I assume leefer means an x-fold as well, although like you say walrus, even getting your stake back normally means hitting at least 4/5 or 5/6 so might as well just go with an accumulator anyway.
Fold bets/lucky 15/31's etc are only worth bothering with if you have 4 or more selections at a good price, say 4 or 5/1 and upwards or you'll never see a return.

Apparently you can get 4/1 for the draw tonight with the England game. Anyone think that is a decent bet?
Don't think I do. I'll do an accumulator.

To be honest I don't like betting on internationals, the odds are too long and it's tricky to spot an upset. I've just whacked a whopping £3 on England, to win about 70p....

But what can you buy with £3? Quite a bit... a meal, a magasine, cigarettes, alcohol... What can you buy with 70p? Fuck all really.
On the other hand it is very likely to happen then you could put that 70p into another accumulator on Saturday...

Exactly my thoughts!! Tonight Skybet are doing 100/30 enhanced treble on Spain England and Portugal, if that floats your boat although I am a bit of a cynic and bit wary of these... |

100/30? Surely that's just 3/1. Why write it as 100/30?
Do you mean you have to stake £30 to get those odds?

Uh 3/1 would be 90/30 wouldn't it? |

Ok... I presume it's 10/3... It's just how Skybet represented the odds and I felt inclined to copy!  |

Gonna put a tenner on this
ARSENAL vs burnley
wolves vs MAN U
CHARLTON vs stockport
SWINDON vs rovers
£10 returns £44
BUT (and this is where I need some advice) if I add in SPURS to win at fulham then the return is £86
What do people think is the certainty of spurs winning??

oh yeah I mean 10/3 100/30 - old rhyming slang, get out in the paddock and you'll hear bookies offering you "a burlington" about a horse (Burlington Bertie... thirty) |

Well, the bookies seem to think almost 2-1, so they're not great favourites |

Spurs have been dodgy away and it's a derby so I would stay clear... What about West Brom away at someone, or Leicester away at Wendies?
