Football Accumulator

    How do these things work? Is there a limit or minimum amount of teams you must choose and a minimum stake you have to put on?

    Do the matches have to be on the same day or in the same league? Can you only bet on games within a certain distance of each other (like only games played in the same month)?

    Is this a good calculator?

    I think bet365 have a limit of 23 or something? Not fully sure.

    And then when I was doing an accum of 20+ teams on PP the betslip got scrunched and I couldn't scroll down to place bet so had to remove some.

    And it doesn't matter what sport, time or whatever it's on.

    So according to Paddy Power if I was to say Tottenham v Everton for Tottenham to win @ 4/7 and Chelsea v Sunderland for Chelsea to win @ 4/11 and I put on €5 I would get €10.71 back.

    Would that be correct? Seems a bit too easy.

    So how is it done?

    Do you go in and ask to do a football accumulator or are there slip on the counters or what?

    No, you would lose €5 because Chelsea won't win ;)

    You can just grab a blank slip and write

    Spurs to beat Everton 4/7
    Chelsea to beat Sunderland 4/11
    €5 double

    Good luck :pac:

    fixed the post so as not to confuse OP

    yes, in the quoted example it's called a double because there are only two bets, but it's still an accumulator.
    writing "accum" will be clear no matter how many bets in your selection

    My friend never bets more than 1 euro and never on more than 2 games at a time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,909 ✭✭✭Neeson


    Yes, but sure you'd want to be putting on at least a fiver to get a decent return. Putting on a Euro would probably only get your €2 back!
