Saturday acca tips: EFL five-fold pays out at 18/1
Our football tipster has picked out five selections from Saturday's fixtures to form an accumulator that could pay out at odds of just over 18/1. Odds courtesy of Sky Bet. Correct at the time of publication and subject to change. Check out our Sky Bet review to find out more about Acca Freeze, which allows you to freeze a winning score. Already a Sky Bet member?

Leg 1 – Coventry City vs Hull City (kick off, 12.30pm) Frank Lampard's arrival transformed Coventry's fortunes last season, the former England midfielder guiding his new club from 16th to finish fifth and qualify for the Championship play-offs. Hull have made some canny signings on loans and free deals despite being hit by a transfer embargo, but although the Tigers have strengthened, I expect Coventry to kick off our acca with a home win. Leg 2 – Norwich City vs Millwall (kick off, 3pm) Both Norwich and Millwall have reason to be optimistic about the coming season. The Canaries have poached local lad Liam Manning, who steered Bristol City into the play-offs last term. Millwall have had a strong pre-season and Alfie Doughty is an eye-catching signing, having recorded eight assists in the Premier League for Luton in 2023-24. I'm backing both teams to get on the scoresheet. Leg 3 – Barnsley vs Burton Albion (kick off, 3pm) Barnsley kicked off their League One campaign with a 3-1 win at Plymouth, despite being reduced to 10 men for much of the second half after Jack Shepherd was sent off. Burton won their local grudge match against Mansfield Town, but this promises to be a much tougher fixture for a club that only finished one point clear of the relegation zone last season. Leg 4 – Cheltenham Town vs Chesterfield (kick off, 3pm) Chesterfield reached the League Two play-offs last season with a seventh-placed finish and they started the new campaign with a 1-0 win against Barrow last week. I'm backing them to earn an away victory at Cheltenham, who are one of the favourites to be relegated from this division and lost at Cambridge United in their opening game. Leg 5 – Sheffield United vs Bristol City (kick off, 5.30pm) If our first four picks are winners, you will have the choice of making a Cash Out or letting it ride on this evening kick-off. Sheffield United finished third in the Championship last year, before suffering a heartbreaking defeat in the play-off final against Sunderland. The Blades met Bristol City in the semi-finals of the play-offs and won 3-0 in both legs. With home advantage, I'm banking on them to claim another victory against familiar opposition.

Betfair punter turns £5 into £3,486 acca win from a ‘losing' bet
ONE lucky punter pulled off an extraordinary midweek win - pocketing £3,486 from a losing accumulator! The mystery bettor placed £5 stake on a six-fold football acca at odds of 696/1, only to suffer a stoppage-time blow that would normally have killed the bet stone dead. But thanks to Betfair's 90 Minute Guarantee - which settles bets at the end of normal time regardless of added-time drama - the punter walked away a winner. The bet got off to a flying start as Lille (1/2) eased past Italian side Venezia 3-0 in a pre-season friendly. Club Brugge (16/11) then saw off RB Leipzig in Champions League qualifying, before Finnish side KuPS stunned RFS at odds of 7/2. Then things got nervy. Rijeka took the lead against 9/1 underdogs Shelbourne with 35 minutes left. But the Irish side hit back with two goals in 12 minutes to pull off a famous upset and keep the dream alive. Tempting as it must have been to cash out, the bettor stayed the course. Benfica (11/8) then took care of business with a 2-0 win over Nice, setting up a tense finale. Only one leg remained: Feyenoord vs Fenerbahce - and the punter needed a draw. With the Dutch side 1-0 up in the 86th minute, hope was fading fast… until ex-Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat stepped up to equalise. Feyenoord did go on to snatch a stoppage-time winner - but thanks to Betfair's 90 Minute Guarantee, the match was officially settled as a draw at full time, meaning the acca landed, despite the late twist! Betfair spokesperson, James Mackie said: 'Our hats go off to the punter who, not only predicted a number of wins, but also correctly predicted a draw in matches across the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers on Wednesday evening, netting them a cool £3,486 off a fiver. 'The bettor's acca would have been a loser, but it was saved and paid out in full thanks to our 90-minute Guarantee. The punter backed the draw in the Feyenoord v Fenerbahce game, and the acca was settled as a winner before the home team scored a 91st minute goal to win the match."

It has not and has never been, a dependable way to make money. Only bet what you can afford to lose when gambling on betting sites or new online casinos, or any gambling site for that matter. It is easy to become immersed when playing slots and other casino games and this can cause you to lose track of your spending. Use responsible gambling tools offered by casinos, such as deposit limits, reality checks, loss limits, time-outs and self-exclusion, to help prevent your enjoyment of casinos from getting out of hand. The same applies whether you are using betting apps, established casino sites, slot sites, dedicated bingo sites, football betting sites or any other form of gambling site or app. If you have gambling-related concerns, then seek independent help. There are several UK charities and institutions that offer support, advice and information, with a few listed below:

Bitcoin 'Accumulator' Better Fit for Corporates Than Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy, Research Suggests
Corporate adoption of bitcoin BTC is well-known, and most of it involves a classic buy-and-hold strategy, loosely analogous to the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy. While investors of all kinds widely prefer DCA, new research by crypto options market maker Orbit Markets shows that since 2023, it has underperformed a structured product called an "accumulator," popularly known as "I Kill You Later" in traditional markets. "Our backtest results show that the accumulator strategy outperformed DCA over the past 2.5-year period," said Pulkit Goyal, head of trading at Orbit Markets, told CoinDesk. "Three-month accumulators delivered a 10% outperformance, while longer tenors did even better — six- and twelve-month accumulators outperformed by 13% and 26%, respectively." Goyal added that accumulators offer a disciplined, cost-effective approach to token accumulation, making them "a natural fit for crypto treasury companies' use case." Both DCA and the accumulator operate the same principle – stop timing the market. While DCA simplifies investing by spreading out purchases over time, the accumulator helps acquire coins at a discount in a structured setup and helps outperform DCA during bull runs. The accumulator is a time-structured product linked to the performance of an underlying asset with an upside knock-out barrier – level, which, if hit, terminates the structure. Here is how it works: An investor agrees to buy a certain amount of the underlying asset at a fixed, discounted price (the Strike) over regular intervals, such as daily or weekly, for a set period. The product runs through the pre-determined set period unless terminated early due to an early knock-out by the spot price rising to the barrier. Note that the investor has an obligation, not a choice, to buy the asset at the discounted strike price and must double the buy in case the spot price dips below the discounted strike. Consider a three-month accumulator where an investor commits to buy $1,000 worth of BTC every week at a strike price of $94,500, with a knock-out level of $115,000. The strike price of $94,500 is 90% of the current spot price of around $105,000. In other words, the investor is now mandated to snap up coins at a discount, assuming the spot price holds above the strike price of $94,500 and below the knock-out of $115,000. If BTC tops the knock-out level, the structure is terminated. If the price falls below $94,500, the investor doubles the weekly purchase to $ 4,000 at the same strike, i.e., $94,500 – there is no way out, meaning the investor ends up buying at a price higher than the prevailing market rate. (this is why it gets the nickname "I kill you later.") Hence, the accumulator is not suitable for day traders, short-term traders and speculators and may not necessarily outperform DCA in a bear market. Orbit backtested a three-month BTC accumulator, spanning from January 2023 to June 13, 2025, assuming the investor continuously rolled into a new one upon reaching maturity or a premature knock-out event. Results show an average BTC acquisition cost of $39,035 for the accumulator, which is 10% lower than the DCA average purchase price of $43,329. The DCA involved investing a fixed dollar amount in BTC every week. Longer maturity accumulators of 6 and 12 months performed even better, achieving average costs of $37,654 and $32,079, respectively, outperforming DCA by 13% and 26%.
