An accumulator bet, also known as an acca, is a type of sports bet where you combine multiple individual bets into a single bet. 

To win an accumulator bet, all the individual selections within the bet must be correct. If any of the selections in the accumulator is incorrect, the entire bet is lost, and you won't receive any winnings at the bookmaker.

A bet with just one selection is referred to as a single, and bets with more selections can be referred to in other ways, however, they are still accumulators. Here are a few terms you may see mentioned when it comes to accumulators. 

• A bet with 2 selections may be called a double
• A bet with 3 selections may be called a treble
• 4 selections would be a fourfold
• 5 selections would be a fivefold
• 6 selections would be a sixfold

We're able to lay accumulator bets in numerous ways, the most common and easiest way is by using the Smarkets acca feature , but we are also able to lay these bets sequentially. This guide explains how to do this in detail, generally when laying in this manner we would use the Acca Finder to help us find our bets.
