...or alternatively, you would have to be a tosspot, to do a fivespot.

The bet is madness and as well as requiring the initial luck of picking winners they also have to fall into a sequence to reap any rewards , commonly known as a " bet saver "

If you must place a multi then either....

-Reduce to 4 selections and change to a L15

-Instead of a £10 Fivespot do a £4.83 L31 for the same stake

or better still unless you're looking for a bad e/way with 5 over broke place books then stick to singles and ignore the multi route and all the bonuses that will almost certainly never apply.


Good luck  Happy

Agreed it is one of those bets Bookies make most money out of....

Having said that I had a juicy Lucky 63 come up on Saturday courtesy of the 5 star flutter tip I got producing 6 winners....

Over £5000 profit for a £6.30 stake......

Days like that you dream of!!!!!!!!!

No more L63's for me though reckon its a once in a life-time occurence...
