Unders for all Rangers matches, either leg.

i'm a bit stuck here,

if i bet on four teams can someone explain to me the doubles and trebles option?
cheers

4 teams gets you

4 trebles
6 doubles
1 4-fold accumulater

11 bets

yeah but how do i win on them?

[Skin]

choose 4 teams to win their matches.

go to bookies.

write your 4 teams onto slip.

underneath write £1 yankee.

in total bet box write £11.

go to counter hand slip in and pay £11.

go home and hope at least 2 of your teams win.

[RG30]

£1 Lucky 15

Wigan v Reading @ 11/5
Barnsley v Charlton @ 12/5
Colchester v Stoke @ 4/1
Gillingham v Swindon @ 3/1

Also, as discussed on General Sport, London Irish look good value at 7/4 to beat Toulouse in the Heinekken Cup Semi Final

[Skin]

Coral have just gone 3-1 on Reading winning, good value if you fancy us.
Equally good value are Man City at 4/5 with Coral.

Chelsea v Man U - I'll have a small interest at 1-1.

Of the others Morcambe at 11/10 (Bet Fred) and Northampton 6/4 (Hills and Lads) look good

so if only two teams win, will it return over the £11 i invested in the first place?

That would depend on the odds.

BlueSq have Spurs at 2/1 to win on Saturday. That is outstanding value.

[Victor Meldrew]

I agree but you can't do it can you?

[Skin]

Us v Spurs: Its got to be over 2.5 goals on sat. 4/5 generally.

Also West Ham are bloody massive at 16/1 away at Man Utd. Certainly value even if unlikely.

[PlasticRoyale]

BlueSq have Spurs at 2/1 to win on Saturday. That is outstanding value.

Why is it outstanding value? Guenuinely intersted in your reasons for this (i'm not being sarky)

Imho, the value is in our astonishingly poor form.

[RG30]

Charlton to beat Coventry @ 8/5
Norwich to beat Sheffield Wednesday @ 4/1
West Brom to beat QPR @ EVS

£5 singles, doubles & treble

[soggy biscuit]

£5 returns £61
West Brom
Stoke
Real Madrid
Seville

It's also time to look forward to Euro 2008 and can I just say it here first, Portugal at 8's to win looks a good price.They got a group of Czech Republic, Switzerland and Turkey which they should win comfortably. They'll get Croatia or Poland in the QF's who I would see them seeing off (though Poland gave them a run for their money in the Group stages) and it's anyones game in the Semi Fianls. They've had a good recent history with the Semi's at the World Cup in Germany, and losers in 2004.

I saw that, couldn't bring myself to lump anything on it though. Amazingly we're still not favourites to go down with some bookies, and haven't been all season, do they know something we don't?

As for Euro 2008, Romania may be a good outside bet - got 4 points off Holland in qualifying, in a very tough group at the finals but who knows?

[bobbybottler]

Unders for all Rangers matches, in all competitions, for the rest of the season

Won't win every single time, but it'll be close.

[Victor Meldrew]

Pompey at 5/2 represents great value.
They may not win but that sort of price at home to a team like Fulham is about the price somebody like Walsall or Brighton would be.
FA Cup distraction or not it is a tremendous price for the team that could save us from relegation.
I also think that Blackburn 4/6 with a goal start at Birmingham is great value.
If these two bets come up and we do no worse than a draw at Derby we are saved.
