How to bet on football accumulators? An accumulator is one of the bitcoin sportsbook types. It is the bet which combines 4 or more selections into a single wager that gains a return only when all parts win.
How to bet on football accumulators?
Football accumulators, which often support the favorites, are very popular with casual bettors. So why do bettors bet on an accumulator for 1 x 2 or handicap bets?
It is tempting to bet on an accumulator because you can get pretty high profits with little effort.
An accumulation of $ 10 on the 1 x 2 Premier League favorites winning each of the matches on the opening weekend 2012/13 would make a net profit of $ 5,836 if the forecasts are correct.
What do past odds say?
If you look at the results of the last 9 opening days of the Premier League, you can see that no accumulator that supports the favorites in each game would have won.
In two seasons – 2002/03 and 2008/09 – only 3 results were missing. That would have resulted in a profit of $ 4,152.71 and $ 3,221.13, respectively.
Interestingly, of the 90 games played, exactly 50% (45 games) led to the opening game being won by the favorite. This means that an average of 5 out of 10 games of the opening day of the Premier League will be won by the favorite team.
Alternative accumulators:
If the odds of winning a favorite-based accumulator are too long for you, there are numerous other accumulators that you can use.
By choosing some results that you think are more or less certain, you can multiply your winnings by combining them with each other or with less likely results. For example, betting on the two biggest favorites on the opening weekend paid off in 6 of the last 8 seasons.
If you put a $ 100 accumulator on beating Arsenal Sunderland this season and winning Man City against Southampton, you’d win $ 64 (net profit). If both results were correct – not a bad result of a bet big favorites.
If you bet on the same teams on the 1 x 2 market individually, each $ 50 per game, you would only win $ 28.30 in net profit.
Betting on a 10-game accumulator (a 10-pack or combination bet) can bring you a lot more money if you correctly predict all results.
