Tredder - as a one off as i already done it my £10 is a double i.e.

Arsenal and Everton pays £24.53 i think.

Victor Meldrew AC Milan around 11/8
Yeovil 4/5
Arsenal 4/6
Unless Milan put out a reserve team I can't see them doing anything but win-as the other poster said,matches where teams "only" have to draw or need to win statistically have no bearing on results.


Should have remembered my brother's hard and fast rule-never back a team at odds-on away from home. :cry:

That's ok, i can live with MK Dons, they are unavoidable at that price, i've also gone in with Everton and Gillingham, in a treble, but the £10 is on Blackburn.

Yorkshire Royal To say Pinnacle will NEVER close your account is a little over the top.

But I have been consulting with people in the know, and the general feeling is that Pinnacle are a good firm to use, although getting the account setup in the first place can be tricky, apparently. They dont overly restict sucessful punters and that includes arb players.

I doubt many people on here would care about limits, restrictions and arbs, but if they are betting to 102% on football then fair enough. Hills, Ladbrokes and Corals cannot do that due to their overheads...


For the first time ever i've had a Pinnacle account effectively closed. They have reduced my wager to £1.43. What is the world coming to..

Being a novice gambler and on a current losing streak I am wondering whether instead of doing my usual 3 or 4 match accumulator is it worth doing say 7 matches, all fairly low odds but then doing a 4 fold, 5 fold & 6 fold instead or will I just get a rubbish return unless they all win?

5 6 and an acc Sogs, 4 winners won't see you in profit if you're doing short priced selections.
