I have a 7-fold bet?

LOL, i put some money on 8 sports bets in a 7-fold but am unsure as to how it works?

Do i still need all of the bets to go my way? If so, what's the difference between this 7-fold (why is it not an 8-fold as there are 8 bets?) and one 8 bet accumulator?

As in... "All combinations of 7-fold accumulator bets," with 8 bets.

Figured it out, after some confusion. I have a 7-fold bet x8 accumulator on 8 bets, so if two or more of those bets fail to win, i get nothing because i'd only have six or less wins, therefore rendering no 7-folds successful. Haha, but if none lose i will get the accumulated total of each 7x or 8x bets. Sweet! Much better than one straight 8-bet accumulator. At least i can have one bet wrong and still get some money.

But dont you have to pay more to get a 7-fold bet? To cover one loss?

7 bets is still a lot to get right. The most I usually do is 4 or 5 bet accumulators. Any more would be too excrutiating watching soccer saturday.

Yup, i've got 8x 16.92 stake on the following:

Egypt, Federer, Arsenal, Hibernian, Madrid, Chelsea, Barca & Juve
