What Is an Accumulator Bet and How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n
\n
An accumulator bet builds on one winning selection to another to stack up high-volume payouts.<\/strong> Any multiple selection bet can be considered to be an accumulator, or acca<\/strong> for short. The idea is that with each winning selection, the payout from one selection becomes the stake for the next. This way, even though you may have staked very little at the outset, by the end your stake should have added up to a significant sum, thus generating a hefty outcome.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n In order for an accumulator to be successful, each of your picks must win,<\/strong> whatever the event might be. These bets can work on any or all sports, even at the same time. It doesn\u2019t matter if you have picked out one or two horses for the afternoon\u2019s top racing meet and added in some football selections from that night\u2019s fixture list – you may even have a strong feeling for an NFL match going off in the US overnight, for example.<\/p>\n\n
\n Accas can include winning teams, players, horses <\/strong>or even diverse football markets,<\/strong> such as Both Teams To Score (BTTS)<\/strong> or Over\/Under <\/strong>a certain number of goals being scored. All of these can work together in one multiple selection accumulator. That said, mixing your sports in an acca may affect potential boosts<\/strong> and insurance promotions <\/strong>with some UK bookmakers<\/a>, so you have to be careful when placing an acca. <\/p>\n\n
\n While acca boosts fizz up your betting odds<\/a><\/strong> if you have enough selections, acca insurance<\/strong> often pays out if one of your picks lets you down. If you don\u2019t have insurance, then always remember that many bookies offer a cash out<\/strong> option too.<\/p>\n\n
\n Accumulator betting is one of the most exciting forms of betting because, other than the obvious excitement and thrills it can generate, you could be betting like a high roller come the climax despite only staking minor cash amounts when you put the bet<\/a><\/strong> on.<\/p>\n\n
Which Sports Are Popular for Accumulator Betting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n
\n This kind of betting is an incredibly popular option for punters due to its simplicity and its inclusiveness. The happy fact is that many sports are great for this sort of betting!<\/p>\n\n

Football<\/strong> is, without question, the most popular sport for accumulator betting. Bookmakers offer an array of matches from across the globe every day, while a ton of markets are provided, too, resulting in many options for bettors to enjoy. A weekly football accumulator bet on a Saturday afternoon sounds like a perfect way to celebrate the weekend, as far as we are concerned!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

Once again, the sheer volume of horse racing<\/strong> events means this sport is practically tailor-made for accumulator betting, with a wide variety of horses and jockeys to choose from every day. More niche accas, such as the Lucky 15,<\/strong> are popular options for punters. The difficulty of selecting numerous race winners, however, means that each-way accas<\/strong> are also common. With the latter, your selected horses merely need to place for you to earn a return.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

Tennis<\/strong> is another acca-friendly sport with a multitude of matches typically played on the same day, along with American sports, <\/strong>which are also growing in popularity in Europe. Spread betting accas<\/strong> are also common. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The Most Popular Types of Accumulator Bets<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Various sports suit particular types of accumulator bets. Here are a few different variants of popular accumulators offered by bookmakers and used by punters.<\/p>\n\n
\n Doubles, Trebles and Four-Fold Bets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Numerically, these are very easy bets to understand. As we outlined in the table above, most of these bets are so named by the number of picks they contain. Importantly, these are all straightforward bets in which it only takes one losing selection<\/strong> to bring the whole bet crashing down. Naturally, the likelihood of getting more winning selections decreases the more picks you include. But, conversely, as the likelihood drifts outward, so too do the odds, and 20 winning selections will play significantly more than a mere treble<\/a>. That said, if you have a feeling for some long-odds outside winners, then even doubles can pay well<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
\n Yankees, Canadians and Other Bets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Yankees<\/a><\/strong>, Canadians<\/a><\/strong> and their higher selection relation bets are often labelled as system bets<\/a><\/strong> or full cover bets.<\/strong> The idea behind full cover bets is simple: they take all the possible mini-accas and group them up into as many bets as possible, but in this case minus the singles. So, four selections becomes 11 bets.<\/strong> Why? Because if we boil down the bet into mini-accas we can see that there are six doubles, four trebles<\/strong> and one four-fold,<\/strong> hence eleven. Just one extra selection makes all the difference as we jump from eleven bets to 26! This 26-bet wager<\/strong> is known as a Canadian,<\/strong> or in some parts as a Super Yankee,<\/strong> but the concept itself remains the same. It groups up the doubles and trebles, four folds and five-fold within this bet, and you put an equal sum behind each one. So, a \u00a31 Canadian is a \u00a326 lay <\/strong>– but remember, these do not include singles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
\n Lucky 15, Lucky 31 Bets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n
$\"Lucky$
The same four selections in a Lucky 15, also Paddy Power<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n As per the table, Luckies are the same as the other full cover bets but with added singles.<\/strong> So, for example, a Yankee is four selections and makes up 11 bets. If we now add the four single selections to the pot, we now have 11 + 4 which adds up to 15, i.e. all the ingredients for a Lucky 15 bet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> This particular bet is popular among horse racing<\/strong> punters.<\/p>\n\n
\n Similarly, five selections make up a Canadian (26 bets), but when we add on the five singles, we have created a 31 selection bet<\/strong> which is called – you guessed it – a Lucky 31<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Basically, so long as you haven\u2019t picked a full house of losers, you should get at least something back on a single.<\/p>\n\n
\n Alphabet Bet\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n One of the more obscure and unusual multiple selection bet is the powerful alphabet. This is a six-selection wager <\/strong>that includes a six-fold acca.<\/strong> However, in an alphabet, picks one through three make up a patent,<\/strong> while four, five and six form a second patent.<\/strong> On top of this, picks two through five form a Yankee.<\/strong> So, if a Yankee is eleven bets and there are two seven bet patents – plus a one line straight six-fold acca – we have a wager that is made up of 26 bets.<\/strong> It is however important in which order you mark down your picks with this bet.<\/p>\n\n
How To Create an Accumulator Bet<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Creating an accumulator with any bookmaker is a simple process. Here\u2019s what the process might look like if you\u2019re trying to place a football accumulator bet with a popular bookie:<\/p>\n\n
\n Access the \u2018Football\u2019 or \u2018Soccer\u2019 section.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Check out the list of upcoming matches across various leagues and competitions.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Select the type of bet you want to make on a particular match. Note: your accumulator can consist of various markets, but you cannot have two different markets from the same match included.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Make your selections.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Access your bet slip, which will show all your selections.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Often, an accumulator will have been automatically generated.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Enter your stake.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n Place your bet!<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ol>\n\n
\n The steps are basically the same when creating an acca on any other sport you wish.<\/p>\n\n
Football Accumulator Betting Tips & Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n
\n As is the way in betting, there are always steps we can take to ensure we have the best possible outcome when laying football accumulator bets. Of course, it isn\u2019t as simple as saying \u201cdo this and you are guaranteed to win\u201d – there are no such assurances in sport, and that\u2019s why we love it. But, all that being said, we can do our best to bend the odds in our favour. For your benefit, we have listed a few of these below.<\/p>\n\n
\n 1. Try Alternative Betting Markets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Remember, if you do have a good feeling about your selections faring well in an outright wins acca, then you are always able to group up other bets into the same accumulator options. Examples of these could be Both Teams To Score<\/strong><\/a>, Win To Nil<\/a>, Handicaps<\/a>, To Win Both Halves<\/a>, Over\/Under goals<\/a> <\/strong>or any of your preferred betting markets, all depending on what you believe is the most likely outcome from that day\u2019s action.<\/p>\n\n
\n 2. Study the Stats\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Be it football, horses, golf or whatever, your best bet to pick up big winnings with an acca<\/a><\/strong> is to undertake critical research beforehand. Any data and up-to-date statistics that you need can be found online, so there is no excuse to ever lay an under-researched acca. If you are betting on the horses, remember that all runners' form is available for free and published daily, as are last-minute, real-time ground reports and weather forecasts. We\u2019ve also got our own TPP racecards page<\/strong><\/a> with all the info you need.<\/p>\n\n
\n If it\u2019s a football acca, then make sure you know how well teams and players are performing at the moment, as well as the latest team news. You can also make use of our football stats page<\/strong>.<\/a> It sounds obvious, but the lazy, uninformed bettor will seldom do well. That said, it\u2019s not impossible, as you'll see from our list of the most notorious accumulator winners at the end of this article!<\/p>\n\n
\n 3. Be Ready To Cash Out\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n One thing that the stats might tell you is whether or not a team might be likely to concede during a match, which will help you decide whether or not to cash out your acca early<\/a>.<\/strong> Cashing out is a clause in betting where you can settle your bet ahead of time<\/strong> to either avoid losing everything or to claw back what you can. While this feature can apply to many different bets, it is perhaps most prevalent in accumulator betting, where one defeat can bring the whole bet crashing down. Of course, some bookies offer acca insurance<\/strong> which ensures you'll still get paid out if one of your selections loses.<\/p>\n\n
\n 4. Make Use of Acca Offers\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n If you are going to use accumulators, then be sure to make the most of acca insurance offers<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>where you can at least get your stake back<\/strong> (as a free bet in most cases) in the inevitable circumstance that one selection does indeed scupper your wager. Most top UK betting sites offer some form of insurance or boost on accumulator bets, as well other forms of accumulator promotions<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
Popular Football Markets for Accumulator Betting<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Here are some of the most popular football markets for acca bets:<\/p>\n\n
\n Full Time Result<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n This is the staple market of football accumulator betting. You\u2019re merely backing the teams which you think will win the match (after 90 minutes), but you can also include projected drawn games in your acca to potentially bolster the odds. Check out our full time results stats<\/strong><\/a> page to give you a helping hand.<\/p>\n\n
\n Both Teams to Score (BTTS)<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n We all enjoy betting on games laden with goals, and the Both Teams to Score market (first popularised by Betfred) certainly meets those desires. Here, you can pick whether you think both teams will score in a particular game or not and add those selections to create an acca – the match outcome is totally irrelevant. If you\u2019re wondering how teams normally fare in this regard, we\u2019ve got a detailed BTTS stats page<\/strong><\/a> set up to help you out.<\/p>\n\n
\n Over\/Under Goals<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n The Over\/Under Goals market offers plenty of options for football bettors. While 2.5<\/strong> is often the default marking point when it comes to utilising this market in accumulators. you can introduce various over\/under markets. Over 1.5 goals accas<\/strong> are pretty popular, but you have to include a large number of selections to garner sufficient value. Naturally, we\u2019ve got a stats for all of Over 1.5 Goals<\/strong><\/a>, Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/a>, and even Over 3.5 Goals<\/strong><\/a> readily available to help with your next acca.<\/p>\n\n
\n Anytime Goal Scorer<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n This is another market that has risen exponentially in popularity following the emergence of online betting, and thus, accumulators of its kind are becoming more popular, too. In this case, you\u2019re backing several players in different games to find themselves on the scoresheet. These sorts of bets garner huge returns<\/strong> due to their difficulty to nail. If you want to check out the scoring frequency of any player cross the top European leagues, check out our football goals stats<\/strong><\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n
\n Win & BTTS<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n This is a tough market to master, yet it remains popular among football bettors. Typically, punters will include just a couple of Win & BTTS selections in their acca because the odds are HUGE. To win this type of bet, your selected team must win with both teams scoring in the game.<\/strong> For example, if you back Liverpool to beat Real Madrid with BTTS, a 2-1 win for the Reds would mean that your bet is successful. You can also back Draw<\/strong> With BTTS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n Double Chance<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n The market of the underdog! Double chance means you essentially have two chances for your bet to be successful.<\/strong> You\u2019re either backing a home win or draw, away win or draw, or either side to win. Unsurprisingly, odds here are considerably lower compared to the Full Time Result market, but this is an intriguing option for acca bettors. You might fancy sneaking one or two Double Chance selections in an FT result acca.<\/p>\n\n
Advantages of Accumulator Bets<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n There are two very obvious reasons why bettors enjoy playing accumulator lines – the first of which is that the long odds that multiple selections can create typically make for large payouts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n It will come as no surprise that another reason for their immense popularity is that they are, of course, highly entertaining and great fun,<\/strong> especially if all of your selections are going off and coming in at different times, which takes the tension and the thrills right up to the max.<\/p>\n\n
Are Accumulator Bets Worth It?<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Despite their popularity, a wide body of punters (including many experts) say that accumulator bets should be avoided<\/strong> if bettors are looking to make a serious profit. The reason for this essentially comes down to value and variance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n Value<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n You\u2019ve backed a bet because you believe the odds are wrong. The odds offered are of value.<\/p>\n\n
\n Let's assume you have four value selections, which individually are best priced with four different bookmakers. If you put together a four-fold, you\u2019ve already limited yourself to reduced odds, as you would have to place the bet with a single bookmaker.<\/p>\n\n
\n You are also losing out because of the bookies\u2019 overround<\/a><\/strong> (profitability). In each individual market, bookmakers have an edge.<\/p>\n\n
\n Now, let's imagine a coin toss. Both heads and tails have a 50% chance of occurring. Yet in a market with two simple outcomes that a bookmaker can\u2019t split, they\u2019ll offer you a 5\/6 or 10\/11 split. Here, you aren\u2019t obtaining true value.<\/p>\n\n
\n By combining multiple selections, you\u2019re enhancing the bookie's edge. In the long run, they the ones who stand to make the most profit \u2013 this is why bookies are so keen to offer promotions and offers when it comes to multiple betting.<\/p>\n\n
\n Sidenote:<\/strong><\/em> If all of your selections are best priced with the same bookmaker, then this in fact increases your edge if you include them in a multiple bet. It is extremely rare that this may happen, however, although in the more \u2018obscure' markets it can be done.<\/p>\n\n
\n Variance<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n How many times have you \u2018missed by one'? Too many, right? As close as you were, you lost. You saw no return on your stake. However, had you backed each of your selections as singles, the likelihood is that you'd have made a profit.<\/p>\n\n
\n Variance is the idea that sometimes, you will lose.<\/strong> Various factors affect the outcome of a sporting event, such as luck, fine margins, individual decisions\u2026 even the weather!<\/p>\n\n
\n Stick to Singles<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n According to this group of punters who question whether accumulator bets are worth it, by spreading your stakes across various single bets,<\/strong> you can reduce the effect of variance. The more bets you spread your stakes across, the more likely you are to win, assuming you\u2019re finding value which suggests the odds are wrong. So, if you do your research correctly, you will be more likely to see a profit over a wider sample of bets.<\/p>\n\n
\n Furthermore, backing singles can be more sustainable. With single bets, it is easier to both find and work out value. It is also simpler to calculate the chance of an individual event happening rather than multiple in tandem. Therefore, in the long run, you can end up in a better position.<\/p>\n\n

Frankie\u2019s Magnificent Seven At Ascot<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Way back in 1996, Englishman Darren Yates<\/strong> laid a \u00a367.58 wager on a single day acca at Ascot in which he backed the unlikely outcome that the same jockey, Italian horse racing legend Frankie Dettori, would win each of the seven races on the card of that day. Famously, that is exactly what happened when Dettori pulled off what came to be known as the Magnificent Seven<\/strong><\/a>, an achievement that went down in horsey history. As for Yates, he raked in \u00a3550,823 in return,<\/strong> and is today famous for reinvesting his good fortune back into the so-called sport of kings that has served him so well. Having started out buying cheap horses to race, these days he is making the headlines for spending vast sums on horses to win, and in 2019 spent a record \u00a3620,000 to get hold of a relation of the magnificent Sprinter Sacre.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Whiteley\u2019s World Record Win<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n The biggest accumulator win in the world came in March 2011, when British plumbing engineer Steve Whiteley<\/a><\/strong>, who describes himself as “not being a horse racing man”, won a whopping \u00a31.45 million<\/strong> from a teeny tiny \u00a32 wager.<\/strong> On the day, Whiteley, from Tawton in Devon, played the Exeter Tote Jackpot and selected six winners on a line – he was only in attendance because of a free promotion. By the end of the day, this otherwise non-bettor was a millionaire.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

From Craggs To Riches<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Horse racing was once again the sport of choice here, as 60-year-old Fred Craggs <\/strong>from Thirsk in North Yorkshire beat the odds of two million to one, scooping up a cool \u00a31 million<\/strong> from a mere 50p eight-horse accumulator bet.<\/strong> In what proved to be a big week for the fertiliser salesman, it was also his 60th birthday at the weekend which he celebrated by sitting through a family meal without telling anyone. A William Hill spokesman said the bet was “the most amazing ever” since betting shops were made legal in 1961. In another odd twist of fate, the eight horse in his set just so happened to be called A Dream Come True, which surely had to be a sign!<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Here are a few different variants of popular accumulators offered by bookmakers and used by punters.<\/p>\n\n \n Doubles, Trebles and Four-Fold Bets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Numerically, these are very easy bets to understand. As we outlined in the table above, most of these bets are so named by the number of picks they contain. Importantly, these are all straightforward bets in which it only takes one losing selection<\/strong> to bring the whole bet crashing down. Naturally, the likelihood of getting more winning selections decreases the more picks you include. But, conversely, as the likelihood drifts outward, so too do the odds, and 20 winning selections will play significantly more than a mere treble<\/a>. That said, if you have a feeling for some long-odds outside winners, then even doubles can pay well<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n \n Yankees, Canadians and Other Bets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Yankees<\/a><\/strong>, Canadians<\/a><\/strong> and their higher selection relation bets are often labelled as system bets<\/a><\/strong> or full cover bets.<\/strong> The idea behind full cover bets is simple: they take all the possible mini-accas and group them up into as many bets as possible, but in this case minus the singles. So, four selections becomes 11 bets.<\/strong> Why? Because if we boil down the bet into mini-accas we can see that there are six doubles, four trebles<\/strong> and one four-fold,<\/strong> hence eleven. Just one extra selection makes all the difference as we jump from eleven bets to 26! This 26-bet wager<\/strong> is known as a Canadian,<\/strong> or in some parts as a Super Yankee,<\/strong> but the concept itself remains the same. It groups up the doubles and trebles, four folds and five-fold within this bet, and you put an equal sum behind each one. So, a \u00a31 Canadian is a \u00a326 lay <\/strong>– but remember, these do not include singles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n \n Lucky 15, Lucky 31 Bets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n $\"Lucky$ The same four selections in a Lucky 15, also Paddy Power<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n \n As per the table, Luckies are the same as the other full cover bets but with added singles.<\/strong> So, for example, a Yankee is four selections and makes up 11 bets. If we now add the four single selections to the pot, we now have 11 + 4 which adds up to 15, i.e. all the ingredients for a Lucky 15 bet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> This particular bet is popular among horse racing<\/strong> punters.<\/p>\n\n \n Similarly, five selections make up a Canadian (26 bets), but when we add on the five singles, we have created a 31 selection bet<\/strong> which is called – you guessed it – a Lucky 31<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0Basically, so long as you haven\u2019t picked a full house of losers, you should get at least something back on a single.<\/p>\n\n \n Alphabet Bet\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n One of the more obscure and unusual multiple selection bet is the powerful alphabet. This is a six-selection wager <\/strong>that includes a six-fold acca.<\/strong> However, in an alphabet, picks one through three make up a patent,<\/strong> while four, five and six form a second patent.<\/strong> On top of this, picks two through five form a Yankee.<\/strong> So, if a Yankee is eleven bets and there are two seven bet patents – plus a one line straight six-fold acca – we have a wager that is made up of 26 bets.<\/strong> It is however important in which order you mark down your picks with this bet.<\/p>\n\n How To Create an Accumulator Bet<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n \n Creating an accumulator with any bookmaker is a simple process. Here\u2019s what the process might look like if you\u2019re trying to place a football accumulator bet with a popular bookie:<\/p>\n\n \n Access the \u2018Football\u2019 or \u2018Soccer\u2019 section.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Check out the list of upcoming matches across various leagues and competitions.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Select the type of bet you want to make on a particular match. Note: your accumulator can consist of various markets, but you cannot have two different markets from the same match included.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Make your selections.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Access your bet slip, which will show all your selections.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Often, an accumulator will have been automatically generated.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Enter your stake.<\/p><\/div><\/li> \n Place your bet!<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ol>\n\n \n The steps are basically the same when creating an acca on any other sport you wish.<\/p>\n\n Football Accumulator Betting Tips & Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n \n As is the way in betting, there are always steps we can take to ensure we have the best possible outcome when laying football accumulator bets. Of course, it isn\u2019t as simple as saying \u201cdo this and you are guaranteed to win\u201d – there are no such assurances in sport, and that\u2019s why we love it. But, all that being said, we can do our best to bend the odds in our favour. For your benefit, we have listed a few of these below.<\/p>\n\n \n 1. Try Alternative Betting Markets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Remember, if you do have a good feeling about your selections faring well in an outright wins acca, then you are always able to group up other bets into the same accumulator options. Examples of these could be Both Teams To Score<\/strong><\/a>, Win To Nil<\/a>, Handicaps<\/a>, To Win Both Halves<\/a>, Over\/Under goals<\/a> <\/strong>or any of your preferred betting markets, all depending on what you believe is the most likely outcome from that day\u2019s action.<\/p>\n\n \n 2. Study the Stats\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n Be it football, horses, golf or whatever, your best bet to pick up big winnings with an acca<\/a><\/strong> is to undertake critical research beforehand. Any data and up-to-date statistics that you need can be found online, so there is no excuse to ever lay an under-researched acca. If you are betting on the horses, remember that all runners' form is available for free and published daily, as are last-minute, real-time ground reports and weather forecasts. We\u2019ve also got our own TPP racecards page<\/strong><\/a> with all the info you need.<\/p>\n\n \n If it\u2019s a football acca, then make sure you know how well teams and players are performing at the moment, as well as the latest team news. You can also make use of our football stats page<\/strong>.<\/a> It sounds obvious, but the lazy, uninformed bettor will seldom do well. That said, it\u2019s not impossible, as you'll see from our list of the most notorious accumulator winners at the end of this article!<\/p>\n\n \n 3. Be Ready To Cash Out\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n One thing that the stats might tell you is whether or not a team might be likely to concede during a match, which will help you decide whether or not to cash out your acca early<\/a>.<\/strong> Cashing out is a clause in betting where you can settle your bet ahead of time<\/strong> to either avoid losing everything or to claw back what you can. While this feature can apply to many different bets, it is perhaps most prevalent in accumulator betting, where one defeat can bring the whole bet crashing down. Of course, some bookies offer acca insurance<\/strong> which ensures you'll still get paid out if one of your selections loses.<\/p>\n\n \n 4. Make Use of Acca Offers\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n If you are going to use accumulators, then be sure to make the most of acca insurance offers<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>where you can at least get your stake back<\/strong> (as a free bet in most cases) in the inevitable circumstance that one selection does indeed scupper your wager. Most top UK betting sites offer some form of insurance or boost on accumulator bets, as well other forms of accumulator promotions<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Popular Football Markets for Accumulator Betting<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n \n Here are some of the most popular football markets for acca bets:<\/p>\n\n \n Full Time Result<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n This is the staple market of football accumulator betting. You\u2019re merely backing the teams which you think will win the match (after 90 minutes), but you can also include projected drawn games in your acca to potentially bolster the odds. Check out our full time results stats<\/strong><\/a> page to give you a helping hand.<\/p>\n\n \n Both Teams to Score (BTTS)<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n We all enjoy betting on games laden with goals, and the Both Teams to Score market (first popularised by Betfred) certainly meets those desires. Here, you can pick whether you think both teams will score in a particular game or not and add those selections to create an acca – the match outcome is totally irrelevant. If you\u2019re wondering how teams normally fare in this regard, we\u2019ve got a detailed BTTS stats page<\/strong><\/a> set up to help you out.<\/p>\n\n \n Over\/Under Goals<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n The Over\/Under Goals market offers plenty of options for football bettors. While 2.5<\/strong> is often the default marking point when it comes to utilising this market in accumulators. you can introduce various over\/under markets. Over 1.5 goals accas<\/strong> are pretty popular, but you have to include a large number of selections to garner sufficient value. Naturally, we\u2019ve got a stats for all of Over 1.5 Goals<\/strong><\/a>, Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/a>, and even Over 3.5 Goals<\/strong><\/a> readily available to help with your next acca.<\/p>\n\n \n Anytime Goal Scorer<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n This is another market that has risen exponentially in popularity following the emergence of online betting, and thus, accumulators of its kind are becoming more popular, too. In this case, you\u2019re backing several players in different games to find themselves on the scoresheet. These sorts of bets garner huge returns<\/strong> due to their difficulty to nail. If you want to check out the scoring frequency of any player cross the top European leagues, check out our football goals stats<\/strong><\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n \n Win & BTTS<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n This is a tough market to master, yet it remains popular among football bettors. Typically, punters will include just a couple of Win & BTTS selections in their acca because the odds are HUGE. To win this type of bet, your selected team must win with both teams scoring in the game.<\/strong> For example, if you back Liverpool to beat Real Madrid with BTTS, a 2-1 win for the Reds would mean that your bet is successful. You can also back Draw<\/strong> With BTTS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \n Double Chance<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n The market of the underdog! Double chance means you essentially have two chances for your bet to be successful.<\/strong> You\u2019re either backing a home win or draw, away win or draw, or either side to win. Unsurprisingly, odds here are considerably lower compared to the Full Time Result market, but this is an intriguing option for acca bettors. You might fancy sneaking one or two Double Chance selections in an FT result acca.<\/p>\n\n Advantages of Accumulator Bets<\/h2>\n \n\n \n There are two very obvious reasons why bettors enjoy playing accumulator lines – the first of which is that the long odds that multiple selections can create typically make for large payouts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \n It will come as no surprise that another reason for their immense popularity is that they are, of course, highly entertaining and great fun,<\/strong> especially if all of your selections are going off and coming in at different times, which takes the tension and the thrills right up to the max.<\/p>\n\n Are Accumulator Bets Worth It?<\/h2>\n \n\n \n Despite their popularity, a wide body of punters (including many experts) say that accumulator bets should be avoided<\/strong> if bettors are looking to make a serious profit. The reason for this essentially comes down to value and variance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n \n Value<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n You\u2019ve backed a bet because you believe the odds are wrong. The odds offered are of value.<\/p>\n\n \n Let's assume you have four value selections, which individually are best priced with four different bookmakers. If you put together a four-fold, you\u2019ve already limited yourself to reduced odds, as you would have to place the bet with a single bookmaker.<\/p>\n\n \n You are also losing out because of the bookies\u2019 overround<\/a><\/strong> (profitability). In each individual market, bookmakers have an edge.<\/p>\n\n \n Now, let's imagine a coin toss. Both heads and tails have a 50% chance of occurring. Yet in a market with two simple outcomes that a bookmaker can\u2019t split, they\u2019ll offer you a 5\/6 or 10\/11 split. Here, you aren\u2019t obtaining true value.<\/p>\n\n \n By combining multiple selections, you\u2019re enhancing the bookie's edge. In the long run, they the ones who stand to make the most profit \u2013 this is why bookies are so keen to offer promotions and offers when it comes to multiple betting.<\/p>\n\n \n Sidenote:<\/strong><\/em> If all of your selections are best priced with the same bookmaker, then this in fact increases your edge if you include them in a multiple bet. It is extremely rare that this may happen, however, although in the more \u2018obscure' markets it can be done.<\/p>\n\n \n Variance<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n How many times have you \u2018missed by one'? Too many, right? As close as you were, you lost. You saw no return on your stake. However, had you backed each of your selections as singles, the likelihood is that you'd have made a profit.<\/p>\n\n \n Variance is the idea that sometimes, you will lose.<\/strong> Various factors affect the outcome of a sporting event, such as luck, fine margins, individual decisions\u2026 even the weather!<\/p>\n\n \n Stick to Singles<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n According to this group of punters who question whether accumulator bets are worth it, by spreading your stakes across various single bets,<\/strong> you can reduce the effect of variance.

So, if you do your research correctly, you will be more likely to see a profit over a wider sample of bets.<\/p>\n\n \n Furthermore, backing singles can be more sustainable. With single bets, it is easier to both find and work out value. It is also simpler to calculate the chance of an individual event happening rather than multiple in tandem. Therefore, in the long run, you can end up in a better position.<\/p>\n\n Notorious Accumulator Betting Wins<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n\n\n While the odds of getting a huge accumulator win<\/a><\/strong> are stacked against you, big wins are not unheard of.
