    Every year we love our football bets and our hairbrain schemes

    A 1/2 1/3 double is even money. Do this 10 times and you have €5000 from a €5

    Starting with

    Southampton 1/2
    Everton 1/2
    Lyon 1/3
    Spratak Moscow 1/3

    Sounds easy doesn't it

    sounds easy in theory but when one team lets you down (which is inevitable) you are left with zero.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Ah yet another one! These bets gets to day 3 at most before "bang!" Good luck though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,006 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    failed at the first hurdle

    Everton and Southampton only drew..

    not so easy afterall op ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭stevood


    Very bad start, might get easier as the season goes on and the home/away form starts to show.

    Will try again 2 moro.

    You can use this method to build up a bit of cash if you really do your homework on the selections. I do it at times. Usually around 20 or 30 euro stakes. Sometimes more. But it would not be wise to keep on betting your winnings on it. One team will mess it up and you'll end up with nothing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭Healio


    key here is to look to 2way outcomes, eg draw no bet, asian handicaps, over/unders maybe even double chance if the price is right.

    Also try and stick to doubles at most.

    Im gonna try this, with one or two alterations.
    Im gonna pick 3 teams at odds of 1/1, 4/5, 4/6.
    Im gonna place two seperate bets of £25 on this treble
    on week one.
    If it loses, repeat on week two.
    If it wins, pocket one of the trebles (£150), and let the
    other £150 ride on the following week. If you string three
    winning weeks together, you have your prize of £5400.
    If you win only one week, you cover your stake for the
    three weeks. Just keep trying till you hit. :)

    Villa to beat newcastle, united to beat fulham, and liverpool to beat trabonzpor or whatever.

    25 pays 187.50.

    If that takes your fancy.

    Good idea, carew missed pen and then villa just got raped.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭Silence.


    It all sounds so easy, doesn't it? Too easy.

    I'll try it though, but I won't be risking everything on each bet. I will bank a fraction of my winnings after each win.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,754 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    I'll try it too for the craic, it's achievable IMO.

    I'll give it a go. For no particular reason, PP gave me €5 freebet yesterday.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,754 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    Feckers never give me any free bets. :pac:

    I'll be starting it at the weekend, can't pick my nose at the moment though.

    It was only for games, but I doubled up a couple of times on blackjack so I have it in my sportsbook now. I'm not really sure how it worked.

    Never got a free bet either the ****.. I'm up for giving this a go as well but with a slight altercation. Never liked doing short trebles and the like so going to pick one bet at around 1/1 and have the 10 bets with that.Good luck to everyone, will be interesting to see if anyone gets it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,305 ✭✭✭DOC09UNAM


    Right gonna do this myself.

    Rd 1 - Liverpool and Ajax, 5er pays 16.49


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭fkiely


    If you're going to do 10 bets why not add another 8 on and go for the €1.3 million jackpot.....

    Nice, 2-0 up!

    I put my first on Malmo last night and Sevilla tonight btw. Sevilla 0-0, Malmo won.

    Edit: There goes my first attempt at the first hurdle!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 113 ✭✭pejesus


    im going to give this a shot too . going to go with the 2 trebs for the first week and let one keep rolling over till i have enough to buy liverpool .. 200 quid :D:D


    just had a quick look motherwell vs celtic away 8/15 sunderland vs man city away 5/6 blackburn vs arsenal away 4/7 the treble pays a little less than 7/2 3.42

    i think everton are a big price 19/10 away to villa . what do you think

    thats an awful price on city imo
    sunder only lost at home last season to chels utd and villa so id
    be wanting odds against at least.
    I wouldnt say arsenal are nailed on either at the price.
    i am doing crap so far this season though
    my treble last weekend of burnl/cardiff and southampton said it all

    i love the look of chelsea -2 v stoke at around 5/6
    even spurs -2 v wigan at 6/4...a repeat of last year probably
    unlikely though

    Good start.

    FYI if you're not getting free bets off PP its because you're a frequent gambler and/or you're not losing :cool:

    Gonna give this a whirl this weekend:
    Germany 4/7 (vs Belgium)
    England 3/10 (vs Bulgaria)

    €5 double returns €10.26


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 210 ✭✭stevood


    Random double bets of evens isn't the point here. Knocking down 10 short price doubles in a row is.

    Is really hard but sticking to homes and form is what i'm going to do. Avoid handicap betting and dont bet if i'm not sure (no guessing). (that said spurs last week were an absolute banker gone wrong)
