My saturday near misses

[zookeeperz]

As the football season is in full swing every saturday I pick between 5 and 8 teams and put them in an accumulator hoping to strike a nice little earner. Sadly Close isn't close enough. 2 of my most recent bets that hit the cross bar only to lay dormant on the goal line

I made a profit last week of £7 on a yankee. I went for a 5 way today and lost £1.50.

Good fun and watch final score at 4:30 ooowing and arrrring.

I do a similar thing, and surprise surprise get more or less the same result.  However, I'm still in profit for the last two seasons because with large accumulated odds you only need to win occasionally.

You only have to win the lottery occasionally 

Bookies love them small stake large return even a bonus for all correct thats why high street shops are full of tickets and signs on the wall.

Even more so with a reult/results that finish later than the others.The software they have in place allows them to lay any potential big loss off by using betfair/another bookmaker.They then are the people telling the press we have just paid Mrs Jones £""""""""" for a 50p stake for the free advertising.

The smaller independents all have a sign on the wall with a maximum payout to cover themselves although they dont put it in big writing on the door 

Its a fun bet that thousands do and one to enjoy.

Anyone reading this though stick to buying a coin
