I miss the days when there was an actual Mod in the sub...

RIP Perpetual Czech (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/members/48810/), per this week's Bet the Process podcast...

rsigley likely took years off his life. RIP.

PerpetualCzech and ImBen together at last in heaven. Or arguing in hell.

thank god for state sportsbook glitches /bad programming and algo trading and prop 'experts' on twatter.

ImBen died too?

Most likely just dead inside

Was that you hacking Binance, TomG?

if any of the discord peeps read this i lost my damn phone that had my Hare login details saved, so if anyone tried to reach me sorry haven't been ghosting just can't login. shoot me a DM here if anything.

Looking for something pretty specific. Hope people can help.

I'm looking to do an accumulator bet as part of a Secret Santa gift. I want ridiculous odds + a sweat.

I was thinking along the lines of a few dead certs and then a couple of long shots all put together to come out with a potential (but unlikely) huge win.

Conditions:

-All events have to be around shortly after Christmas due to the time of giving the gift.
-The dead certs have to come first and the long shots after otherwise the sweat is ruined.
-Looking for combined odds of at least 10,000/1

Thanks

judging by your use of the term "accumulator" I assume you are outside of the U.S.A.? if so I imagine you can find some soccer/football (however you prefer to call it) matches with heavy favorites to include on the ticket without too much trouble. maybe even some January tennis if that isn't too late?

i assume you do realize there really is no such thing as a "dead certainty" or "lock" in this business... but if you can find some selections with odds of 1.11 (90% likelihood) or shorter, it doesn't take that many long shots to get a combined payout of longer than 10k/1. say you find a selection at 1.11, another at 1.05, and another at 1.01; if you can find another selection to back at 90.0 and another at 100.0 your combined payout is about 10500/1 off just 5 selections.

as for where to find those odds, you'll have to look through whatever local sportsbooks you have access to yourself.

NFL will be going, take 3 -800 faves, then add to that 3 +600 dogs and 3 alt lines +250. That would get you 20,000:1.

Thanks guys.

I'm finding most places online aren't offering bets for anything more than 1 week in the future. I'm guessing that's standard and I just have to wait.
