Combination betting comes at a higher original stake to an accumulator, because you are placing more than one bet. The advantage of this type of bet is you wont be screwing your slip up at full time with the painful disappointment of one team letting down your whole bet.
Combination betting works best if you can avoid very short prices, I like to work on the principle that anything over 4/6 (1.67) could be bet in combination and give a profitable return.
With combination betting, the more teams you chose, the more your bet will cost you, but of course, the more profitable it could be. The best way to show this is a working example:
I have found four selections I want to bet on:
Bolton to beat Aston Villa at 13/10 (2.3)
West Ham to beat Stoke at 5/4 (2.25)
Newcastle and Everton to draw at 12/5 (3.4)
QPR to beat Leicester at 5/4 (2.25)
As a 4-fold accumulator with a stake of £2 this would give a return of £80. But in this case Everton actually beat Newcastle so therefore the accumulator would have lost.
Rather than betting on the accumulator, bet on the trebles within these four selections. That means you are actually placing four treble bets rather than the one accumulator (there is nothing stopping you betting on the accumulator as well).
This obviously means your stake increases by four. So 4 x £2 = £8 total stake. If all four selections won you would be paid out on all four trebles so your payout would be:
Bolton, West Ham, Newcastle vs Everton draw treble pays £35.19
Bolton, West Ham, QPR treble pays £23.29
West Ham, Newcastle vs Everton draw, QPR treble pays £34.42
Newcastle vs Everton draw, Bolton, QPR treble pays £35.19
Total return from your £8 stake would be £35.19 + £23.29 + £34.42 + £35.19 = £128.09.
Unfortunately in this case the Newcastle vs Everton result was an Everton victory so only three out of my four selections were correct. But because Bolton, West Ham and QPR won there is one winning treble so you would be paid £23.29, a profit of £15.29 from your original £8 stake.
