Sanguine I always fcuking forget to lay the bets off. :evil:

Could have comfortably got out at 2-0.


I always put in "auto-lays" of bets like that. Normally at about 1/3 or 1/4 odds. It's lovely checking on how your bet is getting on and seeing a green screen.

Me?

Yes, i'll always try to mitigate losses if it looks like the bet has gone. Its pretty painful "locking in" a loss though.

Got a Heinz bet, Lucky 63, 5 fold and 6 fold accumulator tonight. Bet on Wolves (v Crawley), Colchester (v Carlisle), Dortmund (v Werder Breman), Bilbao (v Osasuna), Rangers (v Airdrie) and Monaco (v Toulouse). Pretty confident about all of those. Betting luck was amazing in 1st week, won £55 quid on 2 games, since then I have done various accumulators and lost them all (many by game which pisses me off, as a result I have a rule now never EVER to bet on Wigan, Arsenal and PSG!!!) Still up by about £20... how is everyone else doing?

Birmingham are a top price 13/2 to beat Leicester. Are Birmingham that bad?

Yes they are. On SkyBet, I have a 6team bet slip... but they give the option of doing a 4 fold and 5 fold acca which I have done. Does that mean if 4 out my 6 teams win then I get a return?

Yes. With 6 teams listed you've bet on 15 fourfolds so if only 4 win you get the odds x 1/15 of your total stake. I think.
