Placing a Multiple Bet
What is a Multiple?
A multiple bet - often referred to as an acca (accumulator), the term Betfair now use - is a bet that includes at least four selections (legs) in which all selections must come true in order for the bet to pay out.
Bets that include just two or three selections in which they all must win can also be described as an acca, but given they have their own names (two selections is a double, while three selections is a treble) - then it's widely accepted that a traditional acca is a bet containing at least four selections.
Accumulator betting has become extremely popular with the growth of online betting because of how easy it has become to place acca bets.
Before online betting punters used to have to go to a betting shop to place an acca, and they would do this by writing all their selections on a betting slip, or filling out a football coupon.
