A common trend within the online sports betting industry is that when one brand rolls out a new innovation, the others quickly follow suit – particularly if punters love it. One of the more recent examples is the ‘same game multi’, ‘build your own bet’ feature. All the leading sportsbooks have now adopted it; however, they use different names to individualise their own product. This page looks at Betway’s offering – it’s #BetYourWay builder.
What is #BetYourWay?
Put simply, it’s an accumulator bet created from markets within the same match. Please note: the Betway Bet Builder tool is only available on selected football matches at present. For instance, you can place a bet such as:
- Barcelona to win (1X2 market) @1.30
- Over 4.5 goals (Total goals O/U market) @5.00
- ‘Yes’ both teams to score (BTTS market) @1.50
- Messi to score first (first goalscorer market) @2.75
- Over 10.5 corners (total corners O/U market) @2.50
The odds are calculated in the same way as a regular accumulator bet: 1.30 x 5.00 x 1.50 x 2.75 x 2.50 = 67.03. So, a £1.00 stake could bag you £67.03 if all the selections are correct. This is the appeal of #BetYourWay and other same game multi products with rival sportsbooks.

#BetYourWay tips
Betting sites want to give punters as many options as they can, and features such as this one certainly help to do that. However, the nature of accumulator betting is based on small/medium stakes but large returns – in some cases very large.
These are a few #betyourway tips the team here at Gamblers Pro wanted to share with new bettors.
- Don’t be greedy: Yes, you can combine up to 10 selections but with each additional pick, the chances of your winning decreases. Keep it sensible and realistic.
- Do your research: Is a certain player in good/bad form? Are there any noteworthy injuries? what is the current home/away form like of the clubs playing? There’s a mountain of information available on the web, make use of it to plan your bets effectively.
- Use free bets: Betway allows you to use free bets with this feature. This gives you a free swing of the bat. It means you can be a little more adventurous, but don’t overdo it.
- Avoid high odds markets: You need to be very lucky to win a 5 – 0 correct score bet even if it’s just a single, so don’t include these wagers in your #betyourway accumulator. Low to medium odds will yield the best returns in the long run.
Don’t forget, as a customer of Betway, you can enter its free football prediction game 4 To Score. This has a weekly jackpot of £25,000 which can roll over to £250,000. Lastly, if nothing appeals to you from the bet builder markets, don’t force it.
