What is an ACCA Bet

No matter how many professional punters you ask, every single one will tell you that the only acceptable way to control your game and bankroll is to bet on singles. The more choices you add to your betslip, the more you rely on luck rather than intuition. However, contrary to the "professional" approach, accumulator bets remain an extremely popular way of betting for the vast majority of punters, from apprentices to seasoned pros.

The reason is quite simple: Although a multiple may have lower chances of coming through, it allows you to win far larger payouts. The fact that you have the possibility to multiply your initial stake significantly manages to outweigh the slight winning percentage. What seems even more appealing is that you can potentially win big without having to risk a lot of money. Stick if you want to learn more about what is an ACCA bet, as well as where to find the best promotions on combos. 

What is ACCA Betting

BMB_Question MarkFour different selections create one Acca, where the returns are calculated by multiplying all the odds with your stake. Obviously, the more markets you add to your bet slip, the greater the risk. However, if all selections are winners, the total profit will be significantly larger than Doubles or Trebles. Let’s take a practical example based on a simple 4-Fold Accumulator.

Sports - Events Matches Selections Odds
Tennis - Challenger Istanbul Nakashima vs. Rinderknech Rinderknech to WIN 2.10
Football - Italian Super Cup Juventus vs. Napoli Juventus to WIN 2.45
Ice Hockey - NHL Edmonton Oilers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Edmonton Oilers to WIN 2.30
Basketball - NBA Dallas Mavericks vs. Indiana Pacers Dallas Mavericks to WIN 1.90

👉 If all four selections are winners, the Total Returns with a €10 stake are:

4-Fold ACCA Return = Bet Amount x Rinderknech Odds x Juventus Odds x Edmonton Oilers Odds x Dallas Mavericks Odds = €10 x 2.10 x 2.45 x 2.30 x 1.90 = €224.83. According to our Accumulator Calculator, that means the Profit is €214.83.

If three of four selections are winners and, for example, Napoli beats Juventus, then the Total Returns are €0, and the Total Loss is -€10.

Comparing the 4-Fold ACCA with placing these selections on €2.50 Singles, the results are:

Bets Stakes Odds Total Returns
Rinderknech to WIN €2.50 2.10 €2.5 x 2.10 = €5.25
Juventus to WIN €2.50 2.45 €2.5 x 2.45 = 6.125
Edmonton Oilers to WIN €2.50 2.30 €2.5 x 2.30 = €5.75
Dallas Mavericks to WIN €2.50 1.90 €2.5 x 1.90 = €4.75

👉 If all four selections win, the Total Returns with a €10 stake are:

Return = Rinderknech to WIN Return + Juventus to WIN Return + Edmonton Oilers to WIN Return + Dallas Mavericks to WIN Return = €5.25 + €6.125 + €5.75 + €4.75 = €21.875 which is a smaller payout than the 4-Fold Accumulator (€224.83). Although, if three of the four selections are winners, there are some earnings in addition to the corresponding multiple.

Winning Probabilities of ACCA Betting

BMB_Implied_OddsTechnically a random betting choice can't be compared to another one, as it has different “real” possibilities of actually coming through. The only thing that remains the same is the mathematical winning percentage, which is significantly lower in football accumulator bets. Need an example? Let’s try a typical 3-way football match.

  • 1
    In singles betting, the theoretical winning possibility of every selection (Home Win, Draw, Away Win) stands at 33.333%.
  • 2
    When we bet on a double, we actually pick on ONE out of NINE possible outcomes, as BOTH your selections have to be confirmed in these two matches. Suppose that we bet on two Home Wins. We have staked our money on a 1 - 1 combination, with the other eight being 1-X, 1-2, X-1, X-X, X-2, 2-1, 2-X and 2-2. This means that, in theory, we only have an 11.111% possibility of winning the bet.
  • 3
    Things get even worse on trebles. Your theoretical chances of winning a treble bet stand at 3.703% as you pick one out of 27 possible combinations. For a fourfold, your chances of winning are only 1.234%, as you choose one of 81 possible combinations.

Although the possibilities might seem low, there’s no need to become disappointed or abandon your combos. These are only mathematical percentages, not actual chances derived from careful research and consideration. The actual chances of a winning parlay betting strategy are higher than these numbers. However, they still remain lower compared to any single bet. That’s what makes your possible profits become far larger.

Choosing the Right Accumulators

👉 Dealing with this type of wager requires that you realize that there’s a high risk of losing even by one selection. Many punters who favour it are fond of sharing stories of times they could have won a small fortune but for a missed match on a six-fold. That’s why there are alternative ways of gaining profit without having to risk too much.

Betting systems (Trixie, Yankee, Heinz etc.) are another type. Apart from the “fixed” ones, online bookmakers allow you to build your own pattern of football accumulators and even win despite losing one or two selections. For example, when you select five matches, it’s not obligatory to bet only in a straight bet containing all five selections or choose a Canadian system containing 26 different bets, from doubles to fivefold.

You can choose another approach, based on short odds. You can check to build this strategy following our low odds accumulators tips. Granted, the potential winnings will not be as high, but you considerably reduce the risk of losing your stake. You can make steady smaller profits that will end up improving your bankroll in the long run. 

Cashing out Acca Bets

👉 This kind of betting becomes more and more popular, especially if you include your acca bet matches that may start at different times. When four selections of your fivefold bet have been won and the last match starts in about half an hour, the temptation is high: Use the cash-out service and take the trimmed winnings or let your bet run its course until the end. This isn’t an easy decision and can depend on many factors. If you do decide to cash out, don’t blame yourself or feel guilty if the last selection comes through and could have awarded you more money.

Number of Selections and Odds

👉 Accumulator bets are a fine way to augment your potential winnings, but you shouldn’t overdo this. You’re strongly advised not to choose huge acca bets if there’s no good reason for this. Winning a sevenfold bet could mean a huge amount (almost all online bookmakers let you calculate your accumulator when you place the bet), but the chances of winning all selections are extremely small. You should start with doubles or trebles at first and then proceed to wider acca bets, as fewer selections let you better calculate the value.

What are the Best ACCA Bet Promos?

BMB_TrophyInsurance on multiples is one of the most popular offers on all major online betting sites. If one leg is a loser, you have the chance to receive your money back as cash or a Free Bet. To claim the ACCA Insurance Offers, choose a minimum of four, five, or more selections, depending on the terms, and check the odds requirements. Usually, the combined odds should be at least 4.00 (3/1).

Parlay Boost applies to all multiples, most commonly on football, and provides a percentage (%) bonus. That means a bonus payment on winning Accumulators up to 100% of the starting stake. To qualify for an ACCA Bonus, you must have minimum legs and odds for each selection and overall in your bet. It’s critical to read each bookmaker’s terms and evaluate the best percentage bonus. The number of selections and total odds required are also vital.

Moreover, Enhanced Odds is a daily and popular option among bettors, offered on a broad selection of sports and markets. It’s an essential chance to take advantage of the best-value bets receiving increased odds. For example, with a €10 at 4.50 total odds for an Accumulator Bet, your returns are €45. If your wager is placed with Enhanced Odds (e.g., 5.50), your potential winnings are €55. That means €10 more earnings.

FAQ
Q: What are the types of an ACCA Bet?

The smaller ACCAs that have less than four selections are called Trebles or Doubles. On an Accumulator Bet, there is no limit to the number of selections in the bet slip. Depending on how many picks you choose to place, there are 4-Fold ACCAs, 5-Folds, 6-Folds, etc.

Q: What is an Each Way Accumulator?

An E/W ACCA Bet consists of two legs; an ACCA where all selections are winners, and a second part where one or more selections are “To-Place.” These picks have accordingly updated odds depending on each bookmaker’s terms.

Q: What happens if a bet is void?

In the case of a void bet or a Non-Runner in a race, the returns are calculated, assuming the rest of the picks are winners as if you never included this selection in your betslip (i.e., a 5-Fold ACCA will become a 4-Fold).

Q: How does a Draw No Bet affect a multiple?

DNB (Draw No Bet) is a type of wager based on the selections of clear winners. If your preferred match is a draw, then the bet is canceled, and the stake is returned. So, in an ACCA Bet, that means the DNB leg is void, and the rest goes into action.

Q: On which sports can you place a combo bet?

ACCA Bets can be placed on all sports, but you can’t choose multiple markets from the same event. That’s the Bet Builder feature and it has a different betting structure. Moreover, Football and Horse Racing are the most popular sports for ACCA Betting.
