🧠 What Are Accumulator Bets?

Accumulator bets—also known as accas, multiples, or parlays—combine multiple selections into a single wager. Instead of placing separate bets on individual outcomes, you group them together to increase your potential payout.

  • Each selection in an accumulator is called a leg.

  • All legs must win for your bet to be successful.

  • The odds multiply, so even small stakes can lead to significant returns.


⚙️ How Do Accumulator Bets Work?

Let’s walk through an example:

⚽ Example: Premier League Acca

You bet on three Premier League match outcomes:

  • Arsenal to win @ 1.50

  • Manchester United to win @ 1.30

  • Liverpool to win @ 1.28

Instead of placing 3 individual bets, you combine them into a 3-leg accumulator. The odds are multiplied:

  • Total odds = 1.50 × 1.30 × 1.28 = 2.50

  • Stake = £10

  • Potential Return = £25.01 (if all teams win)

🔟 You can include up to 10 legs in a single acca. But remember, more legs = higher risk.


🔄 Mixing and Matching Legs

You can combine legs across different sports or leagues, as long as they’re not correlated.

✅ Allowed Combinations

  • Match Winner (Game A) + Total Goals Over/Under (Game B)

❌ Not Allowed (Correlated Bets)

  • First Goalscorer + Anytime Goalscorer for the same player in the same match

👉 If your acca includes correlated selections, our system will flag it and ask you to revise your bet.


❓ What Happens If a Leg Is Cancelled?

If a leg is voided—e.g., due to match cancellation—it’s automatically removed from your acca. The system recalculates your odds based on the remaining legs.

🎯 Example:

Original 3-leg acca:

  • Leg 1: Arsenal to win @ 1.50

  • Leg 2: Cancelled match

  • Leg 3: Liverpool to win @ 1.10

  • Original odds = 2.50

  • Adjusted odds = 1.50 × 1.10 = 1.65


🛠️ Bet Builder Accumulators

You can also include Bet Builder selections in your accumulator. These follow specific rules:

  • If any leg of a Bet Builder is voided, all selections within that Bet Builder will be removed from the acca.

  • The rest of your acca continues with adjusted odds.

🏀 Example:

  • 4-leg Football Bet Builder

  • 2-leg Basketball Bet Builder

    • If one basketball leg is voided, both legs are removed.

    • Football legs remain active.
