Betting Accumulator


If you decide to put two or more games on one betting slip - it's called a betting accumulator. This way you can boost your overall odds. You'll play with more risk, but it may be worth it. Take a look at the following betting slip:

 

betting terms explained

 
As you can see - a player added 8 games to a betting slip and all betting odds multiply! (1013,45!)

 

This way, he bet only 7,74€ at 1013,45, and he won 7.843,12€!

 

This is the power of a betting accumulator.

 

If you'd like to place an accumulator, simply choose your desired outcomes and put them all on one slip. Game Nr.1 - click 1, X or 2, choose another game 1, X or 2,.... and keep on going until you're satisfied with your selection. And after that, click on PLACE BET!

 

A single bet is simply only one game on a betting slip. Two or more are a betting accumulator.


 

 

Over / Under Betting


With Ice Hockey games or football, you'll find Over/Under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5,....Goals .

 

What does that mean? Number of goals!

 

The 0,5 at the end is important. More than 0,5 means - at least one goal will be scored. Less than 1,5 means 0 or 1 goal is a winner.

 

The 0,5 is important because if the bet is placed on more than 2 goals and exactly 2 goals are scored - is this a winning bet? No, your stake is returned because it is not clear if this is over or under.

 

That's why the majority of bookmakers uses the 0,5 goals. Over 2,5 means, at least three goals have to be scored...and so on...

 

 

Total Betting


With tennis, you can bet on Total Over / Under. If you bet on Over 21,5 games, it means how many games will be played.

 

If the game goes something like this - 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, those are exactly 30 games and you've won your bet. If the game ends 6-4, 6-4, those are 20 games and your bet would have been lost.

 

 

Congrats. We have shown you a basic single bet in the last article, now you also know how to bet on over/under and totals. You also know what an accumulator is.
