ACCA (again sorry!)

Yeah a bit of a blow. Got to pull out something new again now!!

Lots of ideas on the forum so hopefully drag a few more month out of this betting lark.

@ Marv, I have also been told by people working in the industry and who have left it that sharing of information does go on. Its not official policy however and there will be no paper trail present that could lead to prosecutions. The companies use 3rd parties to do the work for them and so don’t get their hands dirty.

@ Fog, if you run out of bookies take a look at trading the short priced teams that I mentioned on this thread a short time ago. I think there is money to be made there but its not as easy as I was hoping. The problem comes with getting filled when you ask for a price, but I think with a bit of hard work and watching the odds and the graphs for a while there is money to be made doing this.

I’ve heard of people making decent money doing it, but as you can imagine they are very reluctant to give away too much information about what exactly they are doing.

You’ve lost your liabilities on previous bets. You’ve still got the chance of a £25 freebet so should still be laying. How are you calculating your lays? Spreadsheet or oddsmonkey or…

You will be down either way so learn from it (however I don’t as it keeps happening. But definitely up from it as majority are wins) 1. Stop laying hope the rest win and you’re down a £5 or £25 and your liabilities from the first 2 or, or keep laying as a loser with 0 stake and take a £13 and liabilities loss (roughly)

Sportingbet pretty much gone for me then. Tried to do tomorrow’s accas and got limited back to £10 on the first then £1 on the 2nd.

Wonder if it’s fogs fault for flagging the acca approach ;-). More likely because i had an acca stuck with a random 1/50 leg not settled so needed a trader intervention.

Ridiculous 10 days. Stan closed, sky gubbed, Coral restricted to zero and this. Think I’d only lost Ladbrokes since late last year up until this spell.

Yeah too bad isn’t it betman.

Now it’s the shops, or ew arbing or multi accounting.

I’m gonna ew arb through the summer then maybe take to the shops next autumn when the season is back on. If I make it through the summer then at least I have gotten 2 full years out of this scheme with decent profits throughout. Average about €900 per month for the last 20 mths or so.

I have a mental block about multi accounting, not sure why. It’s just some sort of mental laziness about resetting up all the accounts when I ultimately know they will be shut down in no time at all. Even quicker than my original accounts as I’m more ruthless now and straight to the point!! I feel as well that if I wait a little longer that it will be harder for them to link my new accounts to the originals.

@ betman I have not read about the guy you refer to with regards 96 accas in shops can you provide a link or tell me where to look.

In respect to time spent and profits made, no lay accas (unless the 5th leg is on a different day) have been by far the most profitable thing I have done in match betting.

But like you and Foggy I know it will only be a matter of time before I lose the best bookies for these offers, so I am wondering what the shop offers for accas are like. From what little I have read, they didn’t appear to be all that good, unless things have changed.

It’s in the thread “betfair each way edge” it seems. The posters name is Special One. If you punch “96 acca” in the search box it comes up in the first page of results.

I would paste the link in but it seems to blow up the page when I do that.

It sounds like a full time job backing/laying 96 accas. He said 5 hours which sounds realistic enough. Which is okay if your not working mon-fri on a real full time job. But if you are, then it sounds like too much to give up of the weekend.
