It's that time of the year where we gaze into the crystal ball and put together an accumulator which will hopefully keep us interested in other leagues for much of the season. My strategy, which unfortunately has rarely paid a dividend, is to pick one bet from each of the four divisions.
This season, I'm going with Fulham to be relegated, Norwich to be promoted, (yeah, I know!), MK Dons to finish in the Top 6 and Northampton to finish in the top 7. The odds are 29/1

Bit difficult to read and you would have to ask them, BUT as Womens Euros not listed in the first group, you could be looking at a limit of £50,000 for an acca including that comp.
Not immediately clear if one leg of an acca not 'qualifying' automatically pops the whole bet into catergory B as it were, but certainly worth checking BEFORE bet placed! |  | | |

Pointless putting that many in an acca, you will find your bookies pay out limit for a single bet WAY below that 'return' you have listed - sorry! |
If I understand the bet365 acca limit correctly I thought it was capped at £2m. But maybe I need to read the terms and conditions more closely | | | |

See above - most bookies it will depend on the event.
PP doesn't class the Womens Euros in their top category, so have a £100,000 limit on bets on that comp, but £1,000,000 on the mens top leagues.
On some of the novelty/non sport bets, you will be surprised how low the limits can be. | | | |

Always go for a long range acca”investment” each year. I consider it akin to playing the lotto with the logic that at least some of my own judgement is mixed in rather than just picking random numbers… although of course it’s always the bookies that win. Still a bit of fun while it lasts with a small chance of becoming a millionaire.
This year 20 fold acca:
England women to win euros 3/4
England men reach semi final of World Cup 6/4
Barca to win la liga 5/4
Bayer Leverkusen to finish top four 8/11
Marseille finish top three 1/1
Forrest to be relegated 6/5
Boro finish top six 11/10
Club Brugge win league 4/6
Ludogorets win Bulgarian league 2/5
Slavia Prague win Czech league 3/5
Ajax win league 8/13
Molde win league 5/6
Porto win league 5/4
CFR cluj win Romanian league 1/1
Slovan Bratislava win Slovakian league 1/2
Malmo win Swedish league 8/15
Ipswich finish top six 4/7
Bradford finish top seven 8/11
Chesterfield finish top seven 8/13
South Shields win northern premier league 11/8
My £10 will net me £1,872,160.48
Already planning what to spend it on… maybe one months electricity bill
Edit: maybe not the best idea in the world staying up making random bets at 3am and then posting about it on QPR message boards… time to go to sleep
Edit 2: I make similar ludicrous acca bets each round of league matches but only place £1 each time. This limits my total betting spend to under £60 per year. That goes up in World Cup and euro years, but at least it’s controlled [Post edited 27 Jul 2022 3:46]

BUT as I said above, Paddy Power for one, have a two tier system - mens acca would pay £1,000,000 but only in certain comps, WSL ACCA certainly would NOT pay £1,000,000 - £100,000 I think. | | | |

Haha, one down, only nineteen more to go. The womens euros was the only one with a result in the immediate future. The rest will come down to the end of the various seasons, so time to ignore that bet for at least 5-6 months to see if it still has legs. Like I said I put it on more like a lottery and don’t hold big hope on it.
Even less hope after Pinners posts about a two tier system meaning I almost certainly would not win the advertised payout. I did actually try to see the bet365 terms and conditions for that but couldn’t find anything useful via the app. Probably need to go to their website to find the small print but not worth investing my time on that as it’s a bet to nothing with very small chance of winning anyway. If there is some sort of chance of the bet coming off come next year then I might pay attention and look it up properly. | | | |

Fair enough - good luck!
Another tip, IF a few legs come in, have a look at the Cash Out possibilities. | | | |

No need. If it's an online bet and a few of them come in, with the rest looking highly likely to come in, the bookies will be contacting him first with an offer to settle. | | | |

Possibly not, as I said above, given the competitions contained in the acca, I would expect payout to be £100,000 at best. | | | |

Right even though I said I would leave things alone for months now I felt far too guilty that other posters helped me out with advice and I left things hanging. I also feel bad for essentially overtaking this topic.
So I did have a dog on the bet365 website. It turns out my max winnings would be capped at £50k
Thanks to all who offered advice, especially Pinner
Obviously this leaves me with a bet that has far longer odds than necessary for the payout, but never mind… £50k would still be better than nothing, haha. Live and learn for next time. Next year I will place enough bets to get close to the max of either the £500k or the £250k markets.
If anyone is interested in the bet365 small print I’ll paste it below. If not then please ignore past this point:
- £2,000,000 for all Men’s full International matches and the following competitions - English Premier League, Championship, League 1, League 2, FA Cup, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga I, French Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
- £500,000 for the following competitions - Australian A-League, Scottish Premiership, English National League, Norwegian Tippeligaen, Portuguese Primeira Liga, Swedish Allsvenskan and English League Cup.

No worries.
As I suspected, although I didn't know what the rule was if you mix and match, clearly they go for the lowest league contained in the acca and use that limit - not a surprise , given how risk adverse bookies are! | | | |

Yes Pinner that is exactly what they do with an acca that mixes the markets. The lowest becomes the cap. If I had copied one more paragraph then that would also have been explained. Trust me to do a half arsed copy and paste | | | |
