Accumulator

Also called: Acca, Parlay, Multiple

A single bet combining several selections where every leg must win.

The legs' decimal odds are multiplied together, so the potential return climbs steeply — and so does the chance of losing everything, because one failed leg loses the whole stake.

Accumulator mathematics

Legs2.10 × 1.50 × 2.00
Combined odds6.30
Stake£10.00
Total return£63.00
Profit£53.00
Combined implied probability15.9%

Note: the same three selections as separate single bets would each settle independently — the accumulator trades a much lower chance of any return for a much larger one.

Decimal Odds

Decimal odds express the TOTAL return per £1 staked, including the stake itself — not just the profit.

Stake and Returns

The stake is the amount risked; the potential return is stake × decimal odds and INCLUDES the stake back, so profit is the return minus the stake.

Over/Under

A bet on whether a countable total — goals, points, cards, games — finishes above or below a line, rather than on who wins.

Double Chance

A single bet covering two of the three possible football results — home or draw, away or draw, or home or away.
