If you’ve ever placed accumulator bets, you probably know how confusing it can get when trying to calculate potential winnings.
Many bettors struggle with calculating betting odds correctly, especially when combining multiple selections.
At first, I used to do everything manually… and I kept making mistakes.
So here’s a simple way to understand it.
🧮 The basic formula for accumulator bets
An accumulator bet (also called a combo bet) combines multiple selections into one single bet.
To calculate accumulator odds, you simply multiply all odds together.
Example:
Odds:
1.75 × 1.90 × 1.60 × 1.45
Total odds = 7.66
If you bet 100€, your potential return is:
👉 766€

Here are the most common issues people run into:
- Forgetting to multiply all odds
