet.
2 SelectionsTreble Bet
Three selections — all three must win. Higher odds, higher risk.
3 SelectionsAccumulator
Four or more selections. Returns can be much higher, but the risk of losing everything is also the greatest.
4+ SelectionsSystem Bet
Multiple possible combinations — a partial return is possible even if some selections lose.
Flexible StructureA real example of a 3-leg multi bet
To understand the actual potential of a multi bet, it helps to look at an example. The calculation below is for illustration only — it is not a guaranteed return or a promise, just a mathematical demonstration.
Choose three selections from three separate matches: the first selection has odds of 1.50, the second 1.70, and the third 1.80.
Combined odds = 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately).
With a ৳100 stake, if all three selections win, you receive ৳459 back. But if even one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
This example makes it clear why a multi bet should be treated as entertainment, not a reliable path to profit. While small stakes can return large amounts, the probability of winning all selections decreases with every selection you add.
Learning to read three types of odds formats
Understanding odds formats is essential to calculating multi bets. Decimal odds are the simplest format on citinow — here, two examples are used to explain all three formats.
Example 1 — Team A to win (৳1,000 stake)
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Returns 2.25 times the stake |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Win ৳5 for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | Win ৳125 for every ৳100 staked |
৳1,000 stake returns ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250 + stake ৳1,000). If lost, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B to win, favourite (৳1,000 stake)
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | Returns 1.80 times the stake |
| Fractional | 4/5 | Win ৳4 for every ৳5 staked |
| American | -125 | Stake ৳125 to win ৳100 |
৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 (profit ৳800). If lost, ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal format is the most convenient for multi bets, because you can find the total odds simply by multiplying all selections' odds directly. For fractional and American formats, it is easier to convert to decimal first.
Practical tips for multi betting
Multi betting is entertainment — but a few good habits will keep your experience more organised.
Start with fewer selections
Begin with 2–3 selections. More selections mean more risk — keep it simple at the start.
Choose events you know
Betting on a sport you follow regularly is easier. Avoid placing bets on unfamiliar events based on guesswork.
Start with small stakes
Multiplied odds in a multi bet do not mean you need to stake large amounts. Significant returns are possible with stakes of ৳100–৳200.
Avoid all matches from the same league
Results among teams in the same pool may be connected — keep your selections varied.
Accept the possibility of losing
The probability of losing is high in every multi bet. Acknowledge this before you play — do not make decisions based on emotion.
Set aside a fixed budget
Decide on a separate budget for multi bets and spend only that amount.
Bankroll management — keeping your budget under control
Losses are a normal part of multi betting. What matters is that losses do not go beyond your control. The core principle of bankroll management is to spend only a small portion of your total budget on each bet.
Say your weekly betting budget is ৳2,000. Place a maximum of 5%–10% — that is ৳100–৳200 — on each multi bet. This gives you more betting opportunities and reduces the risk of a sudden large loss.
Do not try to chase losses by increasing your stake after a loss — this is one of the most common mistakes. Know your limits and play responsibly. For more, read the responsible gaming guide.

Total weekly budget ৳2,000 — this is an example allocation only.
Mistakes multi bettors should avoid
Certain common mistakes come up repeatedly among new multi bettors. Being aware of them in advance makes for a much more organised experience.
Adding too many selections
7–8 selections may look like big odds on the surface, but the chance of winning all of them is very low. More than 3–4 selections is generally not realistic.
Placing large bets to recover losses
Increasing your stake after a loss to try to "win back" what you lost often leads to even bigger losses. Each bet is separate and has no connection to the previous one.
Two dependent selections from the same match
Adding two selections from the same match — such as a team to win and the over/under in the same match — to a multi bet means the odds do not combine correctly. Most platforms do not allow this.
The trap of inflating odds with many big favourites
A common approach is to combine many low-odds favourites to make the total odds look large. But every favourite can still lose — and the more there are, the greater that risk becomes.
Choosing selections based on odds alone
High odds mean a bigger return, but they also indicate a lower probability of that outcome. Make your selections based on your own understanding of the event, not just the odds.
