Accumulator (Parlay)
betting
Pronunciation: ah-KYOO-myuh-lay-ter / PAR-lay
Definition
A multi-leg bet where all selections must win; returns are multiplied.
Detailed Explanation
An accumulator (parlay) combines multiple selections into one bet. Odds multiply, increasing potential payout but also risk, since a single losing leg voids the entire bet (unless insurance or cash-out applies).
Usage Example
"She hit a 4-leg accumulator on football for a big payout."
Philippine Context
Sports bettors commonly place parlays on basketball and football; some local pools mimic accumulator structures.
