I am waiting on west ham for 6500, done it as a cash bet so no cash out available. What can I do to get level return from the 3 outcomes on today's bet. Betting is 4/7 spurs 16-5 the draw and 9/2 west ham

I can't think of anything with those odds, I'm sure somebody will have an idea though.

Lay West Ham for a grand (plus commission) at 6. If West Ham win you'll pick up your £6.5k less a £5kish payout.
If West Ham fail to win you're a grand up on here less your stake. Good luck. |

Lay West Ham for a grand (plus commission) at 6. 500/1 to have £5,000 in bf. |

Just trying to help, Emma. At least he has a couple of hours to lay off what he can afford, whether that's a quid or the full grand.

Lots of firms do a bet called a double result do spurs and draw then have a bit on spurs.
But you done west ham for a reason sooooooooooo how brave are you?? Good luck whatever you decide. |
|
By:
I thought of that, Spurs/draw are about 1/7.
 Brave it out and prey to God that West Ham take the lead. That would make laying them a much better price. I was going to ask why you backed them but then I noticed you name. Good luck. |

Only one thing is certain here: if the OP doesn't commit either way before the result is known and then comes back on saying he won, roida is going to absolutely erupt.

It's a 3euro bet. Let it ride!
|
|
By:
the simple answer as always is..if the money means anything get out with a decent profit..if the moneys immaterial let it ride..
|
|
By:
I agree Emma (I like that btw Rob!) but after staking 3euro, I wouldn't want to be giving away 5 grand plus of my potential winnings, to win a grand. If it was cheaper to lay, fair enough. I'd do as someone earlier suggested - cross my fingers and hope West Ham score first.

West Ham have won all their London derbies this season against Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace. The Dragon 22 Nov 15 14:51 away wins at liverpool, city, arsenal, chelsea Means nowt, of course. |
|
By:
There's a multitude of answers that could apply, really. If you make West Ham a 3/1 shot and you got them at 5/1, let it ride. If you make them a 7/1 shot, get out. Depends on whether you think you're on at a good price or not. Ultimately it's as roida says - lay off if you'd be sick at not winning something.

Usually ignorance sparrow. Without telling us what steak was involved the original q was pretty meaningless anyway.

It was a £3 acca.

It was in euro so more like £2.10.

You would have been better off not putting West Ham in the bet in the first place. I can never see the point in cashing out on an acca as you are usually laying worse odds than you've actually taken.

4138.84 on Spurs at 4/7
1511.16 on the draw at 16/5 850 profit whatever |

Shirley it is better to make the last one on the Sunday a 'short un' that can be traded.

I just don't get people who want to cash out. Biggest rip off bet out there, no wonder bookies advertise it on to wnenever they get chance.
If u placed a 6 team Acca and West Ham were obviously the last one then u would have know what u were going to win if the 1st five came in and if that was a figure u knew u would want to cash out at then why bother adding West Ham in!!!!! If u look at the bookies Twitter feeds on a weekend all u ever see is people asking if they can cash out all the time. It's no wonder punters with half a brain can't get a bet on when all these idiots are betting. |

By:
Hard to argue with any of that.

By:
too simplistic imo
|
|
By:
In what way ST? Especially the part about including West Ham. (I'm not knocking the selection btw, but as SA says, if you want to then cash out after the first 5 win on Saturday, why include them at all?)
|
|
By:
He uses the term 'rip-off' as if the decision to cash out involves giving money away to an unscrupulous operator.
I don't see it like that as all that is happening is taking the equity out of a bet by using dutching style calculations on the odds that are available. As to whether the decision to cash out is correct, that is up to the holder of the bet and his/her personal circumstances. It is simply another option to consider. Plenty of people on here 'green up' and I don't see much criticism of that practice. |
|
By:
Greening up usually involves betting at market value. Cash outs are always going to be in the bookies favour.
Moreover, if he knew he wasn't going to be able to cash out, why add a team on Sunday? Of course I agree with the point you and others raise that cashing out, or greening up, depends on personal circumstances. Had he not included a team on Sunday, he wouldn't have found himself in that position and would have been able to back West Ham with the grand he'd won on Saturday, should he still wish to do so. |

Sorry, I'm not seeing this. As I said, the odds available are being used in the calculations. The bookie is not getting any extra because you are cashing out. Your other point is obscure because I don't believe that a punter who places an accumulator has any idea of which selections are likely to fail him. He just picks his fancies and puts the accumulator on. The cash out is an option that could possibly come later. |
