How to Calculate Accumulator Probability

Calculate combined odds and probability and understand the independence assumption.

Combined odds

Multiply all decimal odds to obtain the accumulator price.

Combined probability

For independent selections, multiply their probabilities. Every leg must win.

Weak legs

One negative-value selection can remove the value of the entire accumulator.

Correlation

Same-match selections are often related, so simple probability multiplication can be misleading.

Frequently asked questions

Do more legs mean more value? — No, only a larger payout and lower hit rate.

What is a 2 from 3 system? — Three doubles made from three selections.
