Are you on the Weekend Acca?

Seven down, one to go…

Our first acca of the season has gone well so far. With seven legs ticked off over the weekend, we need Man Utd to beat Wolves tonight for a 20/1 payout…

We go into tonight’s Monday Night Football on Sky Sports with a decent ticket in our hands:

Burnley v Man City – Man City to win - WON (0-3)
Arsenal v Nottingham Forest – Arsenal to win - WON (2-1)
Bournemouth v West Ham – Both Teams to Score - WON (1-1)
Brighton v Luton – Brighton to win - WON (4-1)
Newcastle v Aston Villa – Over 2.5 Goals - WON (5-1)
Brentford v Tottenham – Over 2.5 Goals - WON (2-2)
Chelsea v Liverpool – Both Teams to Score - WON (1-1)
Man Utd v Wolves – Man Utd to win - TONIGHT, 8pm…

The 8-fold acca featured in Friday’s ATL Extra email at 20/1. If you’re on, then you’re just one game away from a nice win this evening…

Manchester United to beat Wolves is the outcome we’re looking for. The game is live on Sky Sports at 8pm.

If you want to guarantee a profit…

Are you on the acca? If so, you might be offered a ‘Cashout’ amount by your bookie, depending on who you bet with.

Another way to guarantee a profit is to back the two other possible outcomes in tonight’s game: Wolves to win, and the draw…

The simplest way to do that is to take the ‘Double Chance: Wolves or Draw’ route. That bet is available with most bookies. You can get 11/4 (3.75) with Skybet, Boylesports, Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook. With just over 3/1 (4.0+) available on the Betfair Exchange (‘Draw or Away’ option in the Double Chance market).

Here’s the Double Chance bet at Skybet:

The sensible move is to take the opportunity to cover all bases. After all, it’s a stroke of  good fortune that the last game left in the acca is the standalone Monday game, giving you plenty of time to lock in a profit.

For example:

Say you’ve got £5 on the acca at 20/1. If Man Utd win, it returns £105.

If you stake £20 on ‘Double Chance: Wolves or Draw’ at 11/4, then that scenario would return £75.

In this example…

Total stakes (acca + saver) = £25
Overall profit if Man Utd win = £80
Overall profit if Wolves win = £50
Overall profit if it’s a Draw = £50

Taking that option would mean you’re guaranteed a profit no matter what happens in tonight’s game - with the biggest payout still weighted in favour of the Man Utd win.

Enjoy the football…
