Did one at the start of the season. To be fair, i'm not disappointed:

Chelsea
QPR
scunthorpe
Luton

£20 e/w acca pays me around the £43k mark.


Sorry if I'm being stupid but how can you do that E/W?


There's a bet to win the league and another to come in the top three I believe. Could be wrong though. The EW bit of sxp's is almost certainly a winner already.

Virtually all bookies will have it as top 3 apart from the prem, where the much smaller number of potential winners means they tend to offer only top 2.

I wouldn't be quite so sure yet. I'd say that QPR & Luton look pretty nailed on EW with very good win shouts (as all have). The other 2 are obviously very decent shouts but it's a long way out to be calling things nailed on shots (from a man who had Milan as antepost Champions League shots in 2005!).

It might be a good time to be looking to find a way to oppose the likes of scunthorpe and Leicester if you have bets on them as they are at the peak of very good runs of form which will not go on forever. Regression towards a mean and all that.

Ahh yea course cheers. I was thinking that you couldn't do an E/W bet with 4 selections but I suppose it just means that each selection has to be top 3?

...I just put £20 on City, Leicester, scunthorpe, Luton. Would love this to happen!

I think you get 1/4 of the odds if they finish 2nd or 3rd. So if they were 8/1 they pay 2/1. And you get half your stake back

yeah, only problem with the e/w if i get 3 winners and a place it still only pays for the e/w acca. 1 team could basically let me down for around 42k!! I'm presuming it'll be QPR the way Leicester are playing.

ARSENAL 2/9 v fulham
LIVERPOOL 2/9 v villa

scunthorpe 4/5 v afc wimbledon

MBORO 5/6 v charlton

FLEETWOOD 1/1 v hartlepool (cracking price)

The above are good options IMO. Then there is also ones that look good, but then may not be:

LUTON 7/10 v wrexham (pitch inspection at 9am. Prob off)

QPR 8/11 v huddersfield (HT capable for a draw or more)

doncaster v WIGAN 5/6 (5/6 away in the champ isn't great)

Arsenal, Liverpool, scunthorpe is 7/4.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Fleetwood is 2/1.

Probably either of those doubles.


scunthorpe, Fleetwood is 11/4.

Arsenal, Liverpool, scunthorpe, Fleetwood is 9/2.

Look at Easyodds.com and work out who is giving the best odds

Edited by Kermit8 (16 Jan 2014 1.02pm)


I've looked at easyodds and it's rubbish compared to oddschecker which is much more user friendly.

I usually steer well clear of Palace related bets, however we are 11/4 outsiders against Wigan on Saturday which is miles too big. If you don't fancy the win, you can get 9/5 draw no bet with Betvictor. Get on, those prices will definitely go.

Yep, due a poor performance and result and putting Gerrard in was partly the reason.

The one bet I should've done was Swansea/Spurs BTTS and Chelsea to win. CFC was nailed on.

Need a bit of help, was planning (should have done it much earlier) to put a bet on Man City winning all their remaining home games in Premier League, cannot figure out how to get all the fixtures listed on PaddyPower, any ideas or is just going to the bookies and asking best

They wont offer odds for games on the site for next month yet, nevermind in May. Best to ask in shop.

Had a sevenfold come in on Saturday at 45/1.

 


Optimistic as ever

You can't bet on multiple fixtures in advance because they're related. If you ring them up they might quote you a price but it will probably be shorter than the actual bet is worth.

My advice would be to back it on a week by week basis with your accumulating stake and winnings from the previous week, in fact it would amount to the same thing as an accumulator. If you use Oddschecker to find the best price on them each week you will get the most out of your bet.
