The Sports Betting thread

Ah right yeah. Cheese. I never like bets like that where there's no real motivation to score if they're 3 up by half time.

[9 to 5]

97th minute goal at Sheff Utd means I win my treble!

[stokeriño]

Booo Forest, booo.

Had £1 left in my PP account, so put it on a 5 team acca tonight.

Czech Republic (1-0 up at the mo), Belgium, Wales, Holland and Croatia. Pays just over £8 back. I couldn't do the £2 to £1000 challenge, so let's see how the £1 to £100 one works out.

[Baddar]

Haven't really done many bets this season - did take United HT/FT at 19/5 for tonight though! (William Hill)

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

You can get United at 12/1 tonight if you're a new Paddy Power customer. Haven't really got the money to jump on that as I don't get paid till Friday otherwise I'd probably stick a few bob on it.

So I'm looking at putting a bet on the midweek cup fixtures. I was thinking a £1 ACCA on Bournemouth, Chelsea, Sheff Utd and Spurs. The acca winnings bring up £82 won but something called a lucky 15 brings up nearer £300 off a £1.

What is a lucky 15?

[TCO]

That wouldn't cost you £1, it'd cost you £15. You'd be doing 15 seperate £1 bets with all variations of the 4 matches. 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and 1 accumulator.

The £300 would be if every one of them won, any of the 15 bets that win will grant some return.

Ah i see. Cheers man

[TCO]

No worries! It's actually a good bet if you have the money and don't want to be overly risky but still want some sort of decent return!

[Liam]

Depending on prices, you can get some decent returns off of the trebles or even the doubles. Better on horse racing, I think, as 20p Lucky 15 with a couple of 17/2, 8/1 style winners starts to build up quite nicely.

That's unreal! I was happy today with a 5 team parlay of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U, City, and Arsenal $10 down got me $72 and change back

[Colly]

I won £50 off a fiver before being trumped by my brother winning £220, then one of his mates winning three grand. Typical.

[EddieG]

Someone on here I saw on Facebook won just over a grand off a 1.50 bet.

[Thrilla]

I won £66 and thought I was doing well.

If anyone uses Bet365 there is a free live in-play up to $50 on the Liverpool v Swansea match tomorrow, and there have been about 3-5 other free in-plays recently. All you have to do is a make a bet pre-match up to $50 and you get one risk free live in-play for the same amount.

They had another today for Man U/Stoke, played the draw (3.50) before hand and cashed that with the 1-1 final. However I missed my risk free-in play on RVP to score the 2nd goal (5.00) after Stoke went up early. Bet365 just deposits your in-play bet back to you if you don't win.

Cardiff were the first leg of a 6 team acca for the FA Cup weekend. I'll pass on the 52p profit I'm currently being offered to cash out.

Come on Sunderland, Fulham, Southampton, Middlesbrough and Swansea!
