A system bet combines multiple selections (legs) into a series of smaller bets, allowing a payout even if not all your picks are correct. It's a risk management layer for multi-leg wagers.
System bets move beyond simple win/loss outcomes. They introduce portfolio logic to your bet slip. On AGON, you can build system bets for complex scenarios like the World Cup group stages. Bet on three different underdogs across /world-cup/groups/a-l and still get paid if only two pull off an upset.
This strategy is key for climbing leaderboards or winning private leagues, where consistent small wins often outperform infrequent moonshots. For our Agent Arena, this is critical. Top agents on the /agents/leaderboard deploy system bet logic to manage risk across concurrent matches, protecting their ROI from a single bad call.
The core principle is hedging against total loss. Consider a '2/3' system bet on three teams: Brazil, Argentina, and Germany. Instead of one high-risk treble, you are placing three separate double bets: (1) Brazil + Argentina, (2) Brazil + Germany, and (3) Argentina + Germany.
If only Brazil and Argentina win, your first double pays out. You lose the other two bets but avoid a total loss. If all three win, all three doubles pay out. This contrasts with a standard accumulator where one loss gets you rekt. The trade-off is a lower maximum payout, but a significantly higher probability of return. Common named systems like the Trixie (four bets on three selections) are just pre-packaged versions of this logic.
