Just thought I'd share an idea that I've had and have been using since the start of the season every week. I really don't know why I didn't do this years ago, it's earning me a few quid lol.

It works like this. Take Che£$ki, Liverpool and United. Put on the following bets:

3 x £1 singles
1 x £1 treble
£0.40 Patent (7 lines)
£0.50 Trixie (4 lines)
£0.40 Doubles (3 lines)

It'll cost you £10 in total every week. All you need is for 2 out of 3 teams to win and you'll more or less get your stake back, if all 3 win then you're looking at around a £10 profit. Over the course of a season you will lose every now and then but the wins will outweigh the losses by far.

Should any of the three play each other then I personally leave that bet and choose to bet on another 'banker' like Real Madrid or Barcelona in the Spanish league. You really can't go wrong with this bet. :)
 
Hardly a waste of money. The idea of betting is to make a profit, using the above betting system I started off with £10 and now have £58 in my account. By the end of the season I'll guarantee that I'll be over £100 in profit. I'd rather place a bet that's likely to come in rather than place money on a long shot that's unlikely to come in that'll give me a bigger return.

That's the mistake that so many people make, and why the bookies make so much cash.

If you took £100 and placed it on Celtic every week you would be well up by the end of the season assuming you could cope with a couple of unexpected results.

if you can guarantee youll be 100 quid into profit, why not take out a 100k loan, do the same with put that on every week and at the end of the season withdraw the million? ;)
 
Lol, my credit rating is pants...I couldn't borrow a fiver let alone £100,000 lol :D

And the difference between betting on Celtic every week and placing the bets I've detailed above is that the return is better and that you only have to have 2 out of 3 results come in to get your stake back give or take a pound or two.
 
£100 over a season is pretty bad considering the time span and effort involved.

I'd be tempted to do small stakes 4 or 5 team accumulators to get a return on that tenner.

Would you rather be £100 up over a season doing something for fun, or be greedy trying to win big, losing constantly? Picking any 5 teams to win is bloody hard. One always lets you down, and you've got 2 outcomes against you.
 
Doing that bet means you are betting every weekend, and to make only £100 as a result over an entire season is a bit of a wasted effort, considering how much money you could be making.

Predicting 4 or 5 results isn't as hard as it sounds, people just need to look at the teams and not the odds. Granted a lot of the time it doesn't come in but one will eventually, and you get plenty of goes with £10.
 
I remember reading if you put £10 on Chelsea winning 1-0 every week you'd show a decent profit by the end of the season, that was in the Jose Mourinho era though.

Are you serious? Are you a gambler? If you are you are going very far wrong.

If you attempt to listen to what i said it all becomes clear.


You need a few quid to start with, no doubt.

Put £100 on celtic to win every game.

Do this over a 38 game season.


Check bank balance in May.

I agree in principle with what you are saying but I really can't see the point in placing 3 singles on Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool. Just placing the accumulator and the doubles will increase your profit margin. If only one team wins you aren't going win much anyway are you???
