What is Sky Bet Acca Freeze?

Sky Bet Acca Freeze allows you to freeze a leg of your accumulator if the team you back is winning, it’s a great way to avoid the heartbreak of a late goal ruining your acca. 

Here's an example of how Acca Freeze works:

You place a 5-fold accumulator consisting of the following teams to win; Liverpool, Southampton, Newcastle, Leeds and Chelsea.

If one of these teams takes the lead at any point in the match, you can freeze the result of that match, which will settle that leg as a winner - giving you an enhanced cash out in the process.

For example, Southampton could score an early goal to go 1-0 up, if you freeze this leg while the score is 1-0, this leg will be settled as a winner, even if Southampton go on to draw or lose the game.

Ideally, you would trigger your Acca Freeze selection on the team that you believe has the least chance of winning their match, should they go ahead.

How to Use Sky Bet Acca Freeze

There are plenty of Sky Bet strategies that you can apply to the Acca Freeze promotion, and some can be more profitable than others, although it all depends on the in-game events.

High Odds Acca Freeze

The ideal use of the Sky Bet Acca Freeze existing customer offer is to include an underdog in your accumulator bet, and if you think they can score a goal to go ahead in the match at any point, then they would be the selection you freeze.

I've seen plenty of bettors sharing the perfect use of Acca Freeze on some big odds underdogs who have briefly gone in front in a game, even if it's for just a matter of minutes.

Even if the team you backed to win goes on to lose the game, if you've frozen the selection whilst they were winning, then you'll have that selection settled as a winner.

Depending on the odds of the rest of the accumulator and the stake you've wagered, you can get some sizeable cash-out opportunities, which you could be tempted to take.

Low Risk Approach

Plenty of bettors prefer to play somewhat of a 'low risk' approach with the Sky Bet Acca Freeze promotion, and use it when a team they don't think will hold onto their lead goes in front in a game, regardless of the betting odds of that team to win the match.

It's important to remember that you can only use the freeze once in your accumulator bets, and so you should choose wisely, as a wrong decision could be costly.
