How Accumulator (Parlay) Bets Work
Combining several selections into one bet multiplies their odds together — a bigger potential payout, but every single selection has to win.
How the combined odds are calculated
1. Pick your selections
Choose two or more separate outcomes across one or more matches.
2. Multiply the odds
Multiply each selection's decimal odds together to get the combined odds for the whole accumulator.
3. Every leg must win
If even one selection loses, the entire accumulator loses — there's no partial payout for getting most of it right.
Worked example
Three selections at decimal odds of 1.85, 2.10, and 1.60: combined odds = 1.85 × 2.10 × 1.60 = 6.22. A $10 stake would return $10 × 6.22 = $62.16 total (a $52.16 profit) — but only if all three selections win.
Want to check your own selections? Use the Accumulator Calculator — it also checks whether your accumulator meets DBBet's real welcome-bonus wagering requirement.
A real DBBet example: the welcome bonus
DBBet's real, published welcome-bonus terms require wagering the bonus 5x in accumulator bets, with each accumulator having 3 or more selections and at least 3 of them at odds of 1.40 or higher. This is a real, current requirement — see our Bonuses page for the full terms.
