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 selections/legs of the bet.

Types of Accumulator Bet

Double – the bet with two selections/legs is known as Double.

Treble – the bet with three selections/legs is known as Treble.

Four-fold – the bet with four selections/legs is known as a Four-fold Accumulator.

Five-fold – the bet with five selections/legs is known as a Five-fold Accumulator.

Six-fold – the bet with six selections/legs is known as a Six-fold Accumulator.

Seven-fold – the bet with seven selections/legs is known as a Seven-fold Accumulator.

Eight-fold – the bet with eight selections/legs is known as an Eight-fold Accumulator.

It is common to find that there is no specific upper limit of legs for accumulator bets, but most online sports betting platforms offer accumulator bets with a maximum of 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 an 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 four crucial matches on the list.

Matches	Home	Draw	Away
Chelsea vs Liverpool	3/2	1/2	3/1
Arsenal vs Tottenham	6/5	4/3	3/2
Man United vs Everton	7/5	5/3	7/4
Man City vs Aston Villa	3/2	5/2	3/1

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.

Chelsea vs Liverpool — Bet on Chelsea to win at 3/2 or 2.5 odds

Arsenal vs Tottenham — Bet on Liverpool to win at 6/5 or 2.2 odds

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, and 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’s see what the outcome of the bet will be and how much you will win with this ACCA.

You put an initial bet of £ 10 on this accumulator; if Chelsea wins the match, according to 2.5 odds, your return from the first match will be £25. Now, this £25 will be your bet for the second match, and if Arsenal wins the second match, according to 2.2 odds, your return from the second match will be £55. The third bet will be £55 for the third match, and if Man United win, your return from this match will be £132. Then the £132 will be your stake for the last game, and if Man City wins, according to 2.5 odds, you will walk away with a whopping return from the fourth match will be £330.

In the above example of a four-fold accumulator, the total profit from £10 stake is £320, and including the £10 stake, your total return is £ 330. This type of bet requires no complex calculations; you can easily calculate your profit and return using the following formulas.
