Hi,

I have a free £10 acca. I picked two Turkish matches today which have both won
I have PSG and Stromsgidset left
How can back the rest of this off to make the most profit


The overall odds are 10.2. If I back of the last two matches as a dou le I only make £20.

Surely there is a way to make profit?

PSG play tomorrow 8pm uk.

I have no idea when the other team plays. If it’s not concurrently with the psg game, and PSG is first, then lay PSG to lose maybe £15.

It’s v hard to know without the details of the bet and all the individual prices. It’s possible the acca was terrible value - so hedging will only net u a few quid.

Your current equity is probably 85% of the double odds of the first 2 teams that have won.

Stromsgodset play at 1 tomorrow.

Because they play at different time to PSG can use that you me advantage?

It's tempting to let it run answer see if i win £92. £20 is very poor considering the two highest odds matches have both won.

Letting it run you're betting, that's not trading.
If doing acca's to hedge against then you want them at different times to calculate your pnl and potentially leave them to go in play for better returns. Always start your initial staking to a % of your bank against your personal bank risk tolerance

As an example I'll back a couple of outsiders in tennis markets outright to win the event market where I think they could go deep and put 2% of my bank on each of them. I don't have a maximum amount of players, just who I feel based on my research go deep. I then lay them for my initial exposure + 20% + any losses encountered where they do go to next round where 80-90% of time they traded odds on.

It's a free bet.

But you're asking should I offset it against another match which means you want to make it into a trade.
Do you want to just wing a bet or be a trader?

You need to answer the question yourself internally, am I value searcher with bets (even if they're acca's) or am I a trader

Storm are 1.8

PSG 2.3

You said the first 2 selections were bigger prices.

This makes no sense - a £10 acca should be

Team 1 ? 2.3+
Team 2 ? 2.3+
Storm 1.8
PSG 2.3

The true odds of the acca is 2.3 x 2.3 x 1.8 x 2.3 =21.901 minus 1 = 21/1.

Your return for a £10 free bet should be a great deal more than £92, even with bookies over rounds.

This is why there is almost no equity in the bet.

Let Storm play - if they win, mayne hedge PSG
