Basically half stake goes on 1 thing and half goes on another, e.g:

First scorer: Half on first scorer, half on player scoring in first x amount of goals
Outright winner: Half on winner, half on reaching final

usually says each way odds 1/4 or something similar, which means:

£5 each way on some first scorer at 8=£5 on first scorer, £5 on scoring in first amount of goals at odds of 2.


Hmmm I think I get it. So in this case: http://www.coral.co.uk/sbuk.go?page=supergrouppage&sportid=70&supergroup=d1Holland+v+Russia&lang=20&sid=20&ms=

It's each way odds of 1/3 so half on Nistelrooy, for example, for first scorer at 4.50 and half on Nistelrooy scoring in first x amount of goals?

Yea, fraction odds are easier to work with in each way betting I just realised, so my example wouldn't be great.

In your case:
Half on RVN scoring first at 7/2 and half on him scoring at 2.33/2 in first 10 goals

Note: If you put £5 in stake it's £5 on both sections not £2.50

Ahh I get it. Thanks for that :smile:

Re Note: Yeah, just realised. Sly that is! Double the risk.

£7.38 on RVN to score anytime at 2.7

That'll do me for tonight, another account rounding down bet.

Yep both get some decent return from it.

Money from Sneijder top holland scorer just came back in, won £8 from it so odds must have been divided by 3, my only long term euro bet to pull through, unless Klose does a miracle and scores two hat-tricks.

^ But it's almost totally random! Yeah for a quid it's a good bit of fun, but I'd never consider seriously placing that kind of bet!

I'm think today could be the day Toni comes good, so a bet on him to score at any time might be worth it. Hmmm...
Reply 1789
yes its random and fun lol. you only lose a quid so its fine :smile:

its toni time tonight :smile:

question is, will he get the service???
Reply 1790
No Toni bet for me. Don't get the same feeling about the Italians I have got in the past and the same feeling I got with Germany against portugal where you'd never back against them. I feel spain will win, and don't rate Toni so far.

*hopefully I've jinxed it enough for you :biggrin:

Been looking at the safest way to extract my free £25 bet (not going to risk just clicking withdraw as i fear they'll just take it back somehow) and settled on number of subs again (i know, i'm a maniac). Anyway, it seems like 0-3 subs is so unlikely as to be barely worth considering leaving 4-5 and 6 subs as the very likely outcomes.

Betfair odds:
4-5 subs = 2.4
6 subs = 1.89

Am i right in thinking that if i put £10 on 4-5 subs and £12 on 6 subs i would be up if either of those won? e.g..
4-5 subs = win £14 but lose £12 stake on the 6 sub bet.
6 subs = win £10.68 but lose £10 stake on the other bet

Have i gone wrong somewhere?

Go to more options, then tick boxes saying display what if figure and display P+L net of commission. Should make it easy for you.
Reply 1793
Aah that does make it easy :redface: seems like a (small) win either way.
Might do a lower stakes version (least adventurous gambling ever?):p:
Reply 1794
Your calculations are right; you would win so long as more than 3 subs are made. I say you risk the 25 on something else :colone:

On Torres FGS at 11/2. Choo Choo!
Reply 1796
Put a few quid on both Torres and Villa anytime, just for fun.
How about a random punt on Grosso @ 35/1
Reply 1798
£3 on each of Toni, Torres & Villa to score anytime @ 2.875, 2.875 & 3.00

Not so good tonight for us two, I didn't bother with Toni though fortunately, just the other two.

Looks like no Toni goal in the end then.
