Once a week the Balls.ie punter goes into his betting laboratory an concocts and evil and madcap accumulator. The strike rate is admittedly low but the punter believes that this week he has finally stumbled upon the perfect formula. Here is the punter's 12 fold multi-sport five star lock banker accumulator of the week*. Have a look at the punter's 12 fold accumulator and ask yourself a serious question. Which one of those teams could possibly let the punter down? (odds are from ladbrokes and are expressed in decimals)
Wales -2 against Italy- 1.36
England to beat France- 1.33
Ireland to beat Scotland- 1.66
Cardiff to beat Connacht- 1.33
Ulster +9 against Glasgow- 1.66
Ireland U20 to beat Scotland U20- 1.2
Dublin Hurlers to beat Offaly Hurlers- 1.2
Man United to beat QPR- 1.5
Arsenal to beat Aston Villa- 1.33
Galway to beat Louth- 1.61
Armagh to beat Wexford- 1.57
Gloucester to beat Worcester- 1.16
People are getting very worried about Ireland's chances of beating Scotland but the punter thinks Paddy Jackson and Luke Marshall are well able for the step up. After all, the Scottish midfield is their weakest area and their half backs aren't world beaters either. There are a couple of other matches that may frighten you, mainly the rescheduled National League games but a €5 stake here gets you back a little over €280 profit. The punter thinks a fiver is worth the risk in this case.
