    Put a 15 fold on over the weekend and the Arbroath goal in the 87th minute against Celtic cost me.

    Nothing interesting just thought i'd let you all know.


    P.S getting 14 out of a 15 fold accumulator of odds of 120/1 is quite an achievement so this is my 'come and get me plea' to be the new manager of Barnsley with my knowledge of football.

    I think you've blown the Arbroath job.

    On saturday my 9/1 Goals Galore four timer with Betfred I got 7/8. Arsenal failing to score cost me 100 quid. Yesterday I got it up but had to wait for home advantage Mallorca on the Sky match to equalise in the 86th minute despite playing 10 men for an hour. If you're feeling brave you could have a go at this......

    That looks very interesting, might have a go! Though I reckon if I got to around five grand I would lose my nerve and cash it in. Once you get to those sorts of sums it must be pretty difficult to keep going knowing what you stand to lose. But then on the other hand, if you do get to the 50k that's a massive chunk of your mortgage paid off in one go......

    i was a bit fed up as had a fiver on burnley and blackburn to score and afc wimbledon to get a draw Double at about 6-1 but that puts me in the shade. 14/15 is brilliant! wonder what youd have got for the 14 fold

    I suppose you haven't got to see it as £5k (or whatever), but just your original £10.

    Another option is to half it every time you get to a multiple of £50 or £100 - it would take more bets so even less likely but not impossible and you could still make some serious money. Although I have lost on several 1.01 sure things before!

    My first ever bet was a 8-way on the 1994 World Cup. 7/8 came through with just Italy letting me down (conceded a 80oddth minute equalizer). a £1 stake would have brought home over £1k :(

    I also write for a US sports website and got 9/10 on the Premier League a few weeks ago (and 3/10 correct scores) - no money on it though...
