Reality check

I've just depressed myself by coming to the conclusion that the chances of Cambridge, Grays and Lewes all winning on Saturday and us winning at havant are remote in the extreme.

 

Ironically i think the gate will win.

 

Cookie-you seem up on all this odds stuff-what odds can you get on that quadruple set of results all happening.

I dont make up the odds I just relay them to you. You would have to ask the major bookmakers for your answer, though in my estimated opinion the odds would be, for all those things to occur on the same day, not as long as you would think. Call Ladbrokes. Am sure they would quote a price (possibly) as they generally give odds on almost anything.

Will wait and see what the individual odds are for all those teams you mention to win are, and work out a win accumalator and see what the accumalative odds work out at.

You lost me Cookie halfway through the last paragraph, but there again maths was never my strongest subject.

Say for instance all 4 games win odds for those teams are 3-1.

If you have a pound on the first team to win at 3-1 it returns you £3 + your stake back totalling £4.

Then that £4 goes onto the next at 3-1. Your return will then be 3 x £4 = £12 + your stake back of £4 = £16.

Then on the third game this amount goes on at 3-1 which returns you 3 x £16 = £48 plus your stake back of £16, totalling £64.

Finally, on the fourth game you place all this amount on at 3-1. Your returns are then 3 x £64 = £192 plus your stake back of £64 totalling £256 in all.

 

So from the original £1 you have laid out your total return on 4 winners at 3-1 will be £256.

 

This equates to the total accumalative odds of 255-1. That would be the accumalative odds for 4 winners at those prices.
