The Boards.ie Accumulator

cson

Righto, there seems to be some interest in creating a thread like this, so I said I'd take the initiative.

Ok, so we'll lay a few ground rules first;

• All Major Leagues & European Competitions
  - Premier League
  - Championship
  - League 1
  - League 2
  - SPL
  - La Liga
  - Serie A
  - Ligue Un
  - Bundesliga
  
  -FA Cup
• Must be minimum 4 fold accum
• Max 6 fold Accumulator
• Everyone starts with €20
• Max 6 selctions per week
• Odds are taken from paddypower.com only
• Weekend football only for now.
• Weekend matches are Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon

So everyone starts at €20, and we'll see who ends up top tipster. Unfortunately the only prizes we have at the minute is the self satisfaction of being the best tipster (And of course all the money you'll have if you follow your tips )

I threw in the few rules just to give it a foundation, but of course they can be changed or new ones added that might help our "comp". I'm iffy about the first rule, but i think its not a bad idea because its the leagues that most will be familiar with. Tempted to include the continent but.....

Any suggestions?

Bubs101

The first rule is ridiculous. Just keep it to any League on a betting slip and the big ones in Europe. Smallest European Leagues alowoed should be the Dutch and Portuguese.

In other words, no Belgian or Turkish bets.

Otherwise, good idea.

Also, NO AFTERPOSTING (and I realise I'm one of the bigger culprits )

i'm sticking to the premiership and a few others in the champions league but that's it, it gets too complicated after that, keep it simple but also i'll be looking for certain winners, also, can we copy bets from each other, e.g. if I pick 6 and see a few from elsewhere that seem certain then I'd like to use them if I could, have a cut off time for final entry or something or is this all too complicated.............a good idea nonetheless.

It might happen but i would definitely bet against it

A nice handy treble

Prices from PP as agreed:

Spurs win : 10/11
Villa win: 11/10
Blackburn win: 5/6

A tenner treble returns €73.50

growler

I think it only fair that the rules preclude betting on spurs to win any game, otherwise we could have a lot of tears on this thread.

Bubs101

Shouldn't one of the rules be it must be an acca?

kenco

Competitor: kenco
Bank: €20
% Win/Loss: 0%
League Place: =oh dear!

Selection;
Villa/Portsmouth - draw
Everton - win
Newcastle - win

Approx €114 for a €5 trixie (with following wind)
