Your Football Betting Glossary - Terms Explained
27th January 2022
Standard football wagering terms are extremely essential for any punter, whether new or experienced. If you don't know what an ACCA is, how can you make a winning bet? We'll explain what the most common football betting lingo means in this post. In chronological order, we'll define each term's meaning.
Accumulator (ACCA) Bet
Accumulator bets are single wagers that are combined together into one bet. The ACCA bet has four or more legs (choices) and must win all of them to succeed. If even one of the limbs loses, you will lose the entire wager. They are quite popular bets since they have the potential to gain a significant profit.

Asian Handicap
The Asian Handicap betting style is intended to level the playing field by giving a virtual edge to the underdog squad. These wagers are difficult for neophytes to understand, but once they grasp them, they should pique their interest, such as eliminating the draw possibility.
Combination Betting
Combination betting is what occurs when you combine numerous wagers into one in order to improve your chances. When utilizing features such as Bet Builder, these bets are more convenient to place. These bets may be referred to by a variety of names, including Same Game Multi, Bet Builder, and so on. You can wager on just one event or multiple sporting events.
Double Chance Betting
A Two-Way or Double Chance is when you back two possibilities in one wager. This sort of bet has poor odds, but it offers a better chance of winning.
Draw No Bet
In a "Draw No Bet" wager, you'd win if your team wins and get your money back if the match ends in a draw. It's a popular bet because the draw result has no impact on your wager.
Each-Way Wagering
Each-Way punters plump for Horse Racing in the majority of cases, although bookies accept Outright Football odds. You place two bets with the same amount (doubled stake) on one team to win, and another to lose. If both outcomes win, you make a larger profit; if only one wins, you collect part of the wager.
Even Wager
An Even wager is a bet placed on even chances. 2.0 or 1/1 are two examples of even odds. It's quite popular, and many bookies provide new clients bonuses if they make a qualifying wager on even odds.
Half Time/Full-Time Betting
In a HT/FT bet, you must predict both the result at half-time and the outcome at full-time. Both of the outcomes must be accurate in order for you to win your wager.
Outright Bet
On some bookmaker platforms, this sort of betting is referred to as "Futures." Instead of betting on the outcome of a single game, you bet on the outcome of a tournament or competition. Because you must wait until the end of the match to collect your winnings, these bets typically take longer to settle.
Over/Under Wagering
Over/under bets allow you to gamble on aspects of a match such as the total number of goals, as well as other types of numbered statistics. You may bet on whether or not the game will end up exceeding or undershooting the amount shown on the wager.
Single Wager
The most frequent and basic form of wager is a single bet. You just need to get one prediction correct, so winning is more likely than if you played the ACCA.
Spread Betting
Bookie spreads are the most common type of spread bet. When you place a wager on a particular bookie spread, you are betting more on the accuracy of the prediction than on the game's outcome. For example, whether a team will win or lose by a specific number of points.
