Sequential lay calculator for accumulators
Work out the lay stake for each accumulator leg when the matches do not overlap and you are laying one selection at a time.
This calculator follows the same sequential lay approach used in PocketProfit: place the bookmaker accumulator first, lay the first leg, then only move to the next lay if the previous selection wins.

How to use sequential laying
Lay the first leg only. If that selection wins, update the next leg lay odds and place the next lay stake. If a selection loses or draws in a win-only market, stop laying because the bookmaker accumulator is already dead.
Make sure the matches do not overlap and keep enough exchange balance available for the maximum possible liability if every leg keeps winning.
