what is your bet of choice ?

  • win accas
  • both teams to score
  • over/under
  • correct scores 

with the world of betting changing so quickly in recent years since i was young i was wondering what most of you all like to bet on these days , the choices where we can place our money are very wide now , back in the days when i first started gambling it was just home , away or draw and maybe correct score if it was a big game . personally i find trying to find a block of winning teams is very hard unless you are willing to back a bunch of huge favorites that will not return much for your money . 

for me i like to have what i consider value for money , if im going to lose thats fine , but i want to lose knowing iv given myself a chance of winning 100x or 200x my stake , i understand this is not going to happen very often but when it does the win is a lot sweeter , my bet of choice these days is "both teams to score" accas , also note i very rarely do a match under 10/11 , i just dont think thats good value . i dont do these bets for big stakes but i do a lot of them , sometimes my bet stakes will only be 50p in the week days as i work most evenings and cant really keep an eye on all the action , weekends i bet a little bigger and i can keep track of all the games

i started these bets at the beginning of last season and had a nice winning run hitting about 8-10 accas in a short time period , sadly the run came to an end and i dont remember hitting another one in the second half of the season at all , also this season has not gone well either , only managed to hit one so far , but as far as im concerned im happy with my bet of choice , you do not have to lay out a lot of money , you dont care who wins the game , you are just looking for a goal from both sides and its a bet that seems to give more fun to me than agonizing over the result of a game .

interested to know if anyone else does similar bets in accas and how you get on with them ?

Yeh I like this idea of betting, for me when adding quite a few teams/results into a bet with high odds I get frustrated when I miss by one or two especially when you watch the highlights and some dodgy penalty goes for or against you! I've always liked yankee bets, picking 2 draws and 2 wins around evs odds. I would definitely do more acca type bets on a Saturday if I was allowed to be able to sit and watch the scores come in, used to love doing that!

What was the highest odds acca you won on?

hi rolla , pretty sure my best one from last season paid £687 for a £5 6-fold , i stuck in a couple of right dodgy games in the bet ,  i know san marino  was one of them , the match was like 4/1 or 9/2 for both teams to score so that really bumped the bet up , i dont let prices put me off , the bigger the price on the game the better for my like , im only looking for the dodgy team to score 1 goal . even the worst teams out there can get lucky with a free-kick , penalty or corner .

The problem with football betting has and always will be that the odds are shite. Same goes for most 1 x 2 sort of things. Unless you add 4+ matches into an acca your returns are poor and generally one leg will always let you down. I've had a lot more luck betting in-play on bigger matches. I generally wont bet before a game begins and I see what the fucking craic is. Theres a lot of good value in-play which you can find.

I like to find 8 teams i fancy on a weekend and then arrange them into a few 4 folds, an 8 fold btts and an 8 fold "Goal in both halves" bet. I have been 1 goal away on both the goal bets several times..... for some silly returns off relatively small stakes but yeah, usually 1 goal lets me down!

I do a two from each section on the GG bonus coupon at odds of 350/1, it’s ten selections and somewhat of a long shot but a sneaky pound won’t break the bank. I do that along with a match result and BTTS treble and a five or six team accumulator.

On Sat I do a £25 BTTS four team acca and a £25 treble, the BBTS is purely to keep me entertained for the enire 90 - 95 minutes as even if one team is 6-0 down there is still the possibility to get that one goal.  With the treble sometimes you find a team 2-0 down after 10 minutes with a man sent off and the coupon is fit for the bin.

I sit in front of the TV put on Soccer Saturday and do the BTTS coupon like a bingo card circling each team when they score, If I circle all 8 I am collecting.  The amount of weeks I am one away is staggering.

My treble is very often Skybets enhanced treble, I will look at it and if I like the look of it and think it has a chance I will back it if not I will pick something myself.
