i have seen this done on forums before and have always wanted to give it a try.

i am going to give myself a starting balance of 200 euro and see if i can turn that into 15000 euro (ambitious i know) before the end of the gaelic and hurling championships. more than likely i will be bankrupt (i.e. lose the starting balance of 200euro) after a few weeks but its worth a try. i will use the odds on the paddypower website at the time of writing.

so just the two bets for this weekend.

50 euro treble:
galway (1/10), cavan (8/15), kildare (2/9)
win return 103.07

20 euro fourfold:
wicklow +5 (10/11), cavan -2 (1/1), carlow +9 (10/11), roscommon +7 (1/1)
win return 291.57

RUNNING TOTAL - 130EURO

Could I suggest renaming this thread - turning Paddy Power into an even wealthier man!

just collected me first accumulator of the year for the championship got all the games right but didnt use the handicap so dint really make a whole lot but a good start all the same, must say it was an easy weekend to predict- how anyone rated kildare is beyond me on wht basis id love to know- wicklow always had this one in the bag

You may as well stick that 130 on the next favourite at the DOGS.

Are you going to refund everyone on here who took your advice and placed those bets at the weekend? Luckily, i wasnt that stupid but id imagine judging by the general IQ on here, alot of others might not have been so lucky

just goes to show that even the best of us can get it wrong at times.

Fair enough Loyal got it wrong but at least he posted it on here prior to the games un like Ball-Boy who says he backed all the winners, next time Ball-Boy post before the game.

Also if you got all your predictions on your accumulator right it pays 9-1 so something tells me your talking bull again Ball-Boy

ok hopefully, we can recoup last week's losses with a few winners this weekend. it is very easy to get these bets wrong but at least but i am willing to put my neck on the line and say what i think before the event - just wanted to say that before everyone comes along with their tuppence worth if i get them wrong again.

anyway for this weekend; i would suggest the following bets:

30euro double:
limerick -2 (1/1) monaghan -2 (5/4)
win return 135.00

20euro treble:
waterford (13/8) monaghan (8/13) limerick (8/15)
win return 130.04

20euro double:
limerick ht/ft (1/1) monaghan ht/ft (13/10)
win return 92.00

RUNNING TOTAL - 60EURO

would 30+20+20 not be 70??

130-70 = 60

have a look at the thread from the beginning.

Limerick 8/15, Monaghan 8/13 and Sligo(-13) at 11/10 pays just over 4/1 for the treble. Limerick are a cert to beat Tipp, Monaghan will have it tougher against Fermanagh but should win, and Sligo will hammer London. That's my tip. 20 euro treble returns 104.

Very good northwestisbest but I think you missed the point.

Starting balance of ?200 - ?70 (last weeks loss) - ?70 (this weeks bet) = ?60

monaghan (-3) 7/4, tipperary (+1) 11/8, waterford (+1) 6/5 pays around 14.3/1..........
