Betfair have been running their ‘ACCA Boost’ promotion for a few months now, but with it due to come to an end on January 31st, I thought now would be a good time to bring it to your attention if you weren’t already aware of it. The general gist of this promotion is that Betfair will give you a bonus boost of up to 50% on your accumulator if you include more selections. With this promotion, Betfair give you a 5% boost for a three leg accumulator, right up to a 50% boost for a ten or more leg accumulator.
Accumulator bets are one of the most popular bets in the UK today and have seen an ever increasing rise in popularity during the betting boom, largely due to the potential to win large sums of money from smaller stakes. Accumulators have become extremely popular with football fans for a number of reasons. Firstly, due to the nature of the bet and the fact that it combines the odds of 4 or more selections you give yourself the chance of winning huge sums of money for relatively small stakes. It is fairly commonplace to see people betting on accumulators with odds of more than 500/1.
Secondly, they have grown in popularity due to the pub culture of betting and the fact that it can add excitement to otherwise meaningless games as you furiously try to keep up to date with all of your selections at 3pm on a Saturday. Accumulator bets give the individual a great chance of winning large sums of money without much risk in terms of monetary values, a rarity in other forms of betting.
This a fairly straightforward offer, but there are still a few terms and conditions to consider before taking advantage of it. The maximum stake allowed with this offer is £25 and the maximum winnable bonus is £2000. You can only take advantage of this offer once a week and it only applies to the first accumulator bet placed that week. The offer works in the following way; if you place a £25 bet on a four leg ACCA (eligible for a 10% bonus, as per table above) and your winnings are £175, you are £150 in profit (175 – 25 staked). The bonus amount you would then receive would be £15 (150 x 10%).
If you’re a regular user of accumulator bets, but you don’t currently place them on Betfair then this could be an offer you! If you’re currently bookmaker don’t give you an odds boost, then now could well be the perfect time to move over to Betfair and start taking advantage of their, ‘ACCA Boost’.
