    The original bet was from a £5.

    Sorry, hadn't realised you had replied. Eg WH offering 9/5 beira mar 21/10 the draw

    A tenner on BM to win returns £28
    A tenner on the draw returns £ £31
    £25 staked inc the Acc bet

    So if BM win you make £3 profit
    If it's a draw you make £6 profit
    If nacional win you make £272 profit

    You obviously could stake higher on the first 2 bets to guarantee a larger minimum profit (but also a lower max profit).

    Hope the game hasn't started. If it has then hopefully nacional are winning and you can get better odds in play for the other bets.

    Thanks for your input Ron

    Decided to let the bet run which is now looking stupid with Beira Mar winning 1-0 :(

    Oh dear. The way the scoring went you could have covered your bet. The draw odds would have gone up after the first goal and the home win odds would have eased a bit after the first equaliser.

    Hard luck.
