Liverpool v Man City Total Cards

I bet on under 7 cards in Liverpool v Man City and it is showing as lost on B365.

I count 6 cards in the game (counting Gravenburch’s 2 yellows as 2 cards).

Can anyone tell me where I am not understanding the rules so that I can make peace with it.

Why do accumulators become so tempting when you already have a few good picks?

There is something psychologically satisfying about adding one more selection to an accumulator. You might have four matches you really like and then see another game where the favorite looks obvious, so adding it feels harmless.

The problem is that every extra selection creates another way for the whole ticket to lose. Platforms such as Betway, Bet365, and Betting .co.zw can show plenty of markets, but having more options does not necessarily mean you need to use more of them.

I think comparing a simple single bet with the same selections combined into an accumulator is a useful exercise. The potential return looks much more exciting in the second version, but the probability of getting everything right changes too.

Do you normally prefer singles or accumulators, and has your preference changed after tracking your results for a while?
