In some disciplines of sport, the favourites lose more often than in the others. In this case, You can win Your bet with only one match, sometimes all it takes is a bit of luck, but that is not the only thing to remember about. Apart from that, You decrease the risk of losing by picking only one match, unlike in the case of multiple bets like Accumulators where You have to pick several selections and one of them can destroy Your whole coupon. The odds for the underdog win are usually quite decent and often very good.
The alternative for the Accumulator bets are the single bets against the favourites. But this is a one maybe two times in a lifetime thing and will not happen often to anybody and is definitely not the best strategy for a longer period of time. Of course, very rarely such betting coupon proves to be successful and a lucky punter will hit the jackpot and win a lot of money. Some punters even go as far, as to create multiple accumulator bets with overall odds so high, that you get dizzy just from looking at them. Unfortunately, in contrast to the popular opinion, achieving good results in sports betting is not as easy as one would think. Nothing is as satisfying for the punter as another successful betting slip and another won bet at the online bookmaker.
