Why “Goliath”?
The name reflects the enormous scale of this bet. With 247 individual bets, even a modest unit stake results in a significant total outlay. The potential returns, however, are equally enormous if most or all selections win.
Example
$1 Goliath on 8 selections all at 2.00 (total stake: $247):
- If all 8 win: Return = $24,310 (profit $24,063)
- If 5 of 8 win: Substantial returns from combinations of doubles through five-folds
- If 2 of 8 win: Just 1 winning double — a heavy net loss on $247 staked
The Goliath is best suited to confident selections at reasonable odds. Even 4 or 5 winners can sometimes return a profit depending on the odds.
