Ladbrokes 5-A-Side ACCA Bets

Ladbrokes have launched a new type of football ACCA bet called 5-A-Side. It's kinda like playing fantasy football, as you create ACCA's in much the same way that you'd pick a team.

You can build a Ladbrokes 5-A-Side ACCA by picking one of six different team formations, and then selecting five players from the nine types of different player that the game offers.

Then simply select a different match statistic to bet on regarding each of your player’s performances, and Ladrokes.com will come up with the odds for the ACCA you just created.

How Ladbrokes 5-A-Side Works

Although Ladbrokes 5-A-Side isn't a game, it's an innovative way of creating a 5-Fold ACCA, it does feel like it is due to how similar the experience is to playing football manager type games.

Anyway, in order to be able to build your football ACCA you'll need to be a member. Check out the latest Ladbrokes signup offer if you've yet to join this British Bookmaker.

Once registered, here's how Ladbrokes 5-A-Side works:

• Log in to your account via their website or App.
• Head to the 5-A-Side section under Promotions.
• Select 1 of the football fixtures you want to base your team on.
• Build your side by first choosing which formation you want to play.
• Next, simply select the 5 players that you want in each position.
• Then pick the thing you'd like to bet on each player achieving in the game, for example how many shots a player will have, or how many tackles they'll make in the game etc.
• Ladbrokes then come up with the odds for your 5-Fold ACCA bet.
• Place the bet if you think that the odds are good enough.

As you can see from the step-by-step guide to creating an ACCA above, it's quite like how football manager, or fantasy football works, only Ladbrokes 5-A-Side is for real money!

One of our favourite aspects of 5-A-Side is that Ladbrokes have managed to get OPTA to provide the player statistics, meaning you have access to key data on each player.

This includes data on a range of stats including the number of tackles, passes, assists, or shots per game players average on a per game basis, or how often they're offside or get carded.

All of this data gives you a bit of an advantage over how you normally create ACCA bets as there's lot more information at your finger tips to base your 5 selections on.

So, if you’re a football fan, or enjoy playing fantasy football, this latest ACCA innovation from Ladbrokes is going to be right up your street as it’s so easy to get involved.

We really enjoyed the fact that once you've placed a Ladbrokes 5-A-Side ACCA, it gives you so much more to look out for in the match, and rewards you for your knowledge and insight.

It also gives you full control over what your bet on, and really tests your player-picking abilities.

Ladbrokes 5-A-Side Formations

Ladbrokes offer a number of formations to choose from when building your 5-A-Side ACCA.

Depending on what football matches are being played, and what players are available when you want to place your bet, your formation could, and probably should change each time.

When it comes to choosing which formation to select, there are 6 available to choose from:

BALANCED (1-1-2-1): A simple, disciplined and balanced formation from defence to attack.

ALL OUT ATTACK (1-1-0-3): If you think it’s all about goals, then this is the setup for you.

PARK THE BUS (1-3-0-1): Good if you expect your team will spend a lot of time defending.

RUSH GOALIE (0-1-2-2): A good option if you think the goalie is going to be working hard.

SHOOT ON SIGHT (1-0-2-2): Good if you’re expecting defenders to struggle during the match.

GUNG-HO (0-1-1-3): Load up on strikers and supplement with 1 defender and 1 midfielder.

We've found that each of the formations you can choose in Ladbrokes 5-A-Side ACCA's have their pros and cons, and you’ll need to choose which suits the match and players the best.
