G’day punters! Have you ever felt the rush of seeing a multi-leg sports bet come through? I’m talking about that heart-pounding thrill when your last leg hits and you score a big win. As someone who bets regularly on Aussie sports like AFL, NRL, and cricket, I’ve learned a thing or two about crafting multi-leg bets that actually pay off.
Here’s how I made it work—and how you can too:

Last month, I placed a 4-leg multi on an NRL weekend:
Have you ever scored big with a multi-leg bet? What’s your go-to strategy for building winning combos?
Here’s how I made it work—and how you can too:
1. Build Around Safe Legs First
I start with “sure-thing” picks to anchor the bet. For example, if the Melbourne Storm is playing a lower-ranked team, I’ll add them to win as my safe leg. It doesn’t pay much alone, but it boosts the overall payout when combined with riskier bets.2. Add Value with Try Scorers or Goal Kickers
Including try-scorer bets in NRL or goal-scorers in AFL can seriously boost a multi. I like picking consistent players like Payne Haas for NRL or Charlie Curnow in AFL—especially when they’re in form.3. Don’t Go Overboard
I used to stack 10+ legs, dreaming of insane payouts. Spoiler alert: that rarely works. Now I stick to 3-5 legs for a solid balance of risk and reward.4. Consider Alternate Lines
Betting on alternate points lines can be a game-changer. For instance, if I think a team will dominate but I’m unsure by how much, I’ll choose a safer point spread.5. Cash-Out Smarts
I’ve saved myself heartbreak by cashing out when I’m close to winning. It’s not the full payout, but it’s better than risking everything on the final leg.Example of a Recent Win:
Last month, I placed a 4-leg multi on an NRL weekend:
- Melbourne Storm to win
- Latrell Mitchell to score a try
- Total points over 38.5 in the Broncos game
- Cowboys to cover a -4.5 point spread
