Accumulators and multi-bets
What happens to probability and margin when several selections are multiplied into one bet, shown with tables instead of slogans.
Multiplying odds also multiplies the charge hidden in each of them. Start here before combining selections on one slip.
- Are accumulators worse than single bets?
Compare the average loss of the same KES 400 staked as singles or as one accumulator, with every step of the arithmetic shown and a table from 1 to 5 legs.
- Trixie and Yankee bets: how many bets and what is the stake?
A Trixie is 4 bets and a Yankee is 11. See how the bets are counted, how the total stake is found and what each outcome returns, in KES.
- What are the real chances of winning an accumulator?
Multiply the chance of each leg to find the chance that an accumulator wins. Worked tables for 2 to 10 legs, with the arithmetic shown step by step.
- How to calculate accumulator odds and payout
Multiply the decimal odds of every leg to get the accumulator odds, then multiply by the stake for the payout. Steps with a worked KES example.
- How to work out the margin in an accumulator
In an accumulator the odds multiply, and so does the margin in each leg. See the formula, a table from 1 to 10 legs and a worked case in shillings.
