Racing Post – 13/1 acca

Sheffield United v Millwall (1945 GMT)

Championship highflyers Sheffield United slipped to second after Saturday's 1-0 loss at Oxford but they are generally strong at Bramall Lane and should be too strong for Millwall, who have won just five times on their league travels.

Stoke v Luton (1945 GMT)

Stoke have picked up back-to-back home wins and can sweep aside Championship relegation rivals Luton, who are two points adrift of safety with six games to go.

Bayern Munich v Inter (2000 GMT)

Inter have conceded just two goals across ten Champions League matches and their rock-solid defence can help them avoid defeat away to Bayern Munich, who are missing key injured attacker Jamal Musiala.

Arsenal v Real Madrid (2000 GMT)

Arsenal and Real Madrid have entertained in the Champions League with goals per game averages of 2.30 and 2.33, and the high-scoring trend may continue with both teams set to find the net in north London.

Reading to win at Shrewsbury

Paddy Power – Joe Cole’s 10/1 Bayern Munich v Inter acca

Bayern Munich to win

Both teams to score: Yes

Harry Kane to score or assist

Over 4.5 goals

Joe Cole told Paddy Power: “Bayern Munich have got a lot of injuries coming into this game.
“However, they do have Harry Kane, and he’s been sensational in the competition so far this season with 10 goals scored. This might be a bit of a hunch, but despite those injuries, I still think Bayern can get it done.

“So, I’m going for a Bayern Munich to win, with both teams to score, as I think there will be lots of goals in this game.”

Acca FAQs

 

What is an acca?

An ‘acca’ is a short term for the word ‘accumulator’, which is hard to spell and takes up a lot of space to write.

The acca is a bet consisting of several different selections which form one bet.

Four or more selections make up an acca, and some bookmakers may even offer as many as 20 selections in total.

The more selections you add to the acca the more your chances of success decrease, but the odds will get bigger.

To win an acca, you need each of your selections to be successful. For example, all five horses picked for a five-fold acca would need to win for you to claim your winnings, unless you have made your bet each-way.

What is an each-way acca?

Each-way accas are mostly used in horse racing.

An each-way accumulator is two separate bets, one bet for your selections to win, the other to finish in the places.

For example, if you placed a £5 each-way acca your stake would be £10.

The bet is lost if one of your selections fails to win or place.

 

Why bet with an acca?

You can group multiple bets, of varying prices, together to enhance your odds. A small stake could earn a large profit.

 

What is a fold in an acca?

Fold refers to a leg of your acca, for example, a six-fold acca is six separate selections to form one acca bet. 

What is acca insurance?

If your bookmaker offers acca insurance, your stake could be returned to you as a free bet if one leg of acca fails.

What are the benefits of an acca?

 

Larger odds:

Bookies multiply the odds of each selection you add to your slip. So even if you place just a pound on a multiple-legged acca you could get a very generous price.

 

Variety:

You can select several favourites in your acca, or mix long shots with favourites. The choice is yours.

 

Multiple sports:

You can pick selections across a number of different sports or just one event like a football match or one horse racing meeting.

Small stakes can yield big profits.

 

Acca insurance:

Your stake could be returned to you as a free bet if one leg of acca fails.

 

Cash out:

Some bookies will offer the chance to cash out during the event

What are the negatives of an acca?

- The bigger the odds of your acca your chances of success reduce

- One failed leg can ruin an acca

- Cash out isn't always available. You are at the mercy of the bookie with a cash out, they could block the cash out option during the event

How to calculate your winnings in an acca?

Multiply the odds of your selections to find out your acca odds.

It’s a very simple formula but probably easier to work out if you change your odds into decimals.

Example for a four-legged acca: 2.10 x 3.00 x 1.57 x 2.66 = 26.31 

A £10 stake would return £263.10p

Can I place an acca on any sport?

Yes, horse racing and football are the most common. But tennis, cricket and darts accas are gaining in popularity.

For example on one single Saturday, you could add a football match, a horse race, a grand prix and a tennis final to your acca.
