    Hi Guys,

    Been playing Poker for nearly 5 years and feel I want to delve more into Soccer and NFL betting.

    I am a complete NOOB when it comes to gambling and I just wanted to ask a few questions.

    1. Can someone explain to me handicap betting please. For example.. You see comments like. "I have backed the new orleans saints at -6.5" and I have backed Stoke -1 etc.
    2. How do I place football accumulators online on my Paddy Power a/c?


    Thank you.

    Will be starting a log tomorrow on here. Hope to become part of the community.

    Handicap betting for example Stoke -1 means you are backing Stoke to win minus 1 goal. To win this bet Stoke must win by more than 1 goal e.g. 2-0 or 3-1. Basically deduct one goal from Stokes total and if they still win, your bets a winner.

    In order to place football accumulators on PP, go into football betting section, click on your 1st selection, this will add to your betslip, click your 2nd selection and this will also add to your betslip..... so on.... so on........
    When you have all your selections added to your betslip you will see the choices of bets you can make at the bottom of your betslip.
    Enter your stake in the box marked accumulator and place your bet.

    No such thing as silly questions. If you don't ask, you may never know.
