Tips for Accumulators Today
An accumulator, known as an ACCA, includes two or more predictions in one bet. All legs need to win for the accumulator to win.
Odds from all predictions are multiplied to get higher chances of receiving than making separate predictions. But when you increase the number of legs, you also increase the chances that one of the predictions won't win, and then the whole accumulator loses.
TrustPredict evaluates every football prediction separately and shows ACCA tips. No matter how many selections there are in an accumulator or how low odds for the prediction are, there is no guarantee for the whole accumulator to win.
How Does an Accumulator Work?
Imagine there is an accumulator which includes three predictions:
| Selection | Decimal odds |
| Selection 1 | 1.50 |
| Selection 2 | 1.60 |
| Selection 3 | 1.40 |
| Total odds | 3.36 |
Total odds are counted like this:
1.50 × 1.60 × 1.40 = 3.36
If all three predictions win, the accumulator wins. If one of them fails, the whole accumulator loses.
Returns, tax, deductions, and settlement conditions may vary between bookmakers.
What Happens in Case One of Legs Is Void?
In case one of legs becomes void, it is usually set to 1.00 odds and the accumulator consists of the remaining legs.
For example, if one of the predictions from the example above is voided (with the odds of 1.40), the new total odds will be:
1.50 × 1.60 × 1.00 = 2.40
Rules may vary for abandoned matches and postponed fixtures, so please check the relevant rules.
How We Evaluate ACCA Legs
It depends on the type of the market we use in each leg of the accumulator. We may evaluate:
- Recent performance of teams
- Form at home and away games
- Number of goals scored and conceded
- Players' injury or suspension, line-ups
- Fixtures congestion and rest periods
- Context of the competition and motivation
- Performance in the market we use
- Odds and value
A famous team or a low price doesn't necessarily mean a good choice for an accumulator leg. Each leg increases the number of conditions which need to be true.
Accumulator vs Single Bet
One single bet includes one prediction, while an accumulator includes several predictions.
| Single bet | Accumulator |
| One prediction | Two or more predictions |
| Settled separately | All legs are connected |
| Lower chances of return in many cases | Higher total chances of return |
| Only one prediction needs to win | All legs need to win |
Accumulators may look attractive because of high total odds, but high chances of return mean a higher risk too.

Will Adding More Legs Improve My ACCA?
More selections will give you higher total odds, but it doesn't mean that your bet will be better. You increase the number of possibilities of failure with each leg.
Smaller accumulator with selected carefully legs may be easier to evaluate than big one with many random fixtures. Don't add matches only to get the required total price.
