I was thinking of doing:
Blackburn
Peterborough
Scunthorpe
Leyton Orient
Roughly 16/1 on bet365
Thoughts?

Man City 2. Sunderland 2
Everton 2. Crystal Palace 3
Just two reasons why betting on football is so unpredictable. The more selection you make the great chance the bookie has of fleecing you.
Remember when you toss a coin there is an even money chance of you selecting correctly. With football there are three possible results so you should have a bet that covers two out of the three outcomes and then the odds are on your side 66% against 33%.
A good bet is to have just two bankers and then three selections that also has the draw to go with the home or the away. This means that for a five match prediction you are staking eight possible outcomes:- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 x 1 1 x x 1 x
1 1 x 1 x 1 x x
1 1 1 x 1 x x x
You will be surprised how the draw outcomes can return great odds. I have won over £1000 for a tenner stake more than once. You can calculate the odds for each line and place your stake accordingly.

I think the idea of taking a gamble is that you win!

Oh sorry Bexhillpotter! Have I got that wrong? You're supposed to lose? Instead of coming out with one word expletives try and be a little more constructive. |
