What is a system 5/6 (6 bets)? A 5/6 system consists of 6 bets which transpire from 6 picks -- six 5-pick multis (parlays). At least five of the six picks must be correct to gain some winnings - the exact amount of the winnings depends on how many of the predictions prove correct.

A system bet is made up of several combination and single bets. As soon as you have added at least 3 or more picks (up to 8) to the bet slip, you can place a system bet. To do so, click on the System  tab at the top of the bet slip. The number of possible system bets depends on the number of predicted outcomes.
