Odds help please

Hi,

I am hoping somebody could point me in the right direction with some numbers, I tend to do league outright accumulator betting and have made some good returns. But I have made a few errors (like backing one team in too many bets) and so am looking to develop something.


1) If, I wanted to bet on the outright winner of 4 leagues, how many bets would I need to place to cover all the different combinations where I think one of 3 teams will win each league?

2)What is the formulae for this if i want to use of for 5 or 6 leagues, I realise there would be a stupid number of bets.

3)What if say out of the 4 leagues I thought
League A: has 3 possible winners
League B: has 2 possible winners
League C: has 4 possible winners
League D: has 4 possible winners
is the total number of accumulators i need to put on to cover all the possibilities?




I hope that makes sense and would really appreciate any help.


Phil,

In your example of leagues A,B,C,D the sum is simply 3x2x4x4=96.

This means there are 96 fourfolds required to cover all the different combinations of the teams picked. Obviously there can only be 1 possible winning fourfold, and you must get all 4 winners correct to win.

Hope this helps, Wolf . and .
