Combos — pre-made parlays, priced as one bet

How the cards are built

There is no editorial desk picking favourites. The rail is algorithmic: it takes fixtures kicking off in the next two days, keeps the ones with real liquidity behind them, uses each fixture's headline market only — the match winner, never a prop or a line ladder — and combines legs from different fixtures so no two legs ride the same game or the same team.

Each candidate set is then priced as a whole. Sets that no one will quote are dropped rather than shown with a guess. What survives is re-checked against the live board before it renders: if a market closes, a game kicks off, or an outcome's name no longer matches what the card says, the card is removed rather than shown stale.

What the number on a card means

The big figure is the multiple: the amount returned per unit staked if every leg wins, quoted for the whole set at a nominal $10. The line under it works that out — $10.00 → $84.20 means a $10 bet returning $84.20, stake included. It is an example, not an offer: when you add the card to your slip and ask for a price at your own stake, you get a fresh binding quote for that stake, and that is the number you place at.

Each leg shows the board's live price beside it, small and muted, so you can see what you are combining. The multiple is not their product. A combo is quoted for the whole set: the maker prices the legs together, legs that tend to happen together are priced lower than multiplying them suggests, and the figure already includes our combo fee. So the multiple usually sits below what the leg prices multiply to, and that gap is the real price of the bet, not a mistake. The multiple is what you place at; the leg prices are context.

Every rail states when its prices were taken. A multiple is a snapshot from the last pricing cycle — at most about twelve minutes old by the time a page shows it — and the slip re-prices it the moment you ask.

From card to placed bet

Tapping Add to slip switches the slip into combo mode and loads the card's legs — replacing whatever combo you had in progress, with an undo right there if you didn't mean to. Type a stake and ask for a price. The quote you get back is binding for a short window, shown as a countdown on the confirm button; confirm inside it and the bet is placed, let it lapse and you simply ask again.

You can edit a card before pricing it: remove a leg, add one from any board, or swap a pick for the other side of the same market. The slip treats a card as a starting point, not a locked ticket.

How a combo settles

A combo settles when its last leg resolves. Each leg resolves the way its own market resolves, and the combo pays out only if every leg wins. A combo that has lost a leg is shown as lost the moment that leg resolves, rather than kept open until the other games finish.

Because a combo is a single bet, it is also sold as one. An open combo can be cashed out for whatever the market will pay for the whole set at that moment — a quoted price you can accept or decline, exactly like the price you placed at.

When to build your own instead

The rail is a menu, not a recommendation. It leans towards fixtures with deep markets and picks that price cleanly, which means it will rarely surface a long-shot underdog stack or a niche league. If that is the bet you want, build it: switch the slip to Combo, tap the outcomes you want on any board, and price it the same way. The slip will tell you if a leg cannot be combined and why.

Pre-made cards are fastest when you already like the shape of a bet — a couple of favourites across tonight's games — and want a price without hunting for each market. Building your own is the right tool when the picks matter more than the speed.
