    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.

    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 :yep

    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.

    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 :lol:

    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 ****, I'll be winning every week"............:patsch

    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!
