Hi
The penny has just dropped with me as to why a few members are getting confused with the rolling maul wager. Usually on this site we ignore the stake and just post the profit as that was the whole point on the daily threads. However on this thread the rolling maul is just a slow accumulator based around a 1 point start and the stake is always included when working out the next step. here is an example taken from our existing rolling maul which hopefully should clear things up a little.
Original stake 1 point on Cosmic Blizzard but each way, so we had 1/2 (0.5) point each way at 21/10
1/2 (0.5) point win lost
1/2 (0.5) place won which gave us a profit of 2.1
Now normally we would have just told you of the profit made on the bet and started again. But in this instance as it an accumulator we have included the original stake for our next bet. So we had a profit of 2.1 points plus the 0.5 of a point from the place part of the bet which gives us a total of 2.6 points.
We then split this into 2 bets A + B as experience has taught to be careful with large accumulators
Bet A = 1.3 points
Bet B = 1.3 points
We then continued betting on Bet A and B through the next week until we lost bet A on the Man united game 🙁 so we then split the remaining bet B which had reached 7 points into two giving us Bet B and Bet C which then had 3.5 points each. This brings you up to date with the last post today where we had placed our 3.5 points from Bet B on “Both teams to have a corner in both halves at 6-4 plus a 10% bonus with bet365″. This duly won so now leaves us in a tidy postion for our next phase of play.
Bet B = 3.5 points
Bet C = 10.06 points
The only real difference between our bet and a standard accumulator is that JoeH is a seat of the pants big hitter and does the accumulator in one go 🙂 and I am a cautious back seat passenger. 🙁
I named the bet the rolling maul as I am aiming to gain a few yards slowly to get me nearer the line before having a run at the defence whereas JoeH throws the ball along the line at pace. 🙂
