stevon Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Got some of my money back on predicting two goals in the second half (even though I was hoping for two Man City goals) so ended up losing something miniscule like 50p in total, which isn't bad...

Dai Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Betting is risky full stop. It's a risky game. You shouldn't bet at all if you're shit scared of losing money.Personally I would only do a 4 game accumulator if I had atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segaboyno Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 What you need to do is spend a while finding the best accumulator odds, and then lay about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thats assuming you win all the time when betting, which doesnt happen. So the flipside to your statement is "You bet small, you lose small. You bet big, you lose big". Just like you sticking a tenner on that crazy 10-fold Premiership acc.Trying to claim that betting big is much better because "theres so much more to be had" is a ridiculous statement, IMO. Youre trying to put over that theres no difference between betting big and betting small, only that betting big has much more to gain. You failed to mention the fact that bets lose, therefore you lose miles more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, I could put on fifteen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segaboyno Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Could someone explain the 'trebles' thing to me, please? I don't know why, but I will.If you bet on just one result, it's a single. If you bet on two results, it's a double. And if you bet on three results, it's a treble.However, if you choose 10 teams, it's called an accumulator. However, within these 10 teams, there are a potential of 120 different trebles eg. Teams 123, 124, 125, 126, 238 etc.I normally put on about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
