Third Round Frenzy

The third round of the FA Cup was a profitable one for me as I won on a goliath and an accumulator.

On Friday afternnon I decided that, because I was off work, I would place 5p a line bets on my goliaths until I return. It was a fifty percent cut on what I would usually place on my selections but I felt it was the most sensible thing next to not betting at all. We all know I wasn't going to stop havin a flutter!

So, I picked the eight teams. They were, in n particular order; Yeovil, Bristol Rovers, Norwich City, Bournemouth, Boston United, Bolton Wanderers, Cambridge United and Portsmouth.

The bet cost me £12.35 but as I had thirteen pounds in the account I thought I would place a 65p accumulator on the teams as well.

At the end f the afternoon's games seven of the eight had won. The final selection became void when the game in Cambridge was called off due to poor weather.

I returned £120.34 on the goliath whilst the accumulator generated a £32.33 profit.
