Accumulator frenzy

[urnla]

First of all - HI everyone! Being a newbie and all I want to apologise upfront for any forum traditions I might infringe upon. I've been reading this forum for quite a while, but now it's time I post here. Background: Betting on sports never quite exsited me for a number of reasons. The main one being my upbringing, I guess. But before I turn this into an autobiographical epic let me just summarise it in one sentence: I wanted to win the lottery, but didn't like the lack of control over the outcome. This was before I learned I could ACCUMULATE:tongue2 No need to say more, as there are plenty like me out there:cheers Aim: To never exceed a 10pts limit on one accumulator and .... (surprise, surprise) win a lot:$ Reasoning: I can afford to play (which is always a good start):D Plus, I pride myself in knowing a thing or two about european football. Technical: I am a) Ukrainian b) using bet365 and ladbrokes c) credit card only d) support Blackburn Rovers :notworthy e) compare Rovers chances to win the FA cup to those of a snowball in a microwave f) welcome any comments/tips So, I will post my weekly (some times more frequent) accumulators here, so we can track my success/failure story together. Highlighted and underscorred team is a winner in most accumulators. In brackets I give my bets on first scorer (if any) plus any other bets I included in various accumulators. NB if I include a first scorer bet into an accumulator, I will usually only back it up with more/less certain games. If I give you a double chance result (e.g. home/draw) I will bet it as two separate full bets (1 home and 1 draw) and NOT as a double chance. Just for fun, I will provide my score prediction, which will not be included in accumulators and is for fun only.

Week 1 (19-26 Mar 2007)

Man Utd v Middlesbrough (2:0) (Rooney, Ronaldo, MU to win by 2 or more) 1-0
