£1 for me £2 sky bet
Yes, just claimed the first PP & it's only £1.
Thing is I bet about £30 a week with paddy Power. Just been down the club and a fella I know in there got £5 with pp and he said he hardly bets with them.

Because they want to encourage those that bet with them from time to time to bet with them all of the time. Betfair started with the Exchange but, within a few years, added poker, casino and ultimately their sportsbook because they wanted to make themselves a one stop, all singing, all dancing vehicle. They became as hypocritical in doing that as bookmakers were in challenging them (legally too) when they were purely an Exchange. If you were to stop using PP then you can bet your bottom dollar that they would soon send you a free bet or two.
So one of my pre season accys was 840-1 odds. I put on £20.
11 of my choices currently in the right spot. Haaland top scorer, Sheff Utd, West Brom, Millwall all top half, Sheff Weds, Ipswich, Bolton top 6, Northampton, Salford top 7, Wrexham champions and Celtic to win SPL.
1 not in Peterborough top 6. Looks a bad choice to me as they are 8th and 5points behind Barnsley who for me to win are their only realistic target (IE they can't knock Bolton out as I would still lose).
Still, I am surprised given the opening odds that I have never had a cash out option. Interested to know if bookies algorithms are clever enough to work out algorithms on multiples like this or whether all 12 would need to have stars align and be in place for a week to stand a chance.
Surprisingly with 5 games to go all 12 of my choices are in the right place. Can't help but get a twinge of excitement but I know at least one out of West Brom, Bolton, Peterborough or Salford will mess it up. The other 8 all look near enough likely now. Even with 5 games left and the original 840-1 odds I have not got a cash out. I guess the algorithm would be too difficult so it will simply run.
I have mentioned my pre season accy above but maybe not the fact I had put two on that were materially very similar.
I used a bit of cash that I won on the National last year through Mr Peanuts and never expected them to come through but hoped I may get a cash out option which has never come through.
So anyway there were a total 13 selections; Millwall, Sheff Utd and West Brom to finish top half, Bolton, Ipswich and Sheff Weds top 6, Northampton top 7 and Wrexham win NL were 8 that are all now 100% locked in. Celtic to win SPL (need one win in last 5 games); Haaland top scorer (9 ahead of Kane), Man City to win PL (seems highly, highly likely and they play twice more before the last set of League games so should be even more likely by then).
That leaves Salford to finish top 7. Currently they sit 6th, 3 points and 4 goals better than 8th so look good but have Gills last game who are a decent team so certainly not counting my chickens... And Peterborough top 6 which looks very unlikely as essentially they would need to beat Barnsley and hope Derby lose to Sheff Weds who are now guaranteed only play offs and will be resting players.
So help required... Is there a way I can lay some risk and lock in some profit if I assume Celtic, Man City and Haaland come through so the risk I am laying is Salford and Peterborough... Thanks all.

Salford isn't the issue - they need to lose and Mansfield need to win and there has to be a 5 goal turnaround in goal difference. For that reason you can back Mansfield at 15/2 which hedges that element of the acca but that is of no use whatsoever if Peterboro' fail to make the top 6. The fact that you can get 4/1 on Peterboro' doing that implies that they have a 20% chance of doing so. The Betfair Top 6 market is very thin on liquidity but at 1.26 (or 1/4) there is no really no value in backing Derby especially as you would still have to back Mansfield at 15/2.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but splitting your stake in to 13 twelvefolds plus the acca at the time you placed the bet would almost certainly have given you a return assuming that Salford do, as seems very likely, finish in the top six.

Thanks. Had seen the 1.26 in Derby after posting. The shame is I wasn't going to put Peterborough in but didn't get round to putting the bet on until after the 3rd game and they had won all 3..
I only put the bet on thinking they would all be near the top at some point and I would get a cash out but that has never been offer as I guess the AI systems can't work it out.
Still, if you narrow it down to Peterborough at 20% then I have a 20% chance of winning £28K so that will certainly keep the games interesting!
I did also put my top 6 picks in a separate accy so Assuming Man City win the PL I have a decent little chunk coming to me... All subject to Paddy Power actually paying out of course as they haven't done so on a bet I won on Saturday so far.

Hopefully you didn't put anything on Derby especially as you could now back Mansfield at 8/1 with Skybet to make the Play Offs if you wanted to hedge some of your bet

Nothing on Derby as was not worth it. Tried Mansfield but max stake I get is about £50 which is not much of a hedge.. so fingers crossed!

It's not much better but there is about £1,100 available to lay Salford in their "top 7" market between 1.06 and 1.12 (and quite possible that more will be put up there if you take all of that) for a cost of about £100.
Good luck whatever you decide but the odds really are with you.
