While single bets are more reliable than multi-bets, they still carry risks, as there’s no guarantee that every single bet will result in a win. However, they are lower risk compared to parlays, which require all your bets to be correct to win, making them significantly riskier than single bets. Therefore, the chances of winning with single bets are higher than with parlays, but that doesn’t mean single bets are entirely safe or reliable. Careful calculation is still required before placing a bet, as the risk of losing is still present, though not as significant as with parlays.
