British Forum BETTING thread

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

 

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

 

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

See what odds that gets

 

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

Cricket is much easier!

 

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.

 

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

 

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 ****, I'll be winning every week"............atsch

 

Once got 4 draws!Belter!113/1

 

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!
