Matt's Journal

I have a couple of betting accounts around the web, mainly for adding a bit of interest to an otherwise boring weekend on football. I set aside £10 a week in the interest of predicting the weeks Premiership matches.

What I tend to do is predict the outcomes of all ten matches and then use the combined odds to place a bet of small value with a high pay-off. From those ten games I normally use the Seven-Fold Accumulator which basically means that from a result I get right, the money is reinvested back into the next game for the rest of the matches, I have seven matches I need to get right. In Lehman’s terms, if you get any seven results correct, you win money resulting in the combined odds of those seven games (if you get all ten, you get a greater payout).

The reason I say betting is a mugs game is because you can be so close yet so far. Two weeks running now, I have placed 6 correct outcomes and needed one more to come in to return some winnings…..did they come? No. I tend to lose about £5 on each bet, I have pretty much stopped going out so I see it that I would normally have spent it on beer so £5 on a bet a week isnt that bad.

I think I will have to learn the ways of cover betting, that way I can make some money!

Does anyone have any good resources or tips? I could do with some!
