What Is A Football Accumulator?
A football accumulator is a popular betting selection which offers people the chance to combine two or more selections for bigger returns as the odds of the selections are combined. In order to win your bet all your selections must win otherwise you will lose your bet and stake.
How do Football Accumulators Work?
The reason why football accumulators are so popular is that with every extra match you bet on the total odds are multiplied. For example you choose to bet £10 on Man Utd to win at odds of 8/11 which will return £17.27. You also bet £10 on Arsenal to win at odds of 4/6 which returns £16.66. If these two results come in then you stand to make £13.93 profit. However if you add both of these selections in a football accumulator at odds of 8/11 and 4/6 you get combined odds of 1.89/1 meaning for a £10 stake you will get a return of £28.79, a profit of £18.79. Combining the bets in a football accumulator gets you more profit for a smaller outlay because betting on these two matches as singles you would have had to stake £20 whilst having them in an accumulator your stake is only £10 and you get more profit.
What Type Of Bets Can Be Put In An Accumulator?
When you place an accumulator you aren’t just limited to betting on straight wins, in fact there are a number of different betting types that are eligible to be placed in an accumulator.

As you can see there is an extensive variation of bets you can put in an accumulator. Its worth experimenting with other bets as you will get better odds for selections such as “handicap -1” rather than just picking the team to just win. Football accumulators are fun especially since you’ll find yourself cheering for a team who in normal circumstances you wouldn’t even think of cheering for. You can get some seriously high odds in a football accumulator however try not to pick too many teams because the more selections you pick the more chance your accumulator can fail.
