Accumulators

by Spanky Sat 5 Feb - 23:25

Am I the only mug who puts these on?

Have had luck in the past (always remember signing up to 888.com, getting a free tenner and putting a bet on 7 premier league games saying at least 5 of my guesses would be right, winning £10.34, placing the winnings on 5 random Brazilian Division 2 games and winning £110 from it), where-as I've regularly had the heartbreak that is a last minute equalizer/winner costing me a win.

Still on the go with them though and overall I'm still up on my winnings too!
Today I shall be (in some cases reluctantly) hoping that the following teams win:

Man City
Carlisle
Oldham
Chesterfield
Bournemouth

There's £60 riding on it!

by Guest Sun 6 Feb - 1:48

I need..

Man City
Arsenal
Man Utd
Leicester
Bournemouth

your both screwed guys being a cherries fan i know very well leyton orient always get the better of us (Bogey team) in the same way we always beat brentford

by Spanky Sun 6 Feb - 4:00

It seems like I was screwed like a lightbulb, ah well! There's always next week! Smile

by Guest Wed 9 Feb - 3:26

You doing one for the midweeks, Spanky?

by Spanky Wed 9 Feb - 5:51

Giving it a consideration, I may log into my skybet account, see what odds I can get on Huddersfield, Rochdale, Bury and Shrewsbury to win

by BCFCCOOPS Wed 9 Feb - 6:09

The best bets for lower league teams is to bet on goals...

Ie.. Both teams to score or over 2.5 goals.

Ive gone £5 on huddersfield 5-0 at 50-1.

Gillingham v rotheram both to score
leyton orient v swindon both to score
Rochdale v bristol rovers over 2.5 goals
only a £5 on not sure what i get back but it builds a steady pot..

by BCFCCOOPS Wed 9 Feb - 6:17

Also handicap betting..
Ie.. -1,-2 giving teams a headstart in goals..

I tend to do this with barcelona, real madrid, porto etc mainly the big teams..
You get a lot better odds cause sometimes barcelona will be 1/7 to win no value at all but if you handicap them the odds are generally evens or 4/6 ish..

by Guest Wed 9 Feb - 9:06

I WON!!!!!!

by BCFCCOOPS Wed 9 Feb - 9:17

What you have king????

by Guest Wed 9 Feb - 9:29

Rochdale, Bury and Orient, 7/1.

Lost out on another cause Hereford conceded a 90th minute equaliser.

by BCFCCOOPS Wed 9 Feb - 10:55

Thats big odds for 3 homes..

Hereford let me down for a 5fold 20/1 shot.

by Spanky Wed 9 Feb - 11:17

£50 profit! got 10's for the 4 above, fiver on and 55 back!

by Guest Wed 9 Feb - 21:51

You doing any tonight?

May have a flutter on a few internationals!

by Spanky Wed 9 Feb - 21:54

by Guest Mon 14 Feb - 8:57

are there any sites online whereby you can enter your teams, and it will show you what the winnings will be?
Ive had a look on sky bet and cant find it, or do i need to create an account first?

YI this week i will have some champions league odds up and the darts you asked for

by BCFCCOOPS Mon 14 Feb - 9:05

Y I if you go on skybet and select your games and the result of the game ie.. Man utd to win.
They will accumulate your choices and give you odds and different available bets ie.. Four folds five folds etc..
Hope this helps!!
You will have to sign up to actually bet..

by Guest Mon 14 Feb - 9:06

cheers coops thumbsup

by BCFCCOOPS Mon 14 Feb - 9:09

Ill be posting midweek bets feel free to copy..
Not had any luck the weekend though lol.

by Guest Mon 14 Feb - 9:14

the odds are rubbish for this weekend's fa cup lol.
Chelsea, Birmingham, Man Utd, QPR, Swansea, Cardiff.
£1 returns £25

by BCFCCOOPS Mon 14 Feb - 9:17

If you go big and put a tenner on youll get 250 lol.
Ive put the word bout the site on 606v1 so hopefully a few jump ship. :shooter:

by Guest Mon 14 Feb - 9:20

Mrs Y I says if im gonna bet a tenna on the football, you have to give me said tenna :606laugh:

by BCFCCOOPS Mon 14 Feb - 9:25

Haha think youll have to stick to the £1 then and build a pot. Very Happy

by Guest Mon 14 Feb - 9:28

thats the plan, although if i add the smoggies i get 80/1
But millwall away could be tricky. Might just play it safe this week being fa cup and all, and do a daft one week after when premiership is back on

by BCFCCOOPS Mon 14 Feb - 9:36

Just do 4/5 team accumalators and build a pot.
Dont silly bet mate.
Otherwise youll get too addicted like me lol!

by Spanky Tue 15 Feb - 5:17

Looking at this weekend I'm tempted to do an 8-teamer:

Man Utd
Stoke
Chelsea
Birmingham
QPR
Swansea
Colchester
Cheltenham

That'd get me 39/1 odds.

I looked on SkyBet and you can get 49/1 for...

Ipswich
Birmingham
Notts Forest
QPR
Reading
Leeds

by Guest Sat 19 Feb - 6:39

i put mine on at lunchtime at Ladbrokes:

'Sensible' one

Man Utd
Leeds
Cardiff
QPR
25-1

'Not so sure, but why not' one
Everton
Stoke
Middlesborough
QPR
Bristol Rovers
144-1

Cardiff and Leeds aren't quite 'sensible', tough games.

by Guest Sat 19 Feb - 6:48

I fancy Leeds to win, on a great roll of form at the moment and at home. 2 players back from internationals, maybes im a bit biased though :606laugh:
Forest wont be able to compete withthe strikeforce of Cardiff, so i went with them.
But hey, what do i know? Ive only won 1 bet out of 15 on the VB :606laugh:
Maybes with the cash on the line i might actually win :lol:

by Fernando Sat 19 Feb - 7:46

your sensible 1 is screwed just by sheer stupidness you know preston( bottom of league) will beat qpr ( top of league) always seems to happen in the championship

by onestepbeyond Sat 19 Feb - 8:14

So I have just put my accumulator on:

Chelsea
West Brom
Stoke
QPR
Swansea
Ipswich
Leeds
Forest/Cardiff (draw) - dont usually place a draw but couldnt see a winner!
Charlton
£1 returns £360 ish

It always looks good on paper but come 5pm I will no doubt be in despair about a last minute equaliser. Anyone else got one on at the weekend? What sites/bookies do people use? Im a bit of a Ladbrokes fanboy and place my bets there more out of familiarity than anything.

by nick_fury Fri 19 Aug - 21:39

Ive had:

Everton
Swansea
Villa
Brighton
@ 14/1 on SkyBet
