British Forum BETTING thread

A treble of Haye, Hatton, and Froch all to win comes in at about 11/1 with Ladbrokes - 3/1 for Wlad, Pac and Taylor.

edit: someones already on the case

23/1? mmm

 

Khan aswell on the one above.

I think Froch KO rnds 10-12 pays the bills

 

Chelsea -1 goal tonight against everton


5/4

 

could someone explain to me, if u dont mind, what doubles and trebles are and 4 folds and 5 folds etc im a bit thick i cnt work it out from the description on the skybet website

 

A double is where you put say.... Froch and Hatton both to win, treble would be picking 3, 4 folds 4 and so on.

 

I just had a look on my sportingbet account and I can get 28-1 on Froch, Hatton, Haye and Khan all winning.

Only tempted me for a few seconds before I decided against it...

 

this weeks league of ireland bet bohs1-3,cork city 4-7, derry city 8-15 and sligo rovers11-10.i also did a fiver double on united and liverpools reserves.i never knew you could back reserve matches

 

but on sky bet, if i choose 4 outcomes for example, and i put £1 on an accumilstor i win £18, then if i put £1 in the doubles section my estimated winnings are £28, and there description of doubles is "any 2 selections must win for you to clame your winnings"


** actually iv just realised that when i put the £1.00 in the doubles section, my total stake changes to £7 and not £1 which is weird, so they have timesed it by 7, o.k i get it now that was the only issue i had

 

hold on, i put a 15-fold accumilator bet in on william hill and put a £1 stake on (0.04pence) on a double and my estimated winnings were £50, now does that mean only 2 of the 15 events have to win cz if thats the case my £50 is guaranteed, it is virtually impossible that i would lose on that as the bets were on things like man utd beating totenham, and ronnie'osullivan beating his opponent

 

No....

You can pick say 4 teams to win, either as singles, i.e separate bets, doubles (6 bets on the various combinations), trebles (however many combos of 3) or as an accumulator - or even one which combines the singles, doubles, trebles and accumulator.

If you pick 6 doubles at £1 each (£6) it will display your POTENTIAL winnings, should all four win. If only two win your return will be next to nothing probably, three a bit extra and four the full amount.

Once you get used to it.... the whole thing gets much easier.

 

k thanks, its still confusing but atleast i know what i was assuming was incorrect

 

Anybody had anything on the Froch fight??

 

Was going to throw my last fiver on Froch TKO 8th but im already too skint to do it

 

derry city let me down.worth it though as were up to 2nd now
