What is a accumulator/combination?
Sometimes referred to as an accumulator, a Combination is where different sporting outcomes are added to your betslip. It is often used to denote a bet with four or more selections in order to separate it from a double or treble. At Unibet, the maximum number of outcomes allowed on your betslip is 12.
With a Combination, every outcome must be correct for the bet to be settled as a winner. The odds of your selections are multiplied with each other to determine the overall returns.
Example of an accumulator/combination
To place a Combination bet, you must add between four and twelve outcomes to your betslip. When each one is selected, the overall odds are adjusted automatically. You can place bets on any eligible event across different sports found on Unibet if desired.
For example, you could pick Chelsea to beat Brighton (odds: 1.80), Erling Haaland to score for Man City against Leeds (odds: 1.85), Daniil Medvedev to beat Nick Kyrgios (odds: 1.95) and New England Patriots to beat Minnesota Vikings (odds: 2.45).
If you were to place a €10 bet and each outcome is settled as a winner, the returns would be calculated as follows: (1.80 x 1.85 x 1.95 x 2.45) x €10 = €159.09.
Pros and cons of an accumulator/combination
Combination bets are attractive due to the high returns made possible by selecting numerous outcomes within the same betslip. This means betting with even smaller stakes can result in substantial wins. Likewise, some gamblers prefer betting on various events across an action-packed day of sport to prolong their enjoyment. The main con of a Combination comes with the fact that just one wrong call and the entire bet will be lost.

How to use the bet calculator
The Unibet Betting Odds Calculator makes it incredibly easy to instantly view the returns of your selected bet type and stake. You can also easily change the odds display from fractional to decimal in the top right corner of the page, as per your preference.
To begin, first you must decide which type of bet you are looking to place. The Unibet Calculator ranges from simple doubles, trebles and combinations through to more advanced Trixies, Yankees, Heinz and Lucky 63 multiples, etc.
For example, if you select a ‘Goliath’ multiple bet, this will generate eight blank selections that make up a Goliath bet. You must now enter the odds of each of your eight picks manually, followed by the stake per line.
By pressing ‘Calculate Now’ this will display the total stake required to place the bet, along with the Total Return and Total Profit. Another great tool is that you can easily switch each selection from being a Winner into a Lost or Void outcome. Your overall returns will be adjusting automatically after calculating the returns again. This is a great way of visualising how your bet will perform should one or more selections not be successful.
Additional betting considerations
For horse racing gamblers in particular, the Unibet Betting Odds Calculator includes the provision for Each Way betting. By selecting this, the fields will now include an option for you to adjust the Place odds (as displayed on the race betting page itself) and thus instantly calculate the returns if your horse were to finish in the applicable place positions.
Another provision is that of Rule 4 deductions. This is implemented in a horse race if a participant is withdrawn after you have placed your bet – therefore adjusting the odds. Depending on the horse that has been withdrawn, you can adjust the deduction manually by selecting either 5% to 20% per Euro bet. Finally, you can also adjust the outcome to that of a Dead Heat should multiple horses cross the finish line at exactly the same time.
