Is this tactic allowed?

[Sco]

Basically Iv been looking at some bets on ladbrokes and am quite tempted, but am not sure if I am allowed to do it or not? Basically the odds for any team to win, or draw are all over 2. EG Tottenham v everton. Home draw away 2.20 3.20 2.80 Now say for example I think that everton will not win. I can put £1 on a tottenham win, and £1 on a draw. Now obviously a draw is best, but a win would still get me a gain of 20p, and a draw...1.20 gain. Now first of all is this allowed by bookies? And secondly does anyone else use this method for games they think someone will not win? Thanks and sorry for the newbie question! Sco

Re: Is this tactic allowed? Yes you can.you could put varying level of stakes to give better returns on home win at the expense of less for the draw. If you use a betting exchange you can simply lay the away team for equal return on both home and draw.
