BASIC RULES OF ACCUMULATORS
A number of rules are to be considered when placing bets as accumulators, these rules differ slightly from one bookmaker to the other, but basic ones apply.
Generally bookmakers have a maximum amount just one individual can win on just one accumulated bet. Most times this is around N50,000,000 but some bookmakers still offer less.
Also majority of bookmakers if not all have a maximum number of selections which can be included in one accumulator. A number of foreign sites are quite strict compared to others , some qualified bets contains maximum of 14 selections while others permit up 40 bets and offer almost 100% on bonus.
A minimum stake is allowed from one bookmaker to another in Nigeria it ranges from N50 to N100.
Another important rule to note is the effect some bet picks would have on your accumulator.
A good instance would be when a number of Draw No bet (DNB) picks are added to the selection. As explained in one of our articles, if the game ends as a draw, the match result is recorded as voided (cancelled), that is to say the accumulator wont be recorded as a loss rather since it is been considered as an accumulator the funds wont be refunded like in the case of a SINGLE instead the particular bet selection would be removed, therefore reducing the number of games in the accumulator causing the final payout value to also reduce if every other game wins.
Accumulator strategies for football.
Just as earlier mentioned on the previous post, the major factor to be considered when picking accumulators for football would be the Value of these picks.
Wider range of leagues
Some individuals actually think that to play value bets one has to be limited in his selection of the number of games that make up the accumulator. There are good number of leagues with games being played on every given weekend., the number of value games in the premier league might range from 1 to 3 on a weekend. So why not go to other leagues German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A, the french league 1, Spanish la liga etc. All these leagues also have value bets being played . Just pick more value games from different leagues. THATS ALL.
Different Markets
There’s no rule that states that when playing accumulators one must play only a particular market for example straight wins, this gives added advantage to the bettor as more value odds can be discovered while trying to make picks from a range of options. Some of which include goal goal (both teams to score), over or under goals, total goals or even Asian handicaps. Just find the best odds being offered.
It is much easier to determine a bookmaker who is offering a good odd compared to one who isnt when playing a single but not so easy when playing accumulators , so just do the research and find the bookmaker offering the best odds in the particular markets you wish to pick your accumulators from. A good instance would be noticing that BET COMPANY A offers higher odds on both teams to score compared to BET COMPANY B then why stick to the latter? Winning accumulators isn’t an easy feat so don’t rip yourself off by using a bookmaker that offers less odds.
Cashout option
Unfortunately not all bookmakers have this option, but for those who do it is a way to reduce the losses considerably and also collect profits offered.
If an accumulator contains 10 selections, and the first six went in as a win. The cashout value would be available giving bettors a chance to take winnings although at a reduced price instead if waiting for the outcome of the final game. It is also worthy of note that bookmakers offer lesser value when it comes to cashouts on an accumulator, so before cashing out consider the winnings been offered and the probability of your outstanding games winning.
SYSTEMS TO ENHANCE POSSIBILITY OF WINNING ACCUMULATORS
Just as earlier mentioned on a number of occasions, the most efficient system of accumulating bets is by picking value bets, but it is also worth of mention that most punters use betting as an alternative to lotteries and other gambling’s involving huge payouts.
In this light, here are some recommended football accumulator systems every shrewd punters should try. It could also apply to individuals betting for fun every other weekend.
The hateful eight
This is an accumulator composed only of eight selections which is simple going to be made up of eight teams you dislike the most. The selections would be made against these teams. A winning hateful eight slip is bound to bring in huge returns but that’s not all, your most despised teams get to loose.
Seventh heaven
This seven bet accumulator is usually made up of clubs in different leagues in the 7th position as at the time of placing this bet. The seven leagues to be considered would include the English premier league, Spanish La liga, Holland’s Eredivisie,the German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A, French league 1, and the Portuguese Liga Primeira in no particular order.
Sadistic Six
A sixfold Asian handicap accumulator consisted of just the topmost favorites. An instance would be PSG -3 vs Gijon, Arsenal -2.5 vs Burnley, or maybe a Real Madrid -3 vs Eibar. You are essentially just going for the kill on this one.
The naive five
Everyone has people who know next to nothing about football. For example individuals who think Cristiano Ronaldo is still a Manchester united player, people who don’t know which team is wearing the RED jersey and which is the team on Blue when Chelsea is playing Liverpool. These set of people become useful at this point as all you have to do is ask their opinion on who they think the winners or losers would be on a weekend when there are football matches and take their “naïve” opinions.
Awesome Foursome
Pick three of your great pals, an accumulator consisting of just four selections. As each one placing a stake of N4000 for example on the team he supports which brings it to a total of N16000.
Details below;
Let’s say the individuals are
Audu who supports Bayern (1.50), Chike who supports Barcelona (1.30)
Paul who supports Juventus (1.45) and Dayo who supports Manchester united (1.70)
When calculated we have
1.50*1.30*1.45*1.70 = 4.81odds
Which would be multiplied by initial capital N16000, this gives a total N76960 not bad for a payout right? Except your team lets you down.
A terrible treble
Just as the name implies it involves placing a bet on the three worst teams on any given league of your choice. True, it has a very low probability of winning but you a bound to have a very huge payout with your name on it if it comes through.
Couples Retreat
It would be lovely to have a night out with expenses paid off an accumulator consisting of the team you support and that of your partner ONLY. Remember that the higher the stake the higher the return, and since it’s just two games the probability of winning would be in your favor. Just keep the romance alive.
Now with all these, remember that the best bookmakers would have to be those who have the interest of their punters at heart. A good bookmaker should be able to offer insurance on accumulators, i.e. to say if a punter was to lose his accumulator because of a single game that went wrong there should be some sort of compensation (refund).
Unfortunately majority of bookmakers don’t offer this.
Punters should also learn to patronize bookmakers who offer reasonable bonuses on top of potential winning on a given number of selections per accumulator.
