No sweat Ron, amended as asked. Cheers.

Thanks for doing all this again Ron I think I'll have another bash at it this season after last year's successful campaign

 

Cheers Greeny. Just to make things easier, would you mind (in future) posting your bets like Guy. It's just that I don't have the multiple bets automated and I just record them as a note. Thanks

Not a bad start

 

Thank you, Ron. Some cracking bets come in today on here

 

That is a nice start, I will try not to blow it on a silly bet next week.

 

I seem to recall you having some decent doubles last season CW

 

Note to self:- You are still crap at the betting. In future don't back your own club.

 

In all the time I've been running this competition greeny I could count on one hand (maybe even 1 finger) how many multiple bets with 4 or more selections have shown a profit worth having. Very rarely a treble comes up. The problem is, at football odds, if you have more than 1 loser, all the losing bets cancel out any profit from the winner(s). I once had a 4match accumulator up but that was randomly selecting the results of the first 4 matches and sticking to that until it came up (ie regardless of who was playing). I thought, statistically, that sequence should come up once in a season. Even then I was lucky because it was a week when my stake had been increased
