[Football] Question for you betting people

[neilbard]

You can include a team in the acca that is shorter than 1/5, BUT if the acca misses by one, you will not get the stake back as a free bet. That only applies if every match is longer 1/5.

I know this from experience. I wasn't aware of that rule, and had an acca before lockdown that missed by one. I queried why I didn't get the free bet and it was pointed out to me that one match in my acca was 1/6 so it didn't qualify for the free bet.

Wasn't giving you a thumbs up because you didn't get the free bet, I rarely do acca's, but that is good to know.

What they should have said is five to one on and not one to five on.

Yep - think I muddied the waters but my only concern was that I was right in thinking they were wrong with the terminology. And I like to be right. Especially over minutia that no-one else cares about!

Are you sure they didn't say each leg has to have minimum odds of 1.5?

i need a nurofen after that

1.5 on wouldn't make sense. I'm sure it was 1 to 5 on they said. I got what they meant but wondered if the terminology had changed.

Had this very conversation with my son the other day

I said to him 'picked a horse out today,won at 6/4'

He said 'What!'

I said you know put on 40 quid to win 60

He replied 'oh,you mean 2.5'

I replied 'What!'

Very probably - just a bit worrying that they work for Paddy Power!

Yean they’ve made a mistake. “1/5 on” makes no sense.

[Questions]

As I haven't got around to putting my iPod back in the car after its hiatus, I endured Talksport for a short trip to the shops. One of the ads was an Acca deal (Paddy Power I think) where you miss one and get a free bet. I am sure in the T&Cs at the end, they said that every leg had to be a minimum of 1/5 on. I always thought 1/5 was 5 to 1 on. Is 1/5 technically 1/5 on or just 1/5? Stupid things like this bugging me are on of the reasons I am sure I am a bit OCD but thought I would check if I am right to be annoyed.

It’s written as 1/5 but spoken as 5/1 on. Newbies who bet solely on football should keep out of this. If you did your days in the bookies on the nags then I will have some respect for your opinion.
