What is a goliath bet?
A Goliath bet is, as the name indicates, a giant in the world of betting and can only be used for horse racing. When placing a Goliath bet, you are betting on 8 outcomes in 8 different events on 247 betslips which are split into 28 doubles, 56 trebles, 70 fourfold accumulators, 56 fivefold accumulators, 28 sixfold accumulators, 8 sevenfold accumulators and 1 eightfold accumulator. At least 2 of the outcomes must be correct for you to get a return on the Goliath bet. The winning odds are multiplied with each other and then the stake to determine your return.
Example of a goliath bet
For example, if you play a Goliath bet with a stake of £1 on each betslip (£247 in total) on horse 1 to win race 1 at odds 6/4, horse 2 to win race 2 at odds 6/4, horse 3 to win race 3 at odds 1/1 (Evens), horse 4 to win race 4 at odds 1/1 (Evens), horse 5 to win race 5 at odds 6/4, horse 6 to win race 6 at odds 6/4, horse 7 to win race 7 at odds 1/1 (Evens) and horse 8 to win race 8 at odds 1/1 (Evens) your return can range from £4 to £12136.06 depending on which horses win their respective races. If only 1 of the horses win their race your stake is lost.
Pros and cons of a goliath bet
The pro of a Goliath bet is that you can get a hefty return if you get at least 6 out of the 8 outcomes correct with odds around 1/1 (Evens) and 6/4. The con of a Goliath bet is that you need a big bankroll and a lot of betting experience to be successful with this giant bet.

How to use the bet calculator
It's easy to use the Unibet Betting Odds Calculator. First, you need to decide which type of bet you want, of which we have many, from singles, accumulators to Goliaths and Lucky 15s, 31 s and 63s.
Once you've chosen, select your bet type on the calculator (which we've broken out with easy navigational links in the menu) and then decide if you want the odds to be displayed in a fractional or decimal format in the top right corner.
After that, you'll need to input your stake - how much you want to bet. You'll then want to decide if that bet is each way, add any rule 4s, and whether you want to see the selection notes or fold options. We've put a tooltip text over some of these, to give you some explanation if they're unfamiliar. Finally, enter the odds and the outcome: Winner, Lost, Void and/or Dead Heat. If there are multiple selections you would like to make, enter the odds for each one. Simply click the 'Calculate Now' option and both your potential return and profit will be displayed for you.
