Bring back the trebles?

[Begbie]

Do the vBookie mugs clients want the trebles (with bonuses) brought back?

If so, what criteria should be used in deciding which teams to include in the bet? eg. 'Big teams' or 50-50 matches? Do you want to pick your treble and be given vBookie odds on it?

Bring back the trebles!!

50-50 matches would be good - most evenly balanced .. i'd feel sorry for vBookie if we all swamp him (or her :p ) with different treble rotations.

Suggest this weekend's treble then. TBH, it takes ages to work out the pay-out from 27 different trebles so I can only add one 'treble bet' to vBookie per week.

lol

hmm .. the three i'd suggest would be:

Fulham vs Wigan
Aston Villa vs Birmingham
Newcastle vs Sunderland (or Dundee Utd vs Hibernian)

might be fun actually to do trebles mixing the EPL fixtures with SPL fixtures - just an idea anyway :)

OR

one epl match, one spl match and one from the guest league each week from the predictions league (though not everyone plays the predictions league)

Could make it a vote type thing. People suggest teams they want to bet on as trebles, majority wins.

Or you could just pick whatever teams you fancy seeing as you're the one putting in the effort :lol:

FSi bet calculating program.

Use it to work out potential or actual winnings.

Potential winnings:

Enter the SP prices of all the participants that you are betting on in boxes 1 to 16.

Click the boxes in Include in bet to choose what combinations you want to include in the bet. eg: doubles and trebles. If you want all possible combinations, click 'Check All'.

In Amount bet enter how much you are putting on each type of bet. eg: If you want 3 x £1 doubles and a £2 treble, fill the respective amount into the correct boxes.

Click Calculate and the program will tell you how much money the bet will return if it comes up.

It also shows you how many singles, doubles, trebles etc are involved in your bet. No need to work out how many trebles are in a 5-team patent.

Actual winnings:

The same as above but only enter the SPs of your winners and fill in the rest accordingly.

How greedy is your bookie?

You can decide how greedy your bookie is by clicking the Value button. You have to enter the SP of all the possible outcomes in boxes 1-16, then click Value. If the result is above 1, the bet is weighted in favour of the bookie. The higher the figure is above 1, the more the bet is weighted in favour of the bookie.

I've seen odds on a website that claims to display the best odds available on various bookie's sites. I haven't got a bank account so haven't had a bet to confirm them. If the prices that were quoted were correct, you couldn't lose money if you betted the correct amount with 3 different bookies. It doesn't happen very often.
