Unlucky mate..... glad I stuck another £15 on!

[TFFP]

Was only £3...just to keep me vaguely awake and interested through this day of hard work

I'm pondering a big March boxing accumulator.

[LHL]

Anyone else started to pick draws in the football these days Every time i do draws i win

[Beeston Brawler]

I'm tempted to have £5 accumulator on every fight available.....

See what odds that gets

You'll get like 20 on Bet365 for that I'd guess.

[Beeston Brawler]

With boxing though I tend to get a bit greedy and stick one too many fights on..... same with football.

Cricket is much easier!

Dawson, Moore, Klitschko, McCloskey, Braehmer are very useful in an accumulator this month.

Combine them with Rhodes and Khan/MAB and you'll get something good but realistic. Start combining like 13 and you push your luck in my experience

I'm not a big fan of accumulators, I always go Yanks, Patents or Round Robins on the horses, at least that way you get money back even if a couple of your picks lets you down, they are more suited to "recreational" betting then accumulators IMHO. Shame you can't do them with boxing.

[Beeston Brawler]

On Skybet you can do allsorts...... but the odds are shite.

[TFFP]

Aye. I've had a few nightmares on accumulators. I've reeled off like 10 picks in a row then one of my last couple lets me down.

Greediness can cost half a grand

What kind of cricket bets do you do??Accumulators??

PS Did you have a few bob on Aus to beat SA when SA were 5 down??You said in another thread that they were 4/9.Thats money in the bank given the result!Mind you,we're so wise after the event

I remember my Dad showing me a fixed odds coupon for the football when I was about 16. Pick 1 result from each of 6 sections and win £400 for a £5 stake....I told him "Thats a piece of piss, I'll be winning every week"............

It does look so easy on paper...

I'm always looking through one by one..."that should happen...that definitely will..."

You don't often get the chance to do accumulators in cricket. You can do allsorts really, best batsman, best bowler etc, as well as calling the results - this can be done prior or during the event as well.

I tend to leave county cricket alone and stick to internationals - best bowlers (for each team) are usually pretty simple. For an ODI series involving Australia you can get decent odds for Nathan Bracken. Add Ponting for best batsman and you have a tidy profit from £5.

Likewise back the home team should a series be in the subcontinent, espec if England are the opposition.

Yes I got 4/9 when they were four down on one website, then evens at 5 down on another - strange!
