Accumulators, or parlays<\/a> in the US, are big business for sportsbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these are tougher than the average bet to pull off, there have been some occasions when bettors have defied the odds and landed huge prizes with accas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t familiar with \u2018accumulators\u2019 or \u2018accas\u2019, then this is how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You place a wager that contains several selections in different sporting events. In order for your bet to win and the acca to land, all legs must be winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a big profit off small stakes, which is why they appeal to bettors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 10 of the biggest sports betting accumulator wins ever \u2013 and some very happy winners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Won \u00a3473,985 – \u00a316 on 29,000\/1 Odds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NFL\u2019s 2022 Conference Championship Sunday was the highlight of many people\u2019s 2021 sporting calendar with both games going down to the wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picking a winner of the two games was difficult enough, but selecting the correct scores seemed almost impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incredibly one bettor managed to beat the odds, using $20 (~\u00a316) site credit on FanDuel to place a 29,000\/1 bet that came in thanks to two game-winning field goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One was kicked by Bengals\u2019 rookie kicker Evan McPherson in overtime and the other by Los Angeles Rams\u2019 Matt Gay towards the end of regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to these clutch field goals the anonymous bettor walked away half a million dollars richer<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Won \u00a3573,019 – \u00a332,744 on a 10-Leg Acca<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winning a bet is not a certainty, even if you side with the favorite every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this bettor was willing to wager a massive $40,000 (\u00a332,744)<\/strong> that the favorites would prove too strong for the underdogs across 10 football matches, eight in college ball and two in the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heaviest favorites on the card were the Green Bay Packers (-1100), who took on a struggling franchise, The Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, the Jaguars, who would end the season 1-15, were leading the Packers 20-17 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a late Packers touchdown would see them steal the win, landing this bettor over $700,000 (\u00a3573,019) and forcing William Hill<\/a> to hand over their second big pay-out in as many weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Won \u00a3791,000 – \u00a36.55 on a 12-Leg Acca<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Betting on matches when the results don\u2019t really matter is a dangerous business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, if the championship has already been decided, how can you be sure that both or either side is going to play to their maximum ability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One bettor at FanDuel<\/a> didn\u2019t let these questions affect them, placing a 12-leg acca that predicted the outcome of every match on Sunday of the 2021 Ryder Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America had all but secured the cup in the previous days, only needing 3-1\/2 points to clinch the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, the anonymous bettor from Illinois predicted all the correct winners, including an upset secured by rookie Scottie Scheffler over the top ranked golfer in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More impressively the bettor also anticipated the two tied matches, finishing an incredible set of wagers that won them a well-deserved payout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Won <\/strong>\u00a3818,135<\/strong> – \u00a311 on <\/strong>74087\/1 Odds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 is a 160-lap NASCAR race that takes place at Daytona International Speedway every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high octane action, and frequency of crashes, makes predicting the outcome of any NASCAR race very difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But recently one FanDuel Sportsbook bettor managed to correctly predict four top 10 finishers. What makes this even more impressive is that nearly all the bettor\u2019s choices were longshots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bet came in thanks to a huge crash that wiped out most of the leading pack with only 23 laps to go. This cleared the way for all the bettor\u2019s choices to squeeze into the top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of the drivers even managed a career best finish to boot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Won \u00a3822,973 \u2013 \u00a319 on a 5-Leg Acca<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Punchestown Festival brings the curtain down on the Irish jumps season, so some of the top racehorses in Ireland are on show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One fearless punter, who wished to remain anonymous, put accumulators on the Friday of the 2017 meeting, Punchestown Champion Hurdle day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Das Mooser (10\/1), Woodland Opera (9\/2), Definite Ruby (7\/1), Bacardys (10\/1) and Canardier (33\/1) all came in, it led to Coral bookmakers paying out the greatest amount on horse racing in their history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five \u00a33 fourfolds and a \u00a34 fivefold acca turned \u00a319 into approximately \u00a3867,691.55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk about bookie bashing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Won \u00a3930,368 – \u00a341 on a 15-Leg Acca<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most acca bettors tend to place their wagers on one or two sports. This keeps the betting simple and means they can bet on the sports that they understand best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the most exciting bets we have ever heard of, a BetMGM customer decided to do the exact opposite, throwing caution to the wind and placing a 15-leg accumulator bet on a range of sports that included college football, professional football, basketball, ice hockey and even golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
