Accumulator Bets
Accumulator bets are a great way to spread out your betting money across number games/races/matches. So rather than being only interested in the outcome of one game you have more games to keep an eye on. Like any type of betting system, this way betting has its own pros and cons.
The main advantage is that you have a chance to win a very good amount of money for very little original stake. If you win your games then your winnings are multiplied by the odds of the game.
For example say you bet on this accumulator:
$3 total bet on
Manchester United – Liverpool draw at 3.00
Real Madrid – Barcelona home win at 2.00
Lazio – Inter draw at 3.00
Your total win could be $54, giving you a total profit of $51. This is over 10 times the amount of your original stake.
The great thing is that even if you lose you have only lost $3 which is not very much money at all.
The disadvantage to this system is that you are relying on a number of matches to be in your favor to win. This means that your actual chances of winning are lower than just betting one match. For example if your accumulator has 3 matches in, and your first 2 win but your 3rd loses then you don’t win anything.
Like any type of bet some people will tell you that this is the best way to bet whilst others will swear it is the worst. The truth is that different people have different styles and if you do want to do a betting system you should try a couple in order to find one that suits you
