For those of us who only have time for Matched Betting a few hours each week, tackling accumulator offers was always a bit difficult, as frequently the only way of getting a decent Qualifying Loss or profit extraction from a Free Bet was to lay the accumulator sequentially with Acca Catcher.
Thanks to Smarkets, this has now all changed!
With the launch of their new ‘Multiples’ feature we now have the ability to build our own accumulators and lay them off all in one go as one single lay bet.
How the new feature works
To make our accumulator (or multiple) at Smarkets we first need to select the back (or ‘buy’) odds for each leg (or selection) in our accumulator.
(The back odds are the odds in the green boxes at Smarkets).
Then we need to double check that each leg of our accumulator has appeared in our betslip OK and that each leg has the ‘Multiples toggle’ switched on (this should be automatic).
Once we know all our legs (or selections) have been entered correctly into our betslip, we then need to switch the tab in the ‘Multiples’ section at the bottom of the betslip from ‘Buy’ to ‘Sell’.
When you do this you will see the amount in the ‘Price’ box increase. The amount stated in the Price box represents the lay odds for our single accumulator bet. These are the lay odds we would use in our standard Matched Betting Calculator to work out the lay stake we need to use at Smarkets.
Unlike the lay odds for each leg, the lay odds for the single accumulator lay bet cannot be edited.
Before placing any bets, we need to also check what the maximum lay stake is we are allowed to use on the acca at Smarkets. We can do this by typing in the lay stake we want to use in the stake box in the Multiples section of the betslip and seeing if a red warning box pops or not.
When we're happy we can go ahead, once we've successfully placed our accumulator at the bookmaker, all we then do is just click Sell and Confirm at Smarkets to lay the acca off.
Once you get the hang of this simple process, you will be able to lay your accumulators off at Smarkets within seconds. For more information please see the full guide here:
