What is a System 5/8 Bet?

A System 5/8 Bet is a type of combination bet where you select eight different selections, and all possible 5-pick combinations from those eight selections are formed into separate bets.


How Does a System Bet 5/8 Work?

  • You are placing 56 separate 5-fold accumulator bets (since there are 56 ways to combine 5 selections out of 8).
  • You need at least 5 correct picks for some of your accumulators to win.

Example of a System 5/8 Bet

Let’s say you place a $1 bet per combination on a System 5/8 Bet, making your total stake $56. Each event has odds of 2.00.

Possible Outcomes:

  • If 5 selections win: Only 1 accumulator wins. Payout = $1 Γ— 2.00 Γ— 2.00 Γ— 2.00 Γ— 2.00 Γ— 2.00 = $32.
  • If 6 selections win: 6 accumulators win. Payout = 6 Γ— $32 = $192.
  • If 7 selections win: 21 accumulators win. Payout = 21 Γ— $32 = $672.
  • If all 8 selections win: All 56 accumulators win. Payout = 56 Γ— $32 = $1,792.
