In the world of sports betting, it’s not just individual bets that bring excitement – more experienced bettors often choose multiple bets, also known as accumulator or combo bets, to increase their potential odds and thrill. But what exactly does this type of bet mean, what are its advantages, risks, and how should it be used?
A multiple bet involves combining several independent events (e.g., match outcomes) into one ticket. The odds of each selected bet are multiplied, which can significantly increase the potential winnings compared to single bets.
Bet 1: Real Madrid win (odds: 1.80)
Bet 2: Bayern Munich win (odds: 1.60)
Bet 3: Arsenal win (odds: 2.00)
Total accumulator odds: 1.80 x 1.60 x 2.00 = 5.76
This means that with a 10 EUR stake, you could win up to 57.60 EUR – but only if all the bets are correct.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but technically, there is a small difference:
Accumulator (AKO): One ticket with multiple bets; each of them must be correct, or the entire bet loses.
Combo Bet: You can create different combinations from the selected bets (e.g., doubles or trebles), so even if one bet is incorrect, you can still win something. This is a safer option, but the potential winnings are typically lower.
Higher winnings – Thanks to the multiplication of odds, even a small bet can lead to a significant win.
More excitement – Watching multiple matches simultaneously increases the thrill and engagement.
Flexibility – You can combine matches from different leagues, sports, or markets.
Higher risk of losing – One wrong tip is enough to lose the entire accumulator bet.
Temptation to combine too many bets – Some bettors combine 6-10 events, which statistically reduces the chances of winning.
Risk of addiction – The promise of big winnings can lead to uncontrolled betting.
Limit the number of events – 2-4 bets are ideal for balancing winnings and risks.
Avoid very low odds – Odds around 1.10 offer minimal returns but can still cause the entire bet to fail.
Think strategically, not emotionally – Don’t bet solely on your favorite team; focus on analysis.
Consider combo bets – For example, with three tips, you can bet not only on a treble but also on three doubles – which gives you a better chance of at least partial winnings.
Multiple bets are an exciting but risky form of betting. They can bring very attractive winnings, but only if you approach them with caution and thoughtfulness. Beginners are advised to start with smaller combinations, while advanced bettors can create more complex strategies using systems and combinations.
