I'm looking to try a system i remember reading in the paper about 15-20 years ago. Backing the 3-3 in all games on the saturday coupon and perming any 2 or 3 to come in. This was back in the days when betting tax was still applied and prices were better. Nearly all 3-3 games were 100/1.
As the number games differ from week to week i'm looking to see if anyone knows of any site or formula where you can work out the perms with around 60 selections.
Also looking to see if it's still worthwhile doing these days since to odds range from 50/1 to 100/1.

Even at the lowest odds of 50's you would get a return of £1326.51 for a 1p unit stake and over last few seasons i've noticed this coming in at least once a season and last year there was one saturday with 4 draws.

Then click on Permutation and Combination

It'll be the combination calculation that you'll be intereted in.

With 60 selections there are total permutations of 8,032,098,711,274,139,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

perming 2 from 60 = 1770 permutations
perming 3 from 60 = 34220 permutations

just google permutation calculators, not sure about the viability of the system any longer, you could always back test it if you can get the odds available.

Cheers Ritzy, had just checked that out and doesn't sound like it's a goer.

I use the following method. For example 20 selections and you want to calculate trebles (20 x 19 x 18) divided by (1 x 2 x 3).  This would appear to work using RitzyD answer above, doubles 60 x 59 divided by 1 x 2 = 3540/2 = 1770.
