What Is an Accumulator (Acca) Bet?

An Accumulator, also known as an Acca, is a type of bet that combines multiple selections into one single wager. To win an Acca bet, all selections must be correct.

This betting style is popular because it offers much bigger potential payouts than single bets.

🧮 How Does an Acca Work?

When you place an Acca, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. This multiplies your potential winnings — but also increases the risk.

Example:

  • You pick 3 matches:

    • Arsenal to win at 2.00

    • Man City to win at 1.80

    • Chelsea to win at 2.20

  • The combined odds are:
    2.00 x 1.80 x 2.20 = 7.92

  • If you bet KES 100, your potential return is KES 792 (stake included)

  • All 3 teams must win for your bet to succeed

âś… Benefits of Acca Bets:

  • Higher returns from small stakes

  • Exciting way to follow multiple events

  • Eligible for Bonuses & Promotions (e.g., Acca Boosts or Free Bets)

⚠️ Risks to Consider:

  • If even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost

  • Market suspension or match cancellations can affect the Acca (voided legs are removed, and odds adjust)

🛠️ Tips for Acca Betting:

  • Choose wisely — balance safe picks with potential upsets

  • Don’t go too large — more legs = higher risk

  • Look out for Acca insurance or boosts in BetLion’s promotions section
