Accumulator Betting

An accumulator bet, otherwise known as an acca, parlay, combo bet or multi is where a punter creates a single bet with a sportsbook that links together multiple individual wagers and is dependent on all individual bets winning.

Accumulators benefit from much higher payoffs, especially when compared with single bets. This makes accumulator betting a very popular bet type with casual punters looking to achieve large returns with smaller stakes. Though, experts warn, "In predicting several different factors for a fixture, you have more chance to lose the bet". As such it is important to remember that accumulator bets larger than a treble more often than not lose.

Unlike trixie, patent, yankee and lucky fifteen bets, if a single bet loses in an accumulator, the whole bet is lost.
