Free bet if one leg lets you down

Too right Dan. Waiting patiently for someone to share the knowledge. Seems like a great way for many of us on here to keep our various accounts for longer, by appearing to be mugs.

I am also eagerly awaiting an answer to this! 🙂

If you have the time please do explain it gkitching, we might be able to work it out together.

Nobody has explained anything so far so we’re all in the dark here. The selections should be odds on and shorts odds I think someone said?

We could use the weekends UK and top Euro league fixtures to work something out.

I made a spreadsheet at the weekend to work this out, it’s fairly complex and hurt my brain.

The way I’ve worked it out you need to pick your selections so that each previous match is over before the next begins.

Your first match you lay as normal taking the stake for the acca as your stake in the lay calculator. If it loses you’ve made your money back on the lay and stop laying, hope that the rest win. If it wins on to bet 2.

Bet 2 is your original stake multiplied by the odds of your first selection. So if your first match was at odds of 1.5 and your stake £10 your new stake is £15.
Lay this bet with 15 as your stake if it loses stop laying and hope the rest win. If it wins multiply 15 by the odds of that match and so on and so forth.

You can under or overlay to your preference. I’m sure I’ve lost a few with this simple exploration but it’s hard to get across in just text.

This is how I understand it anyway I may be wrong.

For the more adventurous among us I have dabbled with acca bonuses too. I. E. Boylesports have a 200% acca bonus on 15 selections. I managed 1 successful experiment before being faced with the bet restricted screen.

I’m fairly certain they pegged me as a matched bettor by my 15 team acca with each leg beginning after the last. Needless to say my valance has been withdrawn! So watch out if you’re planning on doing this as a regular thing!

@Andy, if you’re doing one of these yourself this weekend could you post it up here for us mate?

I get the keep the odds low and close, choose games that start at different times to keep it rolling along but I can’t figure out your staking system so that you ensure a profit without having to actually hit the bonus…?

I’ll happily make a detailed thread/ post on this explaining the basic principles. However as Andy said it may be difficult to explain and with a christmas party tonight and tomorrow night i may not get chance until next week.

Yes, this probably requires some IQ to work out! My guess is that Mark overlays a little every bet knowing that he will get the money back if the acca goes all the way. You anticipate the refund and make a calculation that allows you to profit if more than one leg on the acca lets you down (since you overlay) OR if the acca goes all the way and you can treat the last game as a freebet (although you will not profit as much since you have overlayed the other games). This is how I would do it anyway but I haven’t gotten far enough to come up with a way of calculating the stakes.

I look forward to hearing what Mark and Stims has to say about this. I think this is all very interesting and challenging! 🙂
