How it works
Laying a whole accumulator at once ties up a large liability. Laying it leg by leg, each lay placed only after the previous leg has won, keeps it small. Enter the stake, the accumulator odds and each leg's lay odds and commission for 2 to 5 legs, then pick a method.
Worked through
A £10 double at 5.0, laid as a standard bet: leg 1 at 2.04, leg 2 at 2.56, each with 2% commission.
| It shows | Value |
|---|---|
| Leg 1 stake | £9.55 |
| Leg 2 stake | £19.69 |
| Qualifying loss | -£0.64 |
| Profit if all legs win | -£0.64 |
Leg 1's lay holds a liability of £9.93 and leg 2's, laid only if leg 1 wins, £30.71. Every route finishes on -£0.64.
Questions
What do the four methods do?
Standard Bet matches the whole accumulator for a small, even loss. Standard Free does the same for a free bet (stake not returned). Underlay keeps the liability on early legs low and breaks even if any leg loses. Underlay Lock In lays the final leg in full, so the result no longer depends on it.
What if the lay odds have moved by the next leg?
The calculator works each leg's stake from the odds entered for every leg. Re-enter the next leg's lay odds before laying it and its stake follows.
