If you want to make a huge amount of cash in a single bet, yet also minimize the amount of risk as much as possible, then going for a football betting accumulator is, without a doubt, the best route to go down. But, what is an accumulator? How do you place them? All will be answered on this page!
You can think of an accumulator as several bets rolled into one. So, for an example, a football accumulator may look like this:
Or this:
No matter which of those bets you place, all of the events need to happen or you lose the entire bet. So, for example, in the second bet,
if the score ends up being 3-1, then the bet is lost and you lose the cash that you staked on it, even if Manchester United end up winning.
Obviously, with accumulators there is going to be a lot more risk with them than single bets. However, because of the way accumulators work, you could potentially win a LOT of cash with just a small bet. While it is unlikely with football bets, unless you have hundreds of options in your accumulator, there has been reports of people becoming millionaires from horse racing accumulators….from just a single £2.00 stake. We listed the best bookmakers for betting on horse racing as well.
Don’t forget; you can have any number of bets in an accumulator. The minimum needs to be two, but there is no maximum. However, there more lines you have on that bet, the more chance you have of losing, so only have more than five or six if you are really feeling lucky (or the bets seem like that they could be incredibly safe).
In my opinion, the best accumulator bets will be those that you stand a bigger chance of winning. One of the biggest benefits of this type of bet is that you can combine several normally ‘safe’ bets which have fantastic odds into a single safe bet. Sure, the risk is higher, but the reward is much higher too. In most cases, you won’t need to go much beyond predicting the winner of a few matches in order to make a sizeable amount of cash on your bet, which certainly is not too shabby.
It is important that you always do your research when placing an accumulator bet. Have a look at the form for a team. Have a look at whether they are likely to win, who their best goal scorers are, and the average score that they seem to have in their matches. This should give you a rough idea about the type of bet that you should be placing on the match.
This is a tricky thing to answer, because the bulk of bookmakers are probably not going to be giving away free accumulator bets. However, there are a few sure fire ways of getting your hands on them.
The first is to sign up to a website which is offering a ‘welcome bonus’ of a free bet. A welcome bonus is a type of incentive to get you signed up to a website. After all, many of these bookmakers know that once you have signed up to their site, you are likely to stick around, which means that you are more likely to keep depositing money into your account. Basically, your accumulator bet is going to be a marketing cost for them.
The second option is to find a betting site which offers regular free bets to their most regular customers. To be honest, most of them do. However, if you are looking for a site which offers a free football betting accumulator for today or tomorrow, then your safest bet is always going to be one of the sites which offers a welcome bonus.
Remember; no matter what type of free bet you get, there will always be terms and conditions attached to it. This will differ from bookmaker to bookmaker, so it is important that you read through them. For example; for some sites, there may be a minimum amount that you need to deposit into your account if you want to take advantage of the free bet, while others are going to give you a free bet simply for signing up to their website.
