    I want to place a bet that all Champion league games will end in draws (bar the Celtic/barca game which could go either way depending on what Barca team show up) i.e. 7 draws in the form of 4folds and 5folds only..
    Anyone know how many of these there are involving 7 draws..?

    No mate, all bets are around 2/1 so its €80ish return per euro stake per 4fold i make it..
    These games are generally tight affairs with home teams happy not to concede away goals.

    Theres a matrix about halfway down this bright green page which will show you what you want to know.

    Put on your Raybans first by the way.

    Basically take the amount of selections you want (7 matches/draws),
    then the bet type (5 folds).
    There are obviously 5 selections in each 5-fold, but if you want 7 selections in 5-folds, think of it as:
    7 teams can be selection 1,
    then only 6 can be selection 2,
    5 can only be selection 3 and so on....
    basically (7x6x5x4x3 = 2520)
    because it doesn't matter on the order of your selections,
    you then divide by the amount of selections multiplied up (1x2x3x4x5 = 120).

    So 7 selections in 5-folds is 2520/120 = 21 bets
    similarly, 4-folds 840/24 = 35 bets
