Very nice, well done! Quite an easy one really, but often there's always one that stuffs things up, but luckily for you that wasn't the case. :thumbsu:

Thanks N1k0s287, I tailed you that one.

It's funny you say that abs, I put Chelsea in for a little bit more value, just about screwed me over :eek:

@ $7ish....

F****** Mcllroy all time choke this morning. :mad::thumbsdown:
 
news to me: I've been punting for a while but was surprised to learn this week that in the event of a draw your multibet is halved, irrespective of the odds of that leg.

I was under the impression that the leg was dropped out of the bet and recalculated.

I believe I am correct in saying because I was on the favorite I end up worse off then if I was on the underdog - so in effect they get a bit of a win, even though they didn't win... if that makes sense

To add salt to the wounds I also appear to have ended up worse off than if I didn't have that game in my bet at all!

ie. odds without drawn leg = $3.50

$3.50 x $3.00 (outside) = $10.50 (halved = $5.25)
$3.50 x $1.30 (favorite) = $4.55 (halved = $2.27, $1.23 worse off than if I didn't bet on the drawn game!!)

Am I correct in what I am saying?
 
Well, the odds on the drawn game are halved because of dead heat rules, which in effect halves your multi odds.

3 leg multi: $1.50 x $1.50 x $1.50 = $3.38
3 leg multi with 3rd leg drawn = $1.50 x $1.50 x $0.75 = $1.69

Anyone with a better knowledge of golf think i should let this ride, or try to hedge a few threats?
 
No point trying to pick who might catch him, only thing I might consider would be to lay him to get your stake back @ 1.80ish

And 1.50 x 1.50 = 2.25 ... so your odds of the first two legs are reduced, even though they are not related to the third.

Just found that very weird!

Had a few:

Dogs 60+
Geelong 15.5+
Melbourne H2H
Collingwood H2H (conservative there)
Essendon -4.0 ($2.10 on that)
Chelsea Win
Man Utd Draw NB
Arsenal Draw NB

$8.41

Other 2 bets are the same outcomes, both minus Essendon and Melbourne, with slightly different modifiers. Looking around $3.80 and $3.90. Soccer ones look great for mine.

Someone please reassure me Arsenal are gonna win lol.

At $7 I'm considering hedging as they're also on 2 other multis I've taken that are also down to this one game left. After Bendtner came out and said they're wanting 8/8 and the previous 6-0 I can't see us losing this game.

Bring it home boys!:thumbsu:

It's Arsenal...we're likely to **** it up. They beat Tottenham and Liverpool at home, had a 2 goal lead over Man U before blowing it and nearly got a draw with City. So you never know, they could sneak a win as we aren't exactly going great either...

But we should win!:D:thumbsu:
 
Blackpool @ 8.41 on Betfair, lower elsewhere, but pretty easy hedge if you wanted to.

Arsenal should win this, but that's a great price to hedge off considering you have the draw no bet already.
 
To remotely cover I'd need to drop $150+ on BP to win. I'm so torn on this, I don't know whether it's being greedy to go for the extra cash and not hedge, or whether it would be stupid to drop that sort of cash on what should be a lock. I've got around 40 minutes til kickoff to pace back and forth on it, cheers for the info guys :)

You've got $1,000 odd riding on multis? :eek:

In the scheme of things, on even the multi you've got listed, is $150 that much?

Yeah, I've got around 1.5 riding on it and I've only been having a bet since last week lol.

I guess it is the smart thing to do, in essence it's removing it from the bet entirely.

I've got a $50 freebet on Sportsbet, but it's only paying $7. Might have that on to cover myself and end up square if all goes wrong. And on the upside, if Arsenal don't lose, I'll get the 50 back anyway :eek:

It sounds like you win quite a bit if Arsenal get the job done? Surely $150 isn't much then?

I'd play it safe and hedge. Relegation battlers can often cause big surprises as they've got so much to play for. And with Almunia and Squillaci at the back, anything can happen...

But that's just me! Good luck with whatever you do, hopefully the Gunners get up as they should!

Yeah, we're talking a small percentage of your winnings here.

If someone said to you give me $150, and I'll guarantee you $5k + back, what would you do?

Best of luck.
