What is bet builder?

A bet builder combines several selections from the same match into one bet. Every bookmaker here offers one, but the limits and void rules differ. The most important difference is what happens when one selection is void, for example a player who does not start. Some bookmakers void the whole bet, others recalculate at the remaining odds.

What happens if a player in my bet builder does not play?

It depends on the bookmaker. Some void the bet, some remove the leg and recalculate. Expand a row to read the exact rule.
