    Cheers, WBA, did it a few times last season on the leaders, never came up though but keeps me interested on a Saturday afternoon. Just seen that game was called off, suits me to be honest, not a fan of backing away wins

    I did a few european league leader accas before that have worked. Nowhere ner as good odds as you're getting though. Seems to be going OK so far today


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,201 ✭✭✭wba88


    I never bet on walsall again they have screwed up too many accums. is this real money or a trial run?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,340 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Had intended to do real money but didn't get around to it so nothing lost yesterday. Only a tenner a week, hopefully it will come up one weekend and give me a nice pay-day

    Man Utd, Watford and Derby all in FA Cup action this weekend so smaller accums with smaller returns. Gonna start putting cash on this week so will start the bank again.

    LEADERS

    Walsall v Lincoln @ 5/6
    Aberdeen v Celtic @ 8/11
    Oldham v Millwall @ 4/6
    Gretna V Ross Co @ 4/11
    Morton v Ayr Utd @ 2/5
    Berwick v Stenhousemuir @ 8/13

    €5 returns €81.38


    LAGGERS

    Cardiff v Leeds @ 8/11
    Scunthorpe v Rotherham @ 1/2
    Torquay v Hartlepool @ 5/6
    Dunfermline v Kilmarnock @ 11/10
    Airdie Utd v Queen of South @ Evs
    Forfar v Alloa @ 6/5
    Montrose v Elgin @ 4/5

    €5 returns €395.01

    Current Balance: -€10

    Quietly confident about the first one coming up if Walsall can get their act together tomorrow night.

    No joy this week. Must point out that as well as not backing Cup games I won't be betting against Man Utd, Sunderland or Celtic as I have an interest in these clubs. Hoping Walsall get knocked off top of League One in midweek so I don't have to back them at weekend.

    This week's bets. Derby playing Sunderland and Celtic, Dunfermline and Queen of the South are all in Cup action so won't be involving those four this weekend.

    LEADERS

    Fulham v Man Utd @ 4/9
    Scunthorpe v Gillingham @ 4/7
    Boston v Hartlepool @ 4/5
    Clyde v Gretna @ 8/13
    Stranraer v Morton @ 8/15
    Arbroath v Berwick @ 11/8

    €5 returns €120.17

    LAGGERS

    Wolves v Leeds @ 8/13
    Northampton v Rotherham @ evens
    Torquay v Darlington @ 6/5
    Raith Rovers v Forfar @ 1/2
    Elgin v Queens Park @ 4/6
    Watford v Everton @ 11/8

    €5 returns €211.01

    I am assuming that Watford don't win tonight and move off the bottom. If they do I will be backing West Ham away to Charlton at 2/1 instead.

    Current Balance: -€20

    I don't wish to be rude but what is the point of putting this up every week? You know as well as anyone here that it is a highly ridiculous system of betting. It's not tips you are giving, although 7 way accumulator tips on British football are utterly worthless even if they do take into account the matchups themselves.

    I know I could just not read it but it's like a sore tooth you can't stop touching :)

    Because now I know it annoys you :D

    Lot of rubbish on this forum lately (as well as some good posts) so don't see the harm in my post

    There's a difference between a tip and a selection. These are his selections, not tips. I don't see the harm in Collie D posting his selections every week. It's his thread, if you don't like it don't read the thread anymore.

    My bottom of the league bet comes up but due to making the schoolboy error of going to the bookies without a wallet I only had €4 on each of these so only got a return of €168.74 but a win's a win as they say :D
