Goliath mechanics & rules
The largest standard full-cover bet in the betting industry, offering astronomical compounding returns.
Payouts are determined by multiplying the unit stake by the cumulative price of each winning selection or combination line. If any selection is scratched or declared non-runner/void, standard rules settle that leg at neutral odds of 1.00.
Worked example: Goliath
At $0.10 per line ($24.70 total stake), if all 8 selections win at 2.00, all 247 bets win, returning $655.36 total payout ($630.66 net profit). At least 2 picks must win to generate any return.
Always check bookmaker maximum payout caps and race terms before placing high-volume system bets.

CALCULATOR QUESTIONS
Goliath questions
How does a void leg affect a goliath?
When a selection is void, postponed, or scratched, that specific leg counts as a 1.00 multiplier (money returned for that leg), and the multiple bet rolls down into the remaining folds.
What is the difference between unit stake and total stake?
Unit stake is the amount wagered on each individual bet or line. Total stake equals the unit stake multiplied by the total number of bets in the multiple or system wager.
Are gambling and betting winnings taxed?
Taxation of sports betting winnings varies by country; consult your local tax authority or revenue service.
