Betting Question

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Question for US, or any betting Shrimper:

There are three Premier$hite matches on Sunday: Man Utd vs Arsenal, Chelsea vs West Ham and Liverpool vs Bolton - if I think that all three games are going to finish nil-nil, how could I put a accumulator bet on? Is it seven seperate bets?

Ta all.

Lurking with intent....

If you think all will be 0-0 place a treble (i.e. one bet) on all three games to have 'no goalscorer'. Reason I say 'no goalscorer' rather than correct score 0-0 is that if a game ends 1-0 with an own goal being scored, you'll still be on a winner as own goals don't count in the 'first player to score' markets.

Alternatively, you could do a patent. That's seven bets - three singles, three doubles and a treble - and you'll pick up even if only one of them ends 0-0. Disadvantage here is that you have to place seven bets rather than just one, so the cost is likely to be higher.

Combined odds will be something in the region of 350/1 I should think.

Nice one - many thanks.
