From all various types of predictions, banker bet is the one we know least about. It is known as a different way to place a bet than a standard betting slips, where you choose one or more results and then hope they all win.
This definition of banker refers to a sure thing or a certain bet. Basically, the bet that you are most confident about will be your banker bet. In this guide we will take a look into basics and introduce you to the world of this type of bets at prediction sites online.
A banker bet is a part of a system bet (like an accumulator, for example) that must succeed, otherwise the entire wager fails. Because of the importance of the banker bet succeeding, the bettor will usually choose their banker bet to be the bet within the system that they feel has the highest probability of success

You are committed to your banker team winning, but you are free to choose whether you believe one or both of the other results will go your way, and can choose to place doubles or treble accordingly.
Of course, if your banker team loses it’s game over, but if they win and you have chosen to place double bets, you then just have to hope that at least one of the other two manages to do likewise so that you can collect your winnings.
The big advantage of placing a banker bet is that all is not necessarily lost just because you have one bad result, as it is the case with an accumulator bet. So long as you have chosen your banker wisely, your bet will remain live even if not all other picks in the selection go your way.
