I know nothing about betting but every now and then I might buy a lottery ticket, and it's always rankled because the odds are so bad.
I was thinking that you could "build your own" lottery ticket by placing a £1/2 bet on a single very unlikely outcome or (more traditionally) an accumulator, with a payout similar to a lottery win, but it's a faff, and (I believe that) betting companies have caps on what they will pay out, so there'd be no point accumulating odds above a certain threshold.
Ideally I'd just bet on the outcome (or a partial outcome - say the first 5 numbers drawn) of the regular lottery, but I think betting on the outcome of the UK lottery, while resident in the UK is not allowed.
Does anyone know whether any betting app offers something like this already?
