Well, it is recommended, but it doesn't mean it is reliable. Some gamblers also say that multi-bets give them a better chance. Whatever strategy we used, none of them ensured winning. Even if we say that a single bet has higher odds of winning, nothing could prove it.
So I say that to choose the strategy we believe will work for us or at least give us a chance to win. If others win using multiple bets, they were just lucky, and the same thing happens to those who choose a single bet.
