A multi bet, or simply a "multi", combines two or more selections into a single bet. Every leg in your multi has to win for the bet to pay out, but that’s what makes it so exciting, the odds multiply with each leg you add.

Each individual pick is called a leg, and most Aussie bookies let you add up to 20–25 legs in one multi. Whether you’re stacking your weekend AFL, NRL, or racing tips, multis are all about turning small stakes into big potential wins.

Why Aussies Love Multi Bets

Multi betting has exploded in popularity across Australia because it blends strategy, fun, and the thrill of chasing those long odds.

It’s the go-to move for punters who like to roll all their tips into one, especially for weekend fixtures or major tournaments.

📱 Easy to build and track on any major betting app
🔄 Bookies often offer Multi Boosts or Bonus Back promos

How To Place a Multi Bet

The steps might vary slightly between bookmakers (PlayUp, Elitebet, Neds, etc.), but the process is generally the same:

  1. Pick your legs: Tap on each selection you want to include in your multi.
  2. Open your bet slip: Your chosen legs will appear there automatically.
  3. Select “Multi” or “All-up”: This groups your selections together.
  4. Check your combined odds: The total price will show what your potential payout looks like.
  5. Set your stake and confirm: Enter your wager, hit Place Bet, and you’re on.
  6. Share and cheer: Nothing beats celebrating a perfect round with your mates.

Pro Tip

Keep your multi smart, mix solid favourites with one or two value legs to boost your odds without going overboard.

And always check your bookie’s Multi Boost or Same Game Multi offers before placing your bet.

Best Bookmakers For Multi Bets

How are Multi Bets calculated?

Multi bets are calculated based on the order in which the legs conclude. The payout generated from each leg serves as the stake for the next leg in your bet.

For Example, if your bets are as follows:

  • Brisbane Broncos Win 2.00
  • Melbourne Storm Win 1.65
  • Sydney Roosters Win 2.50

The math would be as simple as 2.00 x 1.65 x 2.50 = 8.25

Therefore, if you chucked a tenner on it your return would be as follows:

10 x 8.25 = 82.50 return
