What is an Accumulator Bet?
An accumulator bet is a type of bet that combines several individual bets into a single bet. In accumulator bets, the individual odds of all the single bets are combined, increasing the potential payout. While this means that you have the possibility of winning much higher sums, it is also significantly riskier as all predictions have to be correct in order to win anything at all.
Accumulator bets are fastly becoming popular among Tanzania sports bettors because it offers them a chance to win big with relatively small stakes. These types of bets also go by other names like Combo bets, Multi-Bets, Parlay bets, and Accas.
Here’s an example of accumulator bets in football. Let’s say you’re placing bets on the UEFA Champions League. In the following matches, you predict that Barcelona, Liverpool, Juventus, and Sevilla will be winners of their respective matches.
You could place four single bets on each of these outcomes. This would mean that you would place a bet on each match individually. In this circumstance, if only two of your bets turned out to be correct, you would gain modest returns on two of the bets.
However, if you placed an accumulator bet, you would bet on all four outcomes simultaneously, which must be correct to win. Plus, your winnings are way higher than single bets.
How Do Acca Bets Work?
Accumulator bets work differently from single bets, enabling the punter to win higher returns potentially. However, as noted above, higher returns come with a higher risk than you would ordinarily have when placing single bets. Let’s look at the same example as above.
When placing a single bet on the above outcomes, each bet is treated individually, meaning you still get payouts even if some selections are wrong. However, with accumulator bets, all four predictions must be correct to collect any winnings or your entire stake is lost.
Using the previous example, if your predictions on Barcelona, Liverpool, and Juventus matches are correct, but you lose the bet on the Sevilla match, you lose your entire stake. However, if you are right about all four outcomes, you win big!
But how big? To understand the amount you can win on an accumulator bet, you need to understand how accumulator bet odds are calculated.
How Accumulator Bet Odds Are Calculated
When placing accumulator bets on the Parimatch platform, it is vital to understand how the odds work, as this will give you an idea of how much real money you can win. To calculate accumulator odds, multiply individual odds. Accumulators have higher potential winnings than separate bets where odds are added. Parimatch handles all calculations, so you can focus solely on your predictions.
|
MARKET |
OUTCOME | ODDS |
| 3-way betting | BARCELONA to win |
2.37 |
|
3-way betting |
LIVERPOOL to win | 2.17 |
| 3-way betting | SEVILLA to win |
2.46 |
|
3-way betting |
JUVENTUS to win | 2.02 |
| TOTAL ODDS: |
25.56 |
|
As you can see, the total odds is 25.56, from multiplying: 2.37 x 2.17 x 2.46 x 2.02.
To work out your potential winnings, multiply your whole stake by 25.56, then subtract the original stake. For a 40,000 TZS stake, potential returns are 825,795 TZS. Subtract the stake, potential profit is 785,795 TZS!
A single bet on the same outcomes would yield 50,200 TZS, and compared to the 785,795 TZS of the acca bet, you can see that it’s possible to make over 15 times the profit in one bet!
How Risky Are Accumulator Bets?
Accumulator bets have higher risks than single bets, and to be successful in playing accas, you need to understand these risks and how they affect your winnings.
Here’s an example to show how the risk varies between a parlay bet and single bets. Let’s say you want to place an accumulator bet on four boxing matches:
| Player 1 | Odds | Player 2 | Odds | |
| Carl Frampton | 2.20 | Jamel Herring | 1.78 | |
| Dillian Whyte | 1.22 | Alexander Povetkin | 3.25 | |
| Mairis Briedis | 1.39 | Yunier Dorticos | 2.75 | |
| Daniel Dubois | 1.18 | Joseph Joyce | 4.45 |
With single bets, the risks are calculated individually because you still get payouts even if you lose some bets. Implied probability is used to determine the likelihood of you winning a bet and is calculated by dividing 100 by the decimal odds.
For the above boxing matches, the implied probabilities of winning each of these bets are as follows:
Herring — 56%
Whyte — 82%
Briedis — 72%
Dubois — 84%
Looking at the figures, it looks safer to pick the favorites and place a single bet. However, staking 10,000 TZS on each outcome may only yield 15,700 TZS, while an accumulator bet with a 40,000 TZS stake has a potential return of 102,400 TZS. That’s 6.5 times the profit!
But by using implied probability, we see that the risk is much higher. Multiply the odds to get the accumulator’s implied probability.
Here: 1.78 x 1.22 x 1.39 x 1.18 = 3.56.Â
Divide 100 by 3.56 = 28% chance of winning.
There you have it! Singles offer safety with high implied probabilities and part payouts. Accumulators have a 28% chance of all being correct but 6.5 times the profit. Much higher risk, much higher return!

Win Accumulator Bets with These Tips and Strategies
Placing accumulator bets on the Parimatch betting app can be a thrilling and exciting experience but in order to win and hit it big, you’ll need to make the right decisions. Here are some vital tips to increase your chances of winning.
- Pick Favourites
Choosing value and safer odds with a higher chance of winning is better than selecting underdogs with high risks. The underdogs might increase your odds and potential payout but they’ll also reduce your chances of winning.
- Think About the Difference
In addition to always going for the favorites, ensure you look for options where there’s a clear skill difference between the two teams. This will significantly lower the chances of the underdog pulling up surprises and ruining your bet.
- More Legs, More Risk
Be careful not to add too many legs to your accumulator bet because while they might multiply the odds and potential payouts, they’ll also increase the risk and lower your chances of winning. Only select legs you’re confident about, and remember that even doubles and trebles give great returns too.
- Only Add Good Value Bets
While it’s good to find favorites and certain odds, it’s important to find odds where the favorites are clear favorites, but they have odds of 1.50 or higher. Adding legs with low odds because of certainty only adds risk to the bet without really increasing value. Instead, go for teams that are more likely to win but still have great odds; good value bets with high odds.
To understand how close the favorite is to the underdog, look at the difference in odds between the two. If one team has odds of between 1.00 and 3.00, whereas the other team has odds of 4.00 upwards, you can see the discrepancy between the two teams. Pick the team most likely to win while enjoying the high odds. Here is a good example of a good value bet:
| Scotland | 1.77 | Draw | 3.40 | Israel | 4.50 |
Scotland is highly likely to win, and the odds will multiply your accumulator odds by 1.77.
- Choose Classic Markets
Stick to classic markets, such as 1X2, winner bets, and “Both Teams to Score.” While it is certainly possible to place accumulator bets on handicaps, totals, and other more advanced betting systems, it’s best to stick to simple bets.
- Don’t Choose Guess Bets
Avoid bets that are based on luck such as odd/even and wagers on timed goals as they can completely disrupt your winning streaks that are based on real statistics.
