The Correct Score System
Currently, most U.K. betting shops accept Correct Score Doubles, Trebles, etc. on U.K. football matches.
Currently, in even matched games, a score of 2-1 (home or away) is approximately 9/1 and 3-2 (either way) is 25/1 or 28/1. So a 2-1 Treble yields 1000/1 and the worst 3-2 Double pays 625/1.
My approach, in an attempt to snare a 1000/1 Treble, is to select ten matches and to perm any 3 from 10, in 120 Trebles. Obviously, I avoid all the Manchester United V Barnsleys and I believe 2-1s are easier to find than 1-2s.
The individual match prices are a good guide as to who's going to win 2-1.
Seek marginally (4/5, 8/11 etc.) odds-on home sides. Another good guide is to purchase a weekly Racing and Football Outlook from a good newsagents on a Wednesday. They devote four tabloid size pages to football.
As said, any 3 from 10 is 120 Trebles and cheaper Perms are 3 from 8 (56) and 3 from 9 (84). There's no very simple way of calculating Trebles, but it is done as follows:
If you wish to know 3 from 16, you draw a horizontal line and below the line you write 1 x 2 x 3 and above the line you put 16 x 15 x 14. Then divide above the line by below the line for the answer - 560.
Calculating Doubles is simplicity itself. If you wish to know how many Doubles in, say 20, you take the number below the 20, half the even number and multiply the two together. So Doubles in 20 is 190 (19 x 10).
On U.K. football 3-2 is a fairly reasonably common score and at a minimum match price of 25/1 the Double is a very tasty 625/1. Any 2 from, say 15 is 105 Doubles and the Doubles can be from 1p upwards - so at 10p the wager would cost £10.50 and at 1p the stake is £1.05p.
One thing’s for absolute sure, you'll find more 9 and 25/1 football winners, than similarly priced horse race winners. Each week there will be roughly twenty (out of fifty-odd), 9/1 and 25/1 football winners on the coupon.
Finding the 3-2s is not an impossibility. Seek home sides who average two home-goals per game, that are marginally odds-on, playing sides that are averaging at least one away goal per away game.
Eliminate all the Home/Away "bankers" and cover the residue in 3-2 Doubles (any 2 from, say 35) and you'll win money over the season.
Now for the instructions. Having decided how many matches you wish to cover in Doubles or Trebles and at what score, you simply do this:
Find the Correct Score Column and enter 2-1 (for example) in the ten appropriate boxes (for example). Then turn the coupon sideways and write (for example) "Perm any 3 from 10 = 120 x 10p Win Trebles" and then enter £12.00p in the Total Stake box.
Should you wish to try 3-2 doubles, then use a different coupon (one wager per coupon) and write 3-2 in your 20 selected boxes and sideways write (for example) "Perm any 2 from 20 = 190 x 10p (for example) Win Doubles" and enter £19.00p in the Total Stake box.
Should the coupons be absent, then borrow a duplicate coupon from behind the betting shop counter (for the match numbers) and then write on a betting slip "Football Correct Scores 30.08.97 matches 7, 11, 18, 27 etc.
(Put a ring around the match numbers) all 3-2 in 120x10p Win Doubles".
Do likewise for your 2-1 Win Trebles. Ask the counter-hand to check you haven't "under" or "over" staked your wager.
We have developed some Plans that are a lot more economical than the full cover perms explained above. Please consider using them. They are more cost effective than full cover perms, and still have excellent guarantees. If you use these Plans you cannot just mark your 10 matches with the simple instruction “Perm any 3 from 10 = 120 bets”. You will have to enter each individual bet on the coupon and you may need several coupons. It is worth the effort, because these Plans give better value for money than a full cover any 3 from 120, or any 5 from 10 etc
Plan 3/4/10
Enter your own 10 match numbers at the side of those below, and then simply replace the numbers in the plan below with your own numbers.
1= 2= 3= 4= 5= 6= 7= 8= 9= 10=
When completed your coupon will have 45 bets, each one a treble from your chosen 10 matches.
This Plan will guarantee you a winning treble if you have 4 correct anywhere in your 10 matches. It takes only 45 lines, a big saving on a full perm of any 3 from 10 which is 120 bets
