Could anyone please explain the following to me?

With regards to football betting - what does a 10-fold mean? say I have 11 bets and I put 0.10p on a 10-fold selection....What is the minimum bets I have to come through in order to achieve a return and how are the returns calculated?

Thanks in advance.

10-folds are every possible combination of 10 teams..

With 11 selections - This allows you to have one loser in there and get paid on 1 x 10 team accy.

For a 10p bet on 10 folds from 11 selections..

The bets costs 11 bets x 10p so £1.10 and you would need 10 winners from your 11 selections to get a pay-out


If all 11 win then you get paid for 11 x 10 different tenfolds

thanks...

Is it the same for the descending numbers? 9-Fold, 8-fold, etc etc

yeah fold just means accy, so 8 fold is an accumulator of 8 bets, even if you had 10 teams an 8 fold would be any 8 teams to win out of the 10.
