Football Accumulator/Betting Thread

[prophet]

I'm partial to a bet or two during the football season. So I figured I'll post each accumulator/bet I put on to either serve as a tip for anyone interested or so you can all have a laugh at how bad my luck is. Anyone else enjoy a flutter? Share your bets!

I haven't bet on football for a few years. I might start doing accumulators again. But what's all this folds business about? I don't get it. I swear they never used to be on the betting forms. I just picked my teams and then placed my bet.

Can someone explain folds to me please? And explain it like you're explaining it to an idiot.

Pay no attention to the word 'fold', it's just the word used to describe how many teams you've put on the accumulator. If you put 5 teams on you have yourself a 5-fold - if you've put 8 teams on that'd be an 8-fold. It's nothing.

I figured as much. Thanks!

After failing in midweek in what can only be considered a step-back I've gone for a new strategy this weekend; same stake, lower odds. I've put on what I believe to be a banker, could this be it lads? Will the excitement ever stop?!

So I have started to get into betting again and done my first accumulator in a few years. I done an 8-fold
