Emptying My Betfair Account
I logged into my Betfair account tonight for the first time in months. I was surprised to see I had a balance of £48.63. From where I have no idea, I was sure I’d emptied my account long ago and got bored with it.
Anyways, what to do with my new found wealth? I had a look around the sports section and decided I’d have a bet on next weekends Six Nations fixtures, just to make it that little bit more interesting. Rather than bet sensibly and try and turn my £48.63 into £61 by backing the favourites, I decided to go for the long shot.
My Bets –
- France v Scotland (Backing Scotland @ 9.5)
- Wales v England (Backing England @ 4.41)
- Italy v Ireland (Backing Italy @ 7.22)
I put on 3 x doubles at £12.00 each -
| Doubles | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Selections | Odds | Stake | Potential win |
| 1 and 2 | 41.9 | £12.00 | £490.80 |
| 1 and 3 | 68.54 | £12.00 | £810.48 |
| 2 and 3 | 31.84 | £12.00 | £370.08 |
then used the change on the 1 x treble!
| Trebles | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Selections | Odds | Stake | Potential win |
| 1,2 and 3 | 302.44 | £12.63 | £3807.19 |
Total Backer’s Stake: £48.63
Your total potential win: £5478.55
Obviously the chances are slim, but it’ll have me chewing my nails if the treble is still on by Sunday!

LOL, it’s all about the money! It’s not often England are the underdog; and if Wales do beat them I won’t shed a tear
