Had a hundred on a top half finish at 13/8 and 20 each way at 18/1 on the handicap index (+23 pts), both Skybet.
Bought the season points at 62 for £40 per point with Sporting Index.
Can’t help myself
Edit - just completed the spread bet and it has gone down to 61.5 points. We aren’t really fancied at all this season
I’ve got a mate like that. If you put £10 on x combined with 5 point spread on y accumulated with a multi pay tricast on z we can’t lose. Coupla grand at least.
Three weeks later “ how’s the bets going”
“ oh that. Naaaaah waste of money that”
Haven’t a clue what I’m betting on. Greyhounds, football or flies on a wall.
I only generally bet on singles. Doubles upwards are multiplying the odds of losing.
The first two bets are just singles, one bein each way.
The one Chunkster is referring to is a points spread bet and is variable. I bet £40 a point at 62 points.
Scenario 1. Walsall end up with 68 points - I win 6 x 40 = £240 (68-62)
Scenario 2. Walsall finish with 57 points - I lose 5 x 40 = £200 (62-57)
And so on……
What could be simpler
The season that @chunkster begged me to let him in on the bet was the Taylor / Flynn season, which of course didn’t end well, especially at £60 per point, however, at least his carbon footprint was reduced that year
How’s that work? Do you have to pay the £40 a point upfront cus that’s a lot of upfront cost and recoup as the season goes on for every point we make or is it like a debit card profit/loss taken end of season ?
If you haven’t got a credit account then you deposit an amount to cover so much of the liability.
The spread is updated after each weeks results allowing you to cash out or add money should you need to.
Hmm. According to that we’re playing Colchester at home on Sunday 3rd September rather than the day before as our fixture list says. Do they know something we don’t?
