The structure of a Goliath bet ensures that even with just two winning selections, the bettor can receive a return, albeit typically smaller than the initial stake. As more selections win on a Goliath Bet, the returns increase exponentially due to the combination of bets. This aspect makes it a high-reward bet type for those who can accurately predict multiple event outcomes.

Goliath Bets are calculated by combining the odds of eight selections in 247 bet combinations. The total stake of a Goliath Bet is spread across these bets to calculate potential returns.

This includes calculating returns for all doubles, trebles, and accumulators up to eight-fold, based on the odds of the selections. The complexity of these calculations makes the Goliath Bet calculator an essential tool for bettors engaging in this type of wager.
