For those who like a cheeky saturday accumulator

[Max Paper]

Always do an accumulator and always £5-£10 tops. It's a bit of fun and often comes in but if it doesn't you've not done your plums

Don't fancy Swindon or Palace to win so have gone for West Brom, Middlesbrough and Tranmere to win. £10 stake with £140 returns.

Both swindon and palace are the risky ones in terms of the odds. Tranmere are the early pace setters and havent been great recently.. they should win but I am not convinced

Give Football Predictor | redcrossbar.com a bosh for accumulators too.

Can I ask that if both the home team and the away team are 6/4, and the draw is 21/10 say, it means that the bookies can't separate the teams, and the draw is more likely? Ta

[MENTION=12908]element[/MENTION] If that is the case I would avoid the bet. There is no value there unless you specify teams teams involved

What no bounce? Good tipping mate, wish I had put something on it! I didn't think West Brom would get the win to be honest.

I had Cardiff, Millwall and Palace to win....£50 treble. Mrs now wants a present.

Shame I didn't see this thread earlier. Safe to say I'm better at winning on the slots at the bookies than my accumulators. I'll keep an eye out for your tweets though and hopefully win a bit of money.

Had a good day today.. Took £150 away from the bookies. Same again next week with a bit of luck

I took Middlesbrough, Swindon, Palace, Everton and West Brom. Staked 5 and won 216 Happy days.

No . It's likely that either team will win rather than a draw (percentages shown below in bold) .

Algorithmic calculation : 6/4 represents a 40% chance . Times that by 2 (both teams) = 80% . The Draw at 21/10 represents a 32.25% chance .
These 2 figures add up to 112.25% (100% + bookies margin [the "overround"] of 12.25% .
To get the true percentage of a possible outcome you now need to take the overround out .
So , 80% ÷ 112.25% = 71.27% and 32.25% ÷ 112.25% = 28.73%
