Examples
Football (decimal odds)
Eight teams; Goliath coverage plus SSA pairs.
Horse racing (fractional odds)
Eight horses combined as a Goliath Flag.
Fractional odds explained
- Written as a/b (e.g., 5/2). This means you win a profit of a for every b you stake.
- Profit = stake × (a ÷ b). Total return = stake + profit.
- Quick convert to decimal: 1 + (a ÷ b). Example: 9/4 → 1 + 9/4 = 3.25.
- Example: at 2/1, a £10 stake: profit £20, total return £30.
Formulas
Multiples + SSA pairs
Returns are the sum of all standard multiples plus the SSA "about" pairs included in this bet type.
Reasons for making a Goliath Flag Bet
- Increased chances of winning: Multiple combinations create more ways to get a return than a single bet.
- Potential for significant returns: When several selections win, combined payouts can grow quickly.
- Risk management: Some combinations can still return even if not all selections win.
