What is an Acca Football Bet

So What exactly is an Acca Football Bet?

Well firstly there are different types of Accumulators, which depend on the number of selections or legs in your bet. The bets with two or three selections are not commonly known as accumulators, but they follow the same rules as accumulators to win the bet, you can call them mini accumulators. There is no upper limit of legs for ACCAs, but most of the online bookmakers offer from four up to twenty legs accumulators, and they are given different names according to the number of selection/legs of the bet.

It is common to find that no specific upper limit of legs for accumulator bets, but most online Sports-betting platforms offer accumulator bets with maximum 20 selections/legs, and people also don’t want to take the risk of placing bets with higher legs. Most experienced gamblers generally prefer to bet with a four-fold and five-fold accumulator, as the chances of winning a grand prize are high, and going for higher legs can reduce their chances of winning.

Example of Accumulator bet

To help you understand accumulators in detail, let’s look at a practical example of an accumulator bet. Consider a scenario of four football matches to place a four-fold accumulator bet. It is a Premier League Football match day, and there are following four important matches in the list.

MatchesHomeDrawAway
Chelsea vs Liverpool3/21/23/1
Arsenal vs Tottenham6/54/33/2
Man United vs Everton7/55/37/4
Man City vs Aston Villa3/25/23/1

Let’s suppose that you place a four-fold accumulator bet on all four matches, and bet £10 on all four home teams to win. So basically you have chosen four selections/legs, and all of your selections must be correct to win the accumulator bet.

Man United vs Everton — Bet on Man United to win at 7/5 or 2.4 odds

Man City vs Aston Villa — Bet on Man City to win at 3/2 or 2.5 odds

Now there are two possibilities, one is that one or more of your selections become wrong, in that case you will lose the bet and all of your money. The second possibility is that all of your chosen selection/legs become true, in that case you will win the accumulator. Now let see, what will be the outcome of the bet and how much will you win with this ACCA.

A Forensic Review of the bet

From a bet of £10 and fraction odds, your return will be as follows:

Total Bet Returns = £10 * (3/2 + 1) * (6/5 + 1) * (7/5 + 1) * (3/2 + 1) = £330

Football Bet Profit = Total Returns – initial bet

Profit = £330 – £10 = £320

You can also calculate your return from decimal odds by using following formula:

Total Returns = £10 × 2.5 × 2.2 × 2.4 × 2.5 = £330
