This is the interesting thing about the predict 6, are you more likely to get better odds doing an acca with the bookies most of the time - if it's often split between a lot of people?

This is the problem, seems like it is getting very popular, so there are going to be more and more winners. They will have to increase the jackpot accordingly.

Good question mate.

If you took say average odds of 3/1 AGS which in some cases would be generous for the likes of Vardy/Costa etc and put them in a £1 6-fold accumulator
you'd stand to win over £4000.

So I suppose like the lottery, your winning ticket could win you the jackpot but then you could end up sharing the pot with a few others and come out with a fraction of the total pot.

I checked mine as I was explaining it to a mate. My six AGS would have returned £112 with Skybet. The likes of Costa, Vardy etc were 5/6 or 10/11

Yeah I was basing the above on a 3/1 the field which is very generous but if you go with the big guns obviously it's gonna be odds on shots in some cases.

Yeah,  you can also select the same player more than once if you think they will score more than one.

Next PL fixtures:

Aston Villa   v Watford    (Deeney/Ighalo v one of the worst defences in the league)
Bournemouth v Everton   (In form Lukaku against a side leaking goals)
Crystal Palace v Newcastle    (Cabaye maybe, otherwise no bet)
Man City v Southampton    (Has to be Aguero)
Sunderland v Stoke   (Fletcher/Defoe and Stoke is a lottery, Bojan maybe)
Leicester v Man Utd   (Vardy ftw and Depay again if he's gonna be up top)
Spurs v Chelsea    (in form Kane and Costa I suppose)
West Ham   v West Brom  (no bet)
Liverpool v Swansea  (Benteke/Firmino)
Norwich v Arsenal  (Giroud again)

Yeah same here.

I'd imagine if he'd scored we'd have got about £50 each.

Apparently there's another 20 or so on 5/6 going into tonights game.

I don't know if I would have been happy that I won and would be £50 richer or if I'd be pissed off winning knowing that I've won £50 yet it could easily be 10k.

I know which I would have been. I'd be well pissed off.

Too many people are playing it now thanks to my mate's win a few weeks ago being big news. Will always get a shit load of winners just due to the sheer numbers of people playing, he's ruined it for everyone basically. :D

There are 41 winners already and potentially 21 more so best case scenario £244, worst case £161.  It's not 10 grand but as someone else said above, not bad for a £1 and better odds than you'd get on an accumulator.

Hoping for a 0-0!

EDIT: There are 21 on either 4/6 or 5/6.  Apparently there are 2 players (presumably bought their tickets late) on 0/6 with all 6 choices from tonights game  :o

So many of the top recognised strikers (Aguero, Kane, Giroud, Costa, Vardy) scoring on the same weekend is bound to have a lot of winners. I think to win a four (or five) figure sum you're gonna have to be a bit creative with your selections and hope that those strikers don't also score.

It's interesting to follow their twitter where they sometimes mention the percentage of people who have certain players picked.

Still, you can't go far wrong putting a quid on those 6 every week. You would spend £38 over a season but if you won just twice you'd be looking at a decent profit.
He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes. But he was genuine. He had the best interests of the club at heart, and gave us a plethora of successful teams that we should have been thankful for.

Just looking at their T'S & C's

6.3 Of each £1 you stake 10% will go towards the prize jackpot.

Only 10p goes towards the prize.

They're making a decent profit on this, good on them mind you, great idea.

This technically isn't how they do it.

100% of the bets go towards the jackpot until the jackpot in reached. So if it's £10k then the first 10,000 bets go towards this.

After this, only 10% of each bet, so 10p, goes towards the jackpot and the rest goes to those running the site - which is based in Liverpool for what it's worth.
