How do you calculate a Accumulator Bet?
An accumulator links together multiple bets and is popular within many sports. There is a horse racing accumulator, as you would expect, but acca bets abound in football. To explain why, just think of betting £5 on the outcome of eight Premier League fixtures. Your outlay would be £40, and with typically conservative odds a clean sweep across the board might net you around £90. But with an acca covering all eight matches, your accumulating odds would be more like 200/1 and you would stand to win around £1,000 – all for a £5 stake.
It’s the cascading effect which makes an accumulator bet so appealing – but remember there’s no margin for error. Lose one bet and you lose them all. Nevertheless, it’s a big win for a small stake and you can always use an online acca bet calculator to check your potential profit before you commit.
Bet Breakdown
What is a Accumulator bet?
The term 'accumulator', or 'acca' for short, describes a single bet which contains four or more selections. The important thing to remember about accumulator bets is that, before the bet pays out, each of the predictions must come true. But if they do, the net outcome of your bet could prove very rewarding indeed.
Accumulator betting is especially popular with football fans. The challenge of predicting four separate results with the added incentive of combined ‘rollover’ odds producing big wins for a relatively small stake mean the accumulator bet has become a mainstay of football culture.
