VillaKnollBoy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Look to start doing Lucky 15's in shop. Not done it before, I take it there's a specific slip for this (William Hill)? Or do you just write down the horses (at least 4 or 5, can't mind which) and state "Lucky 15"? There should be a slip available in store. A Lucky 15 consists of four selections. Singles-4 Doubles-6 Trebles-4 Accumulator/Fourfold-1 Five selections make for a Lucky 31. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I would avoid spurs, I can just see palace getting a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanquinho. Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Probably been asked before but I don't have time to trawl through 29 pages this morning What is the difference between these bets?: Handicap: Roma +1 @ 1/150 Double Chance: Roma Or Draw @ 1/40 On the face of it they seem like exactly the same bet but with a huge difference in odds. I've seen many more games (the vast majority actually) with differing odds in similar markets, but with a much smaller difference (ie 2/7 on the handicap and 1/3 on the double chance), with the double chance usually having the better odds. I feel that I'm missing something obvious Edited January 12, 2014 by Vanquinho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faddythedaddy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 In all probability the 1/150 is a palpable error and they won't pay out on it. Are they both from same bookie? I remember seeing hertha Berlin 3 1 up on an Irish mob in the uefa cup (good few years back) and say they were 2/7 to win the game. Whacked a few hundred on it but my winnings were absolute buttons, lucky if it was a couple of quid. That was their excuse, palpable error, and I believe it is in their t and c's that it is within their right to do this. With online that is the case, not totally sure in shop though -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that I'm missing something obvious It's not a palpable error. Either; a) the 1/150 is an asian handicap (i.e. only two prices are quoted, not a draw price), and as well as covering Roma and the draw, you also get your money back if Roma lose by 1 goal. b) they actually are the same market. The difference between 1/40 and 1/150 is not that much. If you put £10 on at 1/40 you get £10.25 back. If you put it on at 1/150 you get £10.07 back. In reality, neither of them are backable markets. The numbers are irrelevant at those odds, who is seriously going to back something at 1/40 or 1/150. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that I'm missing something obvious Bookmakers bet to different margins depending on the market. Traditionally the Asian handicap always has a smaller margin than the traditional handicap so a team at -1 on the handicap might bet 4/5, but 5/6 on the Asian handicap at -1.5. These are the same bet. This is likely to be what is happening here. If you look at the other side of the bet the handicap is likely to be around 12/1 and the double chance 10/1 which is not a big difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faddythedaddy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 When I look at it again, that makes sense actually. Great value in that 1/150 shot eh. Roma were a notoriously horrible team to bet back in the day, always seemed to under perform 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latino Lover Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Bet 365 is pretty rapid for me these days. Shouldn't take that long, I'm with Lloyds in the uk if that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Can someone explain Asian handicaps for me?As I understand it, they operate like a normal handicap but if it's a "draw" you get your money back. What I don't understand is when it's quoting more than one number in the same bet. For example, Barcelona tonight were available at (-1.5, -2), (-2) and (-2 -2.5). The middle one makes sense for me but I'm struggling to get a grip on the other two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) If you bet (-1.5, -2) you are betting half your stake on each. So If the mentioned game finished 2-0. Your first bet would win, and the second bet would be refunded due to the draw occurring. Generally a two outcome handicap will have smaller odds than one with one outcome in asian style handicaps.

YHallSaint Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wondering if someone can help me Paddy power have closed my account. I have had a few good wins recently and have won quite a bit on their virtual racing game. I have heard similar stories in the past about people having their accounts closed after winning a decent amount. Their reason in closing my account is that they noticed irregularities in the game I was playing. I'm not overly fussed as this is just a side account to me but what has annoyed me is although they have giving me the cash that was in my account I had a couple ante post bets for Cheltenham which they haven't refunded. I've e mailed them but have not received anything back. Surely I should get the money back or they have to honour the bet. Anyone had similar experience? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Customer Services team will void your bets and refund you. Do you have twitter? They are normally pretty decent if you tweet them. I wasn't closed down by Paddy Power but my maximum bet was severely reduced. I mainly bet Ross County games the season we won the first betting large on handicap stakes. Each win was followed by a smaller maximum. I eventually got an email stating something similar but my maximum bet would be £5. The moral of the story is that no company wants winning bettors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Dougal McGuire Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Paddy Power restricted by betting as well. They gave me a £20 free bet for downloading the messenger app but I couldn't place a bet because the max stake was always around £10.
