You’re betting £525 on that 7-fold? Especially after that bet you placed with all the five-folds lost?

This is one five fold. 21x£25 bets. They're free bets that I put in around an hour a day to get and cost me around £3 each.  On average one in four of my accas win. 

This probably won't win, but a stack of them will and I'll be 5 figures up in the season.

So 21 bets with that exact accumulator?

 

Would love to know how manage to get twenty odd free bets of that value every couple of days

Yeah, same acca. I was placing up to 15 per week last season and I've decided that from here on I'm putting all my eggs in the same basket. It shouldn't have really make much difference to the overall outcome by the end of the season. Rather than asking 30 teams to win at a time I'm only asking 5. I'm obviously ramping up the volume a bit as well. I'd rather have big wins once every few weeks than a little a lot.

Good luck mate. Hope you manage to get some cash from the bookies.

 

i’m mostly sticking to low stake bet builders at high odds. Had these two up so far so well up :thumbsup:

Nice. Very obscure! 

Those are far too specialised for me. I won't pretend to know loads about football, all my bets are based on maths and probability.

Bet 365 doing another one of those offers for the World Cup final on Sunday. Bet a certain amount (will specify your amount through email or while on the app) then get the same amount as a free bet to use in-play.

 

What I do is bet pre match on BTTS First Half No - odds are usually ranging from 1/7- 1/10 so you only make a couple of quid and then in-play I bet BTTS First Half Yes - which means I am guaranteed to at least make a little bit of money.

Used to do that mate when I was getting £50 bet but they only give me £10 now so usually stick it on something higher odds now

How do they gage how much they give you? I used to get 10 but have been getting 25 for the past few months? I assume it’s either how much you bet or how often

Thought it was based on how much you’ve won. They cut mine to £10 after a £750 coupon I got up

Thinking I may go for France to score a Penalty 6/1 in this one, pre-match, then just see how game goes for free bet. No reason other than not been a pen in last few games.

Never used them as affiliation of The Sun.

 

Good news, hopefully another nail in the coffin for that lot.

I agree, but they had an OK sub and done decent offers on Cheltenham for the last two years.

Season accumulators.

 

Round about now I put on a season long acca. 5 or 6 outcomes and a £20 stake looking to return £600 plus if it comes in.

I'm struggling to see value in 6 selections this season.

 

Got it up 3 seasons ago with a return of £750.

 

Anyone else doing this, or got one on already ?

Some absolute certainties out there at low odds which added together make a decent accumulator. Things like Hearts to finish top 6 @ 4/9, Liverpool to finish top 4 @ 1/4 etc.

 

I’ve also gone with the following:

Fulham relegated 15/8

MK Dons promoted 6/4

Salford promoted 11/10

Stoke promoted 6/4

Sunderland promoted Evens

 

 

St Mirren to finish bottom 7/2

Bolton relegated Evens

Wycombe relegated 11/8

Liverpool top four 1/4

Hearts top six 4/9

Barca win league 8/11

Odds on Chelsea must be pretty high mate. Can’t see any way they’ll finish above Liverpool, Man Utd and Tottenham. Especially when they’re probably going to lose their two best players.

Uche spl top goal scorer was 50/1 on bet victor. 

Now down to 40s , must be some interest in him. 

 

16/1 for league cup , worth a few quid.

Think Salford to get promoted at EVENS is virtually buying money. The amount the owners are pumping in there is way beyond any of the other clubs and they’ve signed two strikers who could play at Scottish Prem/English Championship level easily. Even if they aren’t clear by January, the owners will pump more money in.

 

Liverpool to finish top four at 1/4 and us to finish too six at 4/9 are also buying money imo.

Funnily enough I emailed Bet365 this morning and they quoted me 2/1 for us to finish above them. I thought that it was a bit short given the way they have priced both teams in other markets.

so, based on others suggestions as well as my own, I done

 

Salford outright

Juventus outright 

Barcelona outright

MK Dons Promotion

Sunderland outright

Liverpool without City

 

£10 pays a shade over £2000

Good chance of that coming though suspect Sunderland may ruin a few bets this season!

Racing Post preview pull-out in today's paper.

Has us down for 5th. Cheeky barstewards at Racing & Football Outlook had us down for 7th ? behind Killie & Well in their preview last week.

No Hearts-based tips in the recommended ante-post portfolio. The less said about that portfolio the better.

Looking at the prices tables, BetFred have us at a standout 40/1 without Celtic, though it's a win only book?.

Handicap lists see Hills giving us 36pts. (Huns 14, Sheep 22, Vermin 30, Killie 38, Well & Sainties 44, Dundee 46, Accies 48, Paisley 50, Livi 52. God knows how they work handicaps out in a league with a split?.) Might be worth a bet. SkyBet, Bet365 and BetFred give us only 28pts... Even though BetFred have easily the best odds about us in that market without the fiddy-kiddlers?.

The price swayed me on Sunderland. They have to recover at some stage and hopefully they’ve gone down as far as they are going to. 

 

On Liverpool it was a toss up between them and Utd. It’ll be close but i think Liverpool are just a wee bit better equipped than Utd. I actually fancy Liverpool to win it this season. Manufactured teams like City quite often follow a good season with a bad season.

Was reading yesterday that bookies are reporting more than half of all bets placed on EPL are on Liverpool to win the league. I think they’re currently another top centre-back away from being neck and neck with City.

I've decided to go with that. Getting £935 from a fiver, and that's with a bet boost on Ladbrokes as well so mibbies an odds shift, not in my favour ?
