Frequently Asked Questions
Why does exactly one match always cut my accumulator?
In multi-bets, the cumulative failure probability is non-linear. Even if all 10 teams have an 80% chance of winning, (0.80)^10 is only 10.7%. That means you will lose ~90% of the time, almost always by just 1 or 2 games.
