Never bet against your own team.....

[FleetFanatic]

.....is the moral of today's story.

 

I backed Totenham, Ipswich, Sunderland, Yeovil, Hereford & Chelsea, along with Carlisle all to win & permed them with every other match in the top 5 divisions to be a draw.

 

Overall odds - average of around 90/1 to 100/1 per each draw - you win on every draw if all the other outcomes are correct.

44 bets @ 50p per bet = £22 total loss.

 

Our draw cost me an absolute fortune today! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

Will try again next week.....

Incidently, apart from Gravesend's draw & including the FA Cup at 90 minutes, there were only 9 other draws, which is quite low for 5 divisions.

 

50p @ 100/1 = £50.50 x 9 = £454.50.

 

Normally there are more like 15 draws or more in one weekend.

Extremely good bet with excellent returns.

how do you write this on the betting slip

LOL!!!

 

In a betting shop, simply use a fixed odds coupon, and write the perm instructions on the coupon. I'm told most bookies would take it.

 

I place mine online - I take the 7 teams to win & 1 draw, place bet, retain selections, remove the draw, replace with the next draw, bet again & repeat. Takes me 15 minutes approx on a Friday night / Saturday morning to place around 40/50 bets. The bookie can't argue with that - each bet is seperate.

 

Obviously to win, you'd need the teams you selected to win to do so & even then, you win only on EVERY single draw.

 

One word of warning - don't go for all the teams below 1/2 in odds, such as Arsenal vs Palace tomorrow - Arsenal are 1/4 approx - the returns would be much lower!

 

This perm can be varied to take only 3 banker teams to win, for example - if you took teams at between 8/15 and evens, 3 bankers would win at about 8/1 or 9/1 with each draw.

This might appeal more - as today's effort by myself proved, 1 wrong 'banker' and they all lose!

 

If I had done just 3 bankers - it would have meant another 4 matches to back as draws;

 

Outcome would have been;

48 matches @ 50p = £24

10 draws: 8 x 50p x 10 + 10 stakes returned = £45.

 

This is why I get greedy and pick 6/7 bankers.

 

What boosted today's odds - Chelsea and Hereford were at odds more generous than usual.

I forgot to mention never bet more than you can afford to lose!

 

With this in mind, I have covered Monday to Thursday at a cost of £5.20;

 

33 matches

 

My 7 teams to win 'outright' (you choose your own);

Ajax (evs), East Fife (8/15), Colchester (6/5),

Clyde (8/13), Arsenal (1/5), Schalke (8/5) & Olympiakos (4/5).

 

These selections on ther own return at odds of just over 61/1.

 

However, by perming these selections with the remaining 26 matches in correct score draws of 0-0 & 1-1, the odds increase massively.

 

26 bets @ 0-0, 26 bets @ 1-1 on each game @ 10p (!) per bet = £5.20.

 

If your seven 'outright' selections come in,

any 0-0's & 1-1's pay between £35 & £60,

depending on the odds at time of bet.

 

And if you lose, you've only lost just over a fiver.

Possibly my best value yet.
