Bet Strategy options

Each option puts most of the £10.00 on the first outcome and only enough on the second outcome to cover the full stake:

Home + Draw · Combined pre-match model chance 85.5%

  • Primary: £7.77 on Home at 1.61 with Coral — returns £12.51
  • Cover: £2.23 on Draw at 4.50 with Paddy Power — returns £10.04

The primary outcome makes £2.51 profit. The cover outcome recovers the £10.00 total stake, plus £0.04. If Away wins (pre-match model chance 14.5%), the full £10.00 is lost.

Dutching is available. A different split can make a profit if either selected outcome wins. With the £10.00 example stake, the winning selection would return £11.86 whichever of these two outcomes occurs.

Draw + Home · Combined pre-match model chance 85.5%

  • Primary: £3.78 on Draw at 4.50 with Paddy Power — returns £17.01
  • Cover: £6.22 on Home at 1.61 with Coral — returns £10.01
