What Does a System 2/5 (10 Bets) Mean?

A System 2/5 (10 Bets) is a type of wager where you select five games or events and bet that at least two of your predictions will be correct. The major advantage over a standard accumulator bet is that you don't need all five of your forecasts to be right to get a payout.

How It Works:

1. You pick 5 games or events.
2. From these 5 selections, the system automatically creates all possible two-selection combinations. This results in a total of 10 individual 2-selection accumulator bets (often called "doubles").

You'll win as long as at least 2 of your 5 selected games are correct:

  • If 2 of your 5 predictions are correct: You'll win one of the ten 2-selection accumulator bets and receive a payout.
  • If 3 of your 5 predictions are correct: You'll win three of the ten 2-selection accumulator bets.
  • If 4 of your 5 predictions are correct: You'll win six of the ten 2-selection accumulator bets.
  • If all 5 of your predictions are correct: You'll win all ten 2-selection accumulator bets, leading to a significant overall payout.

The Advantage of a System 2/5 Bet:

This type of bet offers you a safety net. With a standard 5-fold accumulator, if just one selection is wrong, your entire stake is lost. However, with a System 2/5, you still have a chance to win even if some of your predictions don't come true. This means a lower risk per bet, but also that the potential payout for each correct prediction might be smaller than for a pure 5-fold accumulator with the same total stake.

Your total stake is divided across these 10 individual 2-selection combinations. For example, if you bet €10 on a System 2/5, you're effectively placing €1 on each of the ten 2-selection combinations.
