Betting on horse racing is always a tricky proposition. From the moment that the horses take to the field, any number of things can happen that might end up in a selection that you felt was a good bet coming up short. They might unseat their rider, for example, or simply not run as fast as you were expecting. In the world of National Hunt racing you’ve got the likelihood of them refusing a jump or falling. When you start to talk about accumulator bets on horse racing, the odds become even bigger. That might be why Unibet are offering Acca Boosts for those of you that win your accumulator placed on horse racing.
What the Offer From Unibet Actually Is
If you’re the sort of person that likes to place accumulator bets on horse racing then you might want to consider doing so with Unibet. The company, aware that such wagers are popular amongst people that like to bet on horse racing, are offering the chance for people to boost their accas up to three times a day. The more legs that the accumulator you’ve placed has, the larger the boost that they are willing to give you. The boost is paid out in cash, so you don’t need to worry about having to meet any wagering requirements or anything like that before you’re able to withdraw the winnings into your account and do what you want with it.
The obvious question that most people will ask is what the boost amount will be for each acca size. Here is a look at the answer to that question, bearing in mind that the maximum stake that you can use per boost is £20:
| Number of Legs in Acca | Boost Amount |
|---|---|
| 3 Legs | 10% |
| 4 Legs | 15% |
| 5 Legs | 20% |
| 6 Legs | 30% |
| 7 Legs & Over | 40% |
Imagine that you’ve placed a bet of £20 on an accumulator with cumulative odds of 10/1. It wins, meaning that you will receive £200 in winnings plus your original stake back. If you’ve used one of your boosts on it, though, it increases the amount that receive back as winnings depending on how many legs were in the accumulator. Here is how the winnings would look for each of those leg amounts, presuming it’s a £20 bet on a 10/1 acca:
| Legs | Original Winnings | Boost % | Boosted Winnings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | £200 | 10% | £220 |
| 4 | £200 | 15% | £230 |
| 5 | £200 | 20% | £240 |
| 6 | £200 | 30% | £260 |
| 7+ | £200 | 40% | £280 |
Obviously the exact amount of winnings will depend on the odds of your accumulator as well as your initial stake, but that should give you some sense of the amount of extra cash that could be added to your payout. You should also remember that you’ll be paid your stake money on top of that too, though your stake amount itself won’t be boosted.
How to Use Your Acca Boost
When it comes to taking advantage of the boost, it is reasonably simple to do. All you need to do is to follow these steps:
- Add the selections you want to your betslip
- Open the section that says ‘MULTIPLE OPTIONS’
- Enter your stake amount, which can be up to £20
- Click on the ‘Acca Boost’ button that is located with the betslip
Once you’ve placed your bet you will then be able to see your bet along with any other bets that you’ve placed in your ‘My Bets’ or ‘Open Bets’ section. The relevant ones will be marked ‘Acca Boost’ next to the odds.
Understanding the Small Print
Unibet are keen to ensure that you understand the promotion’s terms and conditions, so there is some small print associated with it that it is worth drawing your attention to. The first thing to know is that eligible accounts will get three acca boosts every day, which become live at midnight and can be used up until 23.59 of the same day. If the boosts aren’t used within that time period then they disappear, so they don’t rollover for use the following day. The boosts can be obtained regardless of whether you use the company’s desktop site, mobile app or the site on a tablet or mobile phone.
In terms of the type of bet that you can use your boost with, it is only win wagers. If you choose to place an each-way bet then only the win part of it will receive the boost, with the place part being paid out without. You can’t make use of boosts with specials nor on future events. The promotion is only for horse racing and greyhound racing accumulators, so any accas placed on the likes of football or tennis, say, won’t count. Similarly, you won’t be able to take advantage of the best odds guarantee if you have chosen to use an acca boost on one of your accumulator bets.
You can’t make use of any free bets that you might have if you’re planning on using a boost, whilst Rule 4s could apply in cases when a horse is withdrawn in a race that you’ve included in your acca. Should a horse that you’ve included in your accumulator end up not running, the acca and the boost will be adjusted accordingly. In other words, a seven-fold acca with two horses withdrawing will be treated as a five-fold acca. If it transpires that you’re left with just one horse, the boost will be cancelled and added back to your account so you can re-use it. All of Unibet’s standard Ts & Cs also apply to this promotion.
