What is a bet builder
A bet builder is a type of wager that allows the punter to create a customized bet by selecting multiple outcomes from different markets for the same match. In most cases, this will be an event with several potential outcomes (e.g. match result, btts, over/under first goalscorer, correct score), each with its own odds. The bet builder allows you to combine these selections into one single wager, with increased odds as a result.
How to create a bet builder
To create a bet builder, you first need to select the event you want to bet on. Most of the bookmakers offer bet builder option for all football matches in their offer.
Once you have selected the event, you then need to select the outcomes that you want to bet on. This can be of any type, such as a match result, btts, over/under, first goalscorer, correct score, etc. Each outcome will have its own set of odds, so be sure to pick the ones that offer the best value for money.
After selecting all of your desired outcomes, you then need to enter the amount you want to bet. The bet builder will then calculate your total odds and show you how much money you will bet, as well as how much you will win if the bet is successful.
Note that bet builder odds are generally not as high as its single bet equivalent, but by combining multiple outcomes, you can increase your chance of winning.
Choosing matches for bet builder
On the Makeyourstats fixtures page, you can create a filter based on your football stats that you are looking for.
For example, I have created a filter to get fixtures with over 1.5 goals in a minimum of 80% of past matches and over 7.5 corners in a minimum of 75% of past matches.

I came up with Hearts vs Celtic as a match that matched my filter criteria: 80% for over 1.5 game goals and 90% for over 7.5 game corners.
You can create a bet builder with all these options: over 1.5 goals, over 7.5 corners and if you want to increase odds you can add over 0.5 goals in the second half and over 3.5 corners in the second half.
Bet builder vs Acca
The main difference between a bet builder and an Acca is the fact that the bet builder is used with multiple selections for the same match while an Acca is created using multiple selections from different matches.
You can't combine different markets from the same match on an Acca, but you can do that on a bet builder. On a bet builder, you can't combine selections from multiple matches, but you can on an Acca.
