Can somebody tell me how the accumulator works ? hopefully Punk gets 4/1 or 5/1 odds , 1/2 is riduclous especially when you consider what happened last night when Punk rejected AJ's proposal. Oh JigsawKrueger i like your avatar with my cousin Fergal Devitt in it.
I'll give as easy example as I can.
In a Double/Treble/Accum, all multiples go up by 1 point.
I'll give examples using my own made up odds to make it as easy as possible. Obviously all fixed odds won't be as straight forward as 2/1, 4/1 etc, some are awkward to calculate. 5/2 becomes 7/2. That isn't easy to calculate in your head.
Anyway. . .
e.g, If I want to do a double of CM Punk @ 2/1 and Alberto Del Rio @ 4/1, it becomes 1 point added onto each bet and then the new odds are multiplied by eachother.
* = multiplied by
So €5 on the above bet becomes 5(3/1 (formerly 2/1) *5/1 (formerly 4/1)
5(3*5)
5(15)
€75 winnings. Plus your €5 stake, so it becomes €80 altogether.
Lets do a treble.
CM Punk @ 2/1, Alberto Del Rio @ 4/1 and also Tensai @14/1.
All go up 1 betting point. CM Punk becomes 3/1, Del Rio 5/1, Tensai 15/1.
I'm putting €2 on this treble.
2(3*5*15)
2(225)
€450 profit if they all win. ----> €452 full return.
It works the same for all multiple bets. I'll just show a 5 man accumulator here to give one last example.
CM Punk @ 2/1,Alberto Del Rio @ 4/1, Tensai @14/1, John Cena @ 1/1 and also Layla @ 4/1
Hypothetically we'll put €10 on this and remember, all odds go up by 1 point.
So. . 10(3*5*15*2*5)
10(2250)
€22500 profit. €22510 full return (including your stake)
Again, these are all basic odds, but are very handy.
There are odds calculators online too which help calculate potential winnings:
Just type in the odds of the bets you are thinking of and it automatically calculates them. I just thought it'd be cool to explain how they get the final winnings for people that didn't know.

Just checked my own calculations there and they are right. PHWEW
Good luck
