Bet365 Bet Builders

Bet365 Build A Bet Review

Bet365 has an exceptional bet builder. It's a separate tool that you build independently of the bet slip so you can see what you're creating separately from any bets. It also adds the completed bet builder to your bet slip as a single item. Meaning it won't conflict with other bets on the slip and even better, you can use it as a single selection in other multiples - so you can double, treble, acca your bet builders.

• One of the best bet builders we list
• Combine builders as Accas
• Inplay bet builders

You can bet build from the following markets: Match Result (Full Time or Half Time), Both Teams to Score, Number of Goals Scored, Players to Score (Anytime, First, Last, 2 or More, 3 or More), Corners, Cards (Total, Player Card or Red Card in Match), To Qualify or To Lift the Trophy, Match Shots, Player Shots on Target, Match Offsides

Bet365 has one of the best bet builder tools out there and has a solid team of people working on the functionality, it's been updated a lot over the last couple of years as they work on it constantly to innovate and advance the features.

Bet365 have a great football betting offering. They're a UK betting brand, so I still don't get why they signpost the markets with Soccer instead of Football! But I guess as it is a globally popular betting brand and soccer is, unfortunately, the internationally recognised word for the game - mehhh!!

The prematch betting markets are packed with variety. Sometimes there are too many bets available, which could be overwhelming if you're a newbie. But with that said, game based betting is pretty easy to navigate with lots of categories like players, goals, cards, and corners keeping it neat. If you're betting on a single match, you don't have to leave the screen view to find a bet. 

The coupons could be a little easier to find, it's quite difficult to actually navigate to a daily coupon and get an acca on. We're fans of both teams to score ACCAs, so we feel this could be better as you have to trawl through different leagues or individual matches and build your ACCA that way.

The tools are great, listed as features on their site, which we'll go on to detail. But as expected they've got great live betting, cashout, live streams and even a decent bet calculator if you need it.

Bet365 Bet Builder Cashout

Cashout is a really simple feature of the modern betting experience, but did you know that bet365 has 3 ways to cash out! It just amplifies what we've already suggested about the brand, that they're quite simply one of the best. 

• Cash Out has always been fast, you get a slight delay while the system processes your request, but it's been useful for me. If you're trying to tick the system expect it to play up. It's designed for those who have a knack for predicting the outcome of their bets while they're running, it's not designed to catch the bookie out with split second updates
• Partial Cash Out can be worthwhile, it's not something I use regularly unless I'm pretty sure I can get the value out of a bet. If you're using it to place a desperate bet, then you're playing into their hands by reducing the value of the original bet and running the risk of the next bet losing
• Auto Cashout Out For advanced bettors (I almost wrote traders there), that's exactly what it feels like. Setting yourself a price point for a cashout and if it reaches that level, the feature cashes out for you. I'm not a fan of this, it feels like you're backing out of the bet before it's even placed, so I've not really used it. I can see the appeal, but it's not something I've had any luck with

Bet365 Bet Builder Odds

We found Bet365 were pretty average for odds on key markets. It's not a huge difference, but they weren't the absolute best for football odds. If you're not an odds comparer you probably won't notice, but I'd say some of the rival bookies will often have a slightly better price from time to time. 

Bet365 makes up for pricing bets shorter with better deals and in my view a better service. If you only bet a small amount the difference is very minimal.

Bet365 finally dipped into the fantasy free games market recently with score predictors and fantasy games for their players. They have both paid and free-to-play games that result in cash prizes if you're successful. But this isn't a free payday, they're designed to be won very rarely and are often about luck over skill!

Fantasy games & free to play competitions

During the peak soccer season, you can play the scores challenge predictor games or the fantasy tournaments. The following are free games that have been available and may be subject to change.

• 6 Scores Challenge Free to play: Win cash prizes by predicting the scores of six Soccer matches, every week. If you fall short on one or two predictions, there are prizes for three, four and five correctly predicted scores.
• 4 Scores Challenge: Predict four correct scores from selected Soccer games and win cash for FREE!
• Free4All: Win £10 in Free Bets by answering 4 questions correctly on selected events

Bet365 Fantasy Sports

In bet365's Fantasy Sports, you can build a squad and compete against other entries for Fantasy points – the players in your team will gain points based on their real-world performances, so you track actual events like a golf tournament or a soccer match. With different Tournament types available across multiple Sports every day, you can play Fantasy Sports all year round.

I found it really difficult to work out how to enter and I didn't feel like it was given much coverage across the site, leading me to believe it's not a core product that Bet365 give that much air time.

Some tournaments are free to enter with cash with prize pools and some are paid. It's a nice to have, tucked away behind the scenes but a bit of distraction from the actual sportsbook! These platforms might be found on other sites, so it's a networked app provided by a specialist provider and not a stand-alone bet365 product.
