I'm not a man accustomed to splitting hairs as you well know, Ken. However, I notice that your winning treble included two selections running simultaneously i.e. Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Not a problem, I hear you say... but... it's not possible to do a treble at Betfair Exchange prices in that manner simply because the only way to back on the exchange is before the event (ignoring "in running" options) and the only way to construct an accumulator is to take the entire return from each leg and place it on the next leg. There is, however, a "multiples" button for those football "coupons" which provide the option to construct such bets at somewhat reduced odds (presumably Betfair Sportsbook prices) and which are subject to staking limits. ...

I didn't know that Stephen, my sincere apologies fer that unforseen error.
If it suits all then I will reduce my current pot by a Score from €294.35 to €274.35 ?

[Belker]

If all is well, then I will have my €274.35 pot or whatever is decided upon on a Treble tonight.

All bets with Ladbrokes (0% commission).
https://sports.ladbrokes.com/sport/football/matches/today

€274.35 Treble;
Bayer Leverkusen @1/12.
Liverpool @ 3/10.
West Ham @1/9.

The Treble works out at 1.56 (about 4/7) to return €429.30 showing a profit of €154.95 if it Wins.

Apology accepted, Ken. Like I said it's splitting hairs really so I don't think there's any need to amend returns, particularly as they were all short prices anyway. I would suggest that no multiples at exchange prices ought to be allowed going forward just to maintain real world parity. Even where every leg concludes before the start of the next there's no guarantee that the same odds would be available so a blanket ban seems most appropriate.

Rodent you got to love the Irish version of Irish on Telefish na Gailge .They refer to Aiden O Brien should it not be Aiden O Brien as Geilge ?

[Rat Catcher]

I was watching the rawsee on it a while back with an acquaintance from the mainland. Embarrassing is the only fuckal for it. Not only do the presenters speak pigeon Gaelige no doubt following a phonetically written teleprompt with no attempt to translate names of horses, trainers, owners or jockeys... it also transpires that approximately 1 in 5,346 people they interview can speak a few sentences as Gaelige with the rest of the interviews conducted in the King's English. In fact the presenter asked one jockey if he spoke Gaylega (On will ain Gaylega a gut) and he replied (in English) "only what you've written down for me here"... I kid you not!

@ Rodent there was an objection by the Clerk of the Scales to your requesting Betfair Exchange Sp . It was pointed out by the Clerk of the scales that you taking the Exchange SP was a corruption as your mythical coin not actually being wagered on your losers had effected their Exchange SP .Now like your self I never split hairs especially over something as trite as fractional accumulation .But all things being equal The Clerk of the Scales was just saying how I had achieved 100% of my weeks bets winners and a profit without trying to game the Exchange market .

I'd agree with all that, I will take the Score less on my last bet regardless.

All above 3 won to set my Pot at €429.30, with the Dundee United bet to come.

[Belker]

I'm gonna throw me lot (at the time) €600 on Dundee United @ 11/10 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle next Sat at 3pm in the Scottish championship.

To add to this I'll have €40 on Inverness Caledonian Thistle @16/5 with PP.
And €50 on the Draw in the same game @5/2 wit Bet 365.

The objection is noted and merit given to the clerk of the scales fer metioning it, but in my opinion over-ruled on this occasion as the amount of gain achieved would be less that a fraction of 1 cent. Again only my opinion but I think betfair SP's should be allowed with a 2% commission rate, if we ever get around to punting in 10's of thousands then a rewview will be looked at.

I need to up the Ante on this 'Hedge' bet just a tad.
I'll have at today's current prices another €50 on the Dundee United V Inverness Draw @13/5 with Livescore.bet, an offer/price that is freely available. Slightly up on yesterdays bet.
And also have another €40 on Inverness @ 31/10 with BetVictor. Slightly down on yesterdays bet.





My Pot currently Live at €339.30 allows these bets.
