In betting, "4 folds" refers to a
4-fold accumulator (also called an "acca"), which is a single bet that combines 4 different selections across 4 separate events.
How it works:
- All 4 selections must win for your bet to be successful
- The odds for each selection are multiplied together
- If any one selection loses, the entire bet loses
- Higher potential returns but lower probability of winning
Example:
If you back 4 football teams at these odds:
Your combined odds would be: 2 × 3 × 2 × 2.5 = 30/1
Where to place 4-fold bets:
Most major UK bookmakers offer accumulators, including:
- Bet365 - excellent accumulator insurance offers
- William Hill - good acca boost promotions
- Ladbrokes - regular enhanced odds on multiples
- Paddy Power - acca insurance and money-back specials
- Sky Bet - request-a-bet feature for custom accas
Tip: Many bookmakers offer "acca insurance" that refunds your stake as a free bet if only one selection lets you down, making 4-folds less risky.
