How do I get them?
As in how do I put them on?
I do all my football betting of this type actually in person in the bookies. Saturday morning ritual most weeks!
Or how do I decide on them?
Uusally just gut feel and a quick study of the tables and form. Nothing serious.
I am partly confused as to why you do it as opposed to normal betting. So you ask the bookmaker for a specific set of outcomes?As in how do I put them on?

Taking an accumulator IS normal betting isn't it?

I mark my coupon with whatever results I fancy and then take it as an accumulator rather than 4, 5, 6 or however many individual bets.
Why? Ah, I suppose bigger win for same outlay.I can have a one or two quid accumulator, that has the possibility of returning anything from 25 - 200 quid depending on the odds.
Staking it on singles would mean tiny returns on many of the games and much smaller stakes for the the same outlay or much higher stakes for the same return.
I don't do this type of betting as an investment or anything else. It increases my interest in the footballing weekend and adds a nice bonus if I happy to get my selections correct. I don't bet large amounts in this way as I know their is almost as much luck as skill involved!
Arsenal and Man Utd screwed me today, oh well. I like to bet on multiples rather than the full on accumulator (single bet), e.g. make 6 selections and bet on 4 or 5-folds, gives you a bit of a margin for error, although if most/all your odds are heavy favourites you can still get a losing return.

Fair enough. Of course, the bigger the reward, the less likely the outcome...
How have your accumulators been overall?
I'm under no illusion - I lose more times than I win. How have your accumulators been overall?
Since starting this thread i've won one one out of three weekends - but that has covered all three weeks worth of bets and will probabaly cover me for the next few weekes as well.
I don't keep a record overall of what I win and don't win - its not big stakes, is money I can afford to lose and I enjoy doing it.
I've just noticed this thread, I do an accumulator every Saturday morning after dropping the OH off at work so I'll keep my weekly predictions on here too.
This week Southend let me down!
My dad was visiting this weekend so he put one on too, got it wrong and 'accidentally' chose Man U to draw with Newcastle, I told him that was the most likely one to be right..... it was the only one!
