Happy Birthday!Doing my first acca today, with one leg at 3pm and another at 5:30pm. I was sooo worried I was going to miss it, even though I set an alarm
Kind of an odd way to spend my birthday I guess?
I tend to do 4 normals alongside 1 LOCK IN to cover any qualifying losses I might have..Hehe, thanks!
@Jon just a normal one, I'm definitely walking before I run on this one!
(just realised that cake says 357 rofl!)

@Jon help! I’m away this weekend and literally just sat bolt upright in bed as I forgot to lay Liverpool v West Ham on my lock in acca. As Liverpool won, will this matter?? And should I now just lay the next game (which is Olympique Lyonnais v St. Etienne, although acca catcher says that was yesterday and it’s actually today, unless I’ve cocked that up too!!)
If you forgot to lay then change the lay amount to 0 on acca catcher for that game and the rest of the numbers should all adjust
Thanks Jon. I’m a liability! Need to think about my plan. I note you do one lock in, to cover QL’s, and four normal. Normal are the ones where you get the free bet if one leg loses, right, whereas the lock in is the small but guaranteed profit? So the idea behind normal is basically law of average in terms of it coming in?
Do remember that the 'lock-in' method still assumes you get a free bet if one leg loses, so if one leg only does lose you will have a free bet you will need to cash in in the normal way. The guaranteed (and it isn't 100% guaranteed - if the odds move badly against you, you can make a small loss, although this is very rare) return is effectively using the free bet money in advance.
Just a personal thing but betting on the potential of a faller is something I have a problem with as it comes with the potential of a horse being put down. I know I bet on horses and it is always a risk that something bad may happen and I am helping fund that, but betting on a horse hoping it falls is a bit too much for me. I do bet on the beaten by a length races though and have had some good returns.
