    Accumulators on football results are the romantic bet and great when they come in but someone always leaves you down and not a good way to make profit...

    I have been doing an accumulator of a different style recently namely both teams to score. Odds generally range between 1/2 to evens on individual games. I have had decent success with these in the last few weeks so want to share the bets and take others advice/suggestions.

    Basically I will post my 3 or 4 game accums where I think both teams will score or conversely I may back a game of either team not to score which is good for a game you reckon will be tight and takes out the danger of a 0-0 as this is covered too. these bets again can generally be 8/11 or so. No bank, bet when I want and stakes generally €10 or €20. Mostly will stick with Prem, Championship and League 1 games. Also will consider champs league and europa league, some cup games and international games. One of the reason I am doing the log is I got a little loose and backed a few FA cup 1st round games a few weeks ago that didn't work on and were stupid to back!

    Thanks, I think the wigan and leeds ones are especially cracking bets. the idea is by keeping the number of selections low but choosing from a few leagues and only when I am confident I am not taking risks, then I increase the potential success. it also leaves the door open to trade at times but normally let them ride. If this keeps being successful I will start to up the stakes but happy if 7/1s keep coming in every 2nd or 3rd as has been the case so far.

    Any suggestions will be taken on board also so feel free to give it if you are particularly keen and knowledgeable on a certain game.

    not the best start, 40 down but early days yet... I had a winner in the two bets on weds, just put the wrong ones together!
    Bet 5
    Blackburn v Aston Villa (both teams to score) 5/6 always high scoring
    Hull v Ipswich (both teams to score) 5/6 should be an open game and ipswich will want to make up for last weeks hammering
    Celtic v Dundee Utd (either team not to score) 4/6 celtic to make up for the last loss and win to nil
    Liverpool v West Ham (either team not to score) 8/11 West ham are rubbish and I cant see them getting anything here.

    Stake 10
    To Win 86.76

    Keep at it. Interesting log. Can't believe Brazil/Argentina let you down and Ireland/Norway and Poland/Ivory Coast did the business. Typical.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭glanman


    as I said at the start I started logging as it was going well for me so my plan is to keep going. Maybe if I get to 10 losses in a row I'll call it. 1 bet per session might be better as well, more focus. Had a few other games tempting me like newcastle/bolton and sunderland/everton but 4 is plenty!
