My New Reason to Hate Liverpool

hehe, almost every weekend I put a 15 way accumulater on because, its a laugh and I've come incredibly close twice. I got 12/13 right a couple years back and was about 30 minutes from winning something like 150k. :(

I won a few shorter odds ones with 7-8 picks, there are better sites out there for more interesting bets. I stopped using paddy power because my card went a bit mad and the site wouldn't let me use a different one. But with them you could stack up bets like Fabregas first scorer and a 3-2 score line, team winning at half/full time to get a silly odd's bet on a single game. Won about £400 that game that Henry scored away at Real and with final score, goal scorer and something else aswell as a couple other games that night thrown in.

Skybet I've been using laterly, I think just because there was some sign up decent deal a year back like put £50 in and they matched it, can't quite remember. They are more strict, max 15 games on accumulator and you can't mix up single game bets like with paddy power, they are all singles only.

I'll often do a 15-20p insane accumulator, and a 50p 5-8 team one, in the last year I've put about £150 in bets in and won about £180 back.

Paddy power let you go up to 20, or maybe 25 picks, so you could get some insanely stupid bets like 20p with a pay out of 1-2mil if all 20-25 games came back, never got close to winning one of those shockingly :p
 
A question on lay betting. This is essentially betting an outcome will NOT happen I see. I also am finding ridiculously large odds.

Have I got this right :

Hull City V Arsenal

Score : 3-0 - lay odds 310. If I were hypothetically to place a £2 lay bet would :

I win if any score except 3-0 occurs and therefore I recieve this (idiot/)guy's £310, plus my stake back of £2 taking it to £312.
I quite surprisingly lose (i.e. Hull beats Arsenal 3-0), I then have to match his 310 at the price I took this bet on at £2 (therefore having to dish out £720).

If I could I'd bet quite a lot of money on a 3-0 home win not happening, why has this person created a bet like that? Would I be the only person able to take the bet on or can lots of people?

Lille was 10/1 in the 80th minute, told a friend to bet on them at that point and he didn't. :p

Also aston villa/everton/arsenal looks a good treble this week gives about 9/1 some bookies 10/1.

By the way if you are feeling lucky then fulham/west ham double this week, £1 returns £240 lol.(worth trying to be honest, not going to happen but if it did you'll be ****ed off and if it failed care about £1. ;) )
 
If you're feeling extra lucky, West Ham, Hull, Fulham and Blackburn all to win is 12,431/1 :p

I do like putting accumulators on once in a while, but don't do it quite so often any more. Still, never topped up my Skybet account since I originally loaded it 4 years ago, so it's all just going up and down really, gets me excited about some other games I'd normally tend to ignore.

Just noticed, you can add Portsmouth to that and get 161,605/1 :D Be gutting if Liverpool finally managed a win after the top 4 lost and blew that for you. Still, it is Portsmouth. And it's all kindof pointless anyway.

Not quite.

If you're laying at 310 for £2, you're offering someone 310/1 for their £2.

If any other score comes in, you win the person's £2 that they're staking.

If Hull win 3-0, that person's bet £2 on your 310/1, so you'll be paying them £620.

Another example:

If you layed Arsenal to win at odds of 1.5 for £20, your liability is £10 ((20 x 1.5) - 20). If Arsenal win, you pay out £10. If Arsenal don't draw or lose, you win £20.

Aye £620 :o typo.

Cheers.

Have I got this right for the last sentence? If I saw the lay option for an Arsenal win at 1.5, and I stuck £20 on it...If they win, I pay out the product of the odds and bet, minus the bet (so stand to lose £10). If Arsenal don't win (i.e. draw or lose) I win the amount I bet, which is £20.

I think a good bet might be an each-way goalscorer yankee. I notice some players score week in, week out, notably Lambert for Southampton, Holt for Norwich, Rooney for Man Utd, Nolan and Lovenkrands for Newcastle, Fabregas for Arsenal..

If they're all playing poor(ish) teams, pick any 4 and find a bookie that pays ALL goals scored in the e-w bet.

It's an £11 outlay but if your 4 score first you'll get a nice return. Even if they're all 3/1 you'll get £128 for the accumulator part of the yankee alone :)

I meant to add Le Fondre for Rotherham in this too.

Lovenkrands @ 9/1
Rooney @ 11/4
Le Fondre @ 9/2
Holt @ 4/1

1st 3 scored first, Holt scored 2nd. If you'd have done what I suggested you'd have won £238.88 for those 4. ;)

Aye £620 :o typo.

Laying can be tricky to get used to, but once you understand it it's easy. If you're laying Arsenal, you're not sticking £20 on it at 1.5. You're offering someone £20 at 1.5, and you're risking (20x1.5). But you're correct with the last bit, spot on :)
 
Done £10 on villa tonight as single bet won £22 from that.

Cska, inter and villa all to win as treble £1 which won and gave me £93.:D
