Some Tips for Short Odds Accas

12th December 2019

Articles

Over on our VIP Facebook Page there’s been a couple of very interesting posts from a user of late regarding short odds accas and ‘system bets’. They’ve been very successful and have caused quite a stir over there. If you’re a Bet Dynamo subscriber join the page and if not then seriously consider subscribing as these are they types of posts worth their weight in gold. We’re building a community to bash the bookies and this is exactly what we’re all about.

The basic idea is pretty simple, you make 10 selections from upcoming football markets and instead of doing a traditional 10x accumulator we do the bets as doubles, trebles, fourfolds etc. Some people call these ‘system bets’. You can, of course, do the 10x fold if you wish, but by doing them as doubles and trebles the Facebook user has found the most success.

How To Make Good Short Odds Selections

This is where Bet Dynamo comes in so useful as we can look through the upcoming football matches and make picks based on value in the markets. We’ve taken a screenshot of some upcoming matches for this weekend’s footballing action in England and we can see it’s showing some nice value picks that we could consider putting into a selection for our system bets.

Something to pay attention to though is to ensure that you’re getting value in the selections that you make and don’t forget that while bookies do set odds based on the implied probability of an event happening they also factor in making the odds attractive to punters, so while a price might look tempting investigate the likelihood of it occurring before parting with your money.

Tips for System Bets

Bookies factor in their commission, or overround, into all events as well, so the advantage for the bookies if you’re making these ‘system bets’ is that even if you win consistently with these types of bets they’ve still making money off you and they’ll be less likely to close your account even though you’re winning.

Since the post became popular on the VIP Facebook Page we decided to have a go ourselves, so let’s have a look at how it went.

We erred on the side of caution here, as it’s a new type of bet we didn’t part with much money and we only did double bets, but as you can see we had some good success:

Apologies if the screenshot isn’t the best, but anyway, as you can see we made ten value short odds selections. You’ll notice with these bets that we favoured three home sides only, Leeds, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax with Ajax losing, all of the other bets were based on goals, only one of which was an Unders bet.

We staked 22.50 units on these doubles (0.50 unit per double) and we won 24.14.

On the following day we did the same thing, 10 more selections and put them into doubles.

You’ll notice with these bets we did something a little different, we didn’t go with any match results, but when there were favourites in matches; Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Man City we bet on them scoring goals, in evenly matched games we bet on Both Teams to Score (Derby vs Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley vs Reading).

For these selections we also bet 22.50 units (0.50 unit per double) and we won 30.32 units.

As we said, we erred on the side of caution with these bets, if we’d gone with trebles our profit would have been larger but for these tests we just wanted to give it a try and see if it can be a successful way to make profit.

As you can see from these screenshots we can indeed make some profit this way. As we say, though, you need to make sure you’re betting with value and getting a good price for your selections. Indeed, it’s better to make your selection(s) before even looking at the prices on offer so that you’ll be able to identify value.

Also, these were largely Champions League matches and Bet Dynamo for now cannot offer stats on those matches, but it was used to identify the statistics for the bets made in the Championship matches.

As always, Rome wasn’t built in a day but this looks like a good way to make consistent profit, you just need to make good, value short odds selections and sure there will be losing days, but with value on your side this could be a very useful betting tool in your arsenal.
