Confidence

[jayalexander]

An issue that has been playing on my mind for a while now is confidence in my bets, particularly lucky 15's. Some people think this is a bet for mugs, but I don't think it's the case. So, with some firms you can get three times the odds for one winner and because it's 15 bets, I can't afford to cover every bet as I would a normal single bet. I realise that the odds of getting more than one winner are higher, so it got me thinking... Would you prefer, for example, your lucky 15 equalling 0.5pts per unit (at 3 times the odds for one winner), which equals 7.5pts or Backing each single with 1.5pts and then covering the remaining eleven bets at 0.5pts each, totalling 11.5pts? This means, as I'm sure you're aware, that with at least one winner, it should return the same percentage of winnings.

Re: Confidence On a normal day if I had 4 horses I fancied equally and I only had £15 to bet with that day I would probably do 2 things : 4 Win singles @ £3.75 Or 6 Win doubles @ £2.50 both costing £15 For me the £1 4fold accumulator is an absolute waste of money ,if I really had to do the lucky 15 I would do them separately on a betting slip and omit the accumulator , money saved is money in your pocket.
