Whats the best site to do a big pre-season acca on? Teams to finish top half, teams to get relegated, different leagues etc?

You're best probably adding everything you want on oddschecker then placing it on the site that gives the best odds.

I don't think many, if any at all, allow you to add 2 from the same league. So Liverpool to win the league, Everton to get relegated for example can't be in the same acca. You can request them as specials though.

[paulrazor]

fella i know usually picks teams to win championship, league one and two. He got very close last year

Think it was 2011-2 he had 20 on the three winners and nailed it, 7k

He told us about it early on, every week towards the end of the season we were really rooting for him.

[Barneylfc∗]

I have

Italy to win the Euros
Palace to be relegated
West Brom to be promoted
Celtic to win the SPL
Real to win La Liga
Molde to win the Eliteserien
Salford to be promoted

£5 returns £4760.74

[El Lobo]

I reckon Palace are letting you down there chum

I think Celtic will be the ones. Not having a very good pre season.

[El Lobo]

Did a nice big 15 competition acca for the season, across a few different sports, had Mexico down to win the Gold Cup as my first one

As predicted, Celtic are already fucking up my one 

[Barneylfc∗]

I have another

Rangers
Everton to win 'without the big 6'
Real
Juve
Porto
Malmo
Zenit
Derby relegated
Bayern DFB Pokal
Chelsea League Cup

£5 returns £24141.30

[El Lobo]

I can pinpoint where that one might go wrong Barney

[Barneylfc∗]

I got swept up in the Rafa fanfare 

[Crouch Potato]

For those who want to do multibets involving lots of things eg Liverpool to win league, Man C to finish 2nd, Crystal palace and Newcastle to be relegated. Sky have tons of those type of bets, i always find it interesting to trawl through all the options for any that stand out as value.

[Barneylfc∗]

PP/Betfair

Salah to have 60+ shots on target next season at 9/1.

Only had 52 last season but we were wank for most of it. 59 in 19/20, 64 in 18/19 and 67 in 17/18.

A few of those I like the look of

Arsenal/Leicester/Spurs to finish top half, Brighton/Burnley/Palace/Villa/Newcastle to finish bottom half 6/1
Chelsea top 4, Spurs outside the top 6, Brentford and Norwich relegated 15/2
Chelsea and red mancs top 4, Leeds bottom half, Palace relegated 8/1
Chelsea, both Mancs top 4, Leicester/West Ham top half, Brentford and Palace relegated 20/1

Chelsea, both Mancs top 4, Leicester/West Ham top half, Brentford and Palace relegated 20/1

I think Villa and Brighton have a good opportunity to finish top 10 with Villa probably top 8. Spurs will probably drop into the bottom half unless Kane stays.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

£25 on the Toon to finish top 4.

Easy money   

[El Lobo]

You’d have got better odds than 50/1 on here

[Barneylfc∗]

50/1 is literally the worst odds out there. Most places are 80-100

REALLY?  I had no idea, BetFred was the only betting site I went on and now you have learned me that I'm fucking pissed haha.  Not that I expect any returns, it's just a bit of fun really . . . . unless they do a Leicester but with Fat Mike and Fathead Bruce running the show I very much doubt it.

A'hhhh well that is nice to know but my question is could I actually trust anyone on here to hand over the money?

[Crouch Potato]

You should always check on the Oddschecker website for best odds m8, shows most bookies odds for nearly everything.

Eg. Just checked odds for that and Sky, Paddy Power and Betfair all offer 100/1.

Btw Paddy Power and Betfair are owned by same company, so their odds are nearly always the same.

OK thanks very much for the info, I appreciate it.

I'm not a gambler as such and in all honesty it was a spur of the moment thing, I just jumped in without thinking.

PS
I have just bookmarked the oddschecker website incase I get the urge to chuck some more money down the drain . . . . . o'hh and something else, when I went on there I see if I had opened an account with a different company I could have had £25 or £30 in free bets   

[Crouch Potato]

Yeah, a tip for anyone when opening an account with nearly ANY new bookie, they nearly always have some sort of new customer offer.

[The G in Gerrard]

Has anyone gone full time doing this in general (is that just a myth?)

Gambling full time do you mean?

I haven't, but in the last 13/14 months I've taken more from betting than I have from my job.

I'd imagine becoming a full time gambler would be nigh on impossible given you'd likely be gubbed very quickly. I've lost 4 accounts with Paddy Power since about this time last year.

Yeah mate gambling in general. Was having a conversation about it at work.

I didn't see how the likes of Betfair wouldn't restrict your bets or close account depending on how well you was doing.

Nice one! My best month was a few years back where I did something similar to what you did.

I just didn't understand how some people do this full time (or say they do).

[XabiArt]

Be nice to get this thread going again. I'm as guilty as everyone for not posting but it used to be full of activity a few years ago, sharing tips and celebrating peoples wins!

Was anyone on that thing a few seasons a go where 4/5 of us found a good (researched) single bet each weekend and we all made a small acca out of it, can't remember if that was on here or another forum?

I'd guess you could do it through arbing, but that's not something I get involved in. I can barely understand the Betfair exchange never mind getting involved in that racket.

Not really sure how I've lost all the PP accounts but not my Betfair one to be honest. The profit I have taken from Betfair is around the same as the 4 PP accounts combined, so I do expect to lose it every time I win a bet

Give us the first leg of this weekend's winning acca then mate and we'll get it rolling...

[XabiArt]

What are we looking for, something around the evens mark?

Cant get on gambling sites at work but what about Man United - Leeds BTTS

[Barneylfc∗]

I'd say with group accas the rules should be laid out before hand. Too much bickering otherwise.

For example

Minimum odds of 1/2, maximum odds of 2/1
Someone else's choice isn't up for discussion. It's their choice not yours.
Not everyone uses the same bookie, so no random selections like -1.5 Asian handicap unless everyone is using Bet365

Things like that need to be agreed in advance

Fuck me. No sooner have I said that and they've went and gubbed me today 

[Clayton Bigsby]

Sounds good mate.

[Barneylfc∗]

FFS no way? Do they give you a reason for it?

No. You just fire a stake in a bet you're going to do only to see your max bet about 90% less than what it should be.

Exchange is fine, but i rarely use it.
