Odds & Sods: The losing run continued last week although overall we had 5 winners from ten, only one was in the Fab Four. Some of us are still ahead in profits, but it might be a good idea to hedge against the bad run for the moment by placing a single bet on the foursome and/or any single treble within.
So instead of betting the usual 5 units on the 4 trebles and the accm we stick to two units on the foursome. For example, at £1 per unit, a wager of £2 on the suggested foursome will return £55.79, and but still saves £3 on the usual treble cover.
