Sure you can. If you can do singles and you can do multiple bets then you can do any of the things that you named. They're just combinations of bets.

How do you connect them all?

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!

Yes thats a very strange scenario you mentioned at the bottom there but I wouldn't complain I'd just place a bet,especially given that Kallis was the 5th wicket was he not??
You would have got decent odds on Swann being the best bowler in both this match,the last match and the series.Not sure what the series stats are looking like right now but he has to up there in Englands stats which isn't bad going given that he didn't play the first 2 tests

The same thing happened to me with my brother. I think he got one since i never get that

I tried it a few times since but had no luck so nowadays I trim it down to 3 draws which is alot more manageable and odds are roughly minimum 35/1.Worth 50p from down the back of the sofa I'd say.Still unlikely though hard to call draws.I think you'd be better off with a higher stake and taking 3/4 home wins from the long list.I've had my fingers burned with some of these 'bankers' in the past.Greed is a bastard

Ah, I see what you're saying. Do all the singles, doubles, trebles etc the "long way".

Yeah, you still only need one slip though and most bookmakers would accept 'patent' or 'round robin' written on the slip as clear enough instruction.

Still gutted with the John-Juarez decision that kept me from earning 100+euro

I like MAB TKO next week against Khan @ 10/3 with Ladbrokes

If you fancy Khan to get knocked down in round 1 its 10/1

I would be gutted if the John thing happened to me. Good job I was only 13 when Lewis stood Holyfield on his head the 1st time!

I really meant getting those type of boxing bets on over the Internet, I suppose I should get off my arse and go down the shop myself.

Imagine paying 500 quid to go over and watch it....

Just got £180 from 1 from each section

Millwall with the last kick of the game after sky made a mistake saying huddersfield took the lead

[TFFP]

Liverpool clean sheat, 7/4 on Betfair

Real Madrid wouldn't have scored past a nursery team in the first leg, don't fancy em at Anfield.
