How many picks does Goliath need to win to be profitable?
The price of each pick will significantly impact how many Picks Goliath needs to win to turn a profit. If only two unique selections win, the odds on those selections must be very high for the overall bet to be profitable. We have provided an example of how many winning picks are usually likely to yield a profit.
Example: You bet £1 on Goliath with a stake of £247. The price per horse is 3/1.
- 0 picks Win – Return £0, Loss – £247
- 1 pick Win – Return £0, Loss – £247
- 2 picks Win – £16, Loss – £231
- 3 picks Win – Return £112, Loss – £135
- 4 picks win – £608 return, £361 profit
- 5 picks win – £3,104 return, £2,857 profit
- Six picks to win – £15,600 in return and £15,353 in profit
- 7 picks win – £78,096 return, £77,849 profit
- 8 picks win – £390,592 return, £390,345 profit
The break-even point in the example is about four winning picks. Five or more could yield a tidy profit. While these are just example prices, it’s clear how incredible the rewards for Goliath could be if all picks win.
Why place a Giant bet?
As mentioned above, Goliath can generate very high returns, which is attractive to bettors. The same high payout can be achieved with an 8x accumulator, but it requires all selections to win to produce any payoff.
For some bettors, Goliath betting is a more exciting way of betting multiples because it increases the chances of a payoff. If two of the eight picks win, something pays off.
The downside of Goliath betting is that it requires a huge bet. Bet 247 times instead of one, and the stakes will be higher. Some people prefer 50p to £1, but the stakes are still high for the average bettor.
