Football Betting Strategy: 8 Permutations with 2 Wins + 3 Draw/Win Picks

This season we’re currently hitting 42.5% win rate with odds of at least 5-1 which means you cannot loose over the long run.

 

One effective method is using 8 permutations based on a combination of 2 teams to win outright and 3 teams to either draw or win (known as double chance bets). This system allows for flexibility while maintaining a strong chance of return.

 

Each week from 9am on Friday the picks for the weekend will be available, to see these simply sign up and register a free account.

​

🎯 The Core Method

We select for you:

• 2 teams you believe will definitely win (Team A and Team B)

• 3 teams you expect to either win or draw, but not loose (Team C, D, and E)

 

Each of the 3 double chance teams has 2 possible outcomes (Win or Draw), resulting in:

23=8 permutations. These permutations are combined with the fixed wins from Teams A and B, creating 8 unique betting lines. In order to get higher odds place 8 individual acca bets with either the wins or draw.

This format makes it easier to visualize how each team’s outcome varies across the 8 permutations, Each line is a separate bet, increasing your chances of a payout even if one or two outcomes don’t go as expected.

 

💸 How to Place These Bets

Most UK bookmakers like Bet365, SkyBet, and William Hill allow you to build custom accumulators or system bets. Here’s how to do it:

1. Select your 2 win teams (e.g., Sheffield United and Cardiff City)

2. Choose 3 double chance teams (e.g., Newport County, Wrexham, Crewe Alexandra)

3. Use a bet builder or manually create 8 accumulator lines

4. Stake evenly (preference for fixed weekly returns) or weight based on confidence

Spread these bets across at least 3 bookmakers taking advantage of the various promotions. This will mean you will likely win at a different bookmaker each week. If you place all the bets with the same bookmaker it wont be long before you are having restrictions placed on your account.

• Sky bet: Acca Freeze allows you to freeze one game up to the value of £15/£20 depending on your account. This is also qualifying towards your weekly Sky bet club reward, which will give you 2x £2.50 free bets to use the following week, lowering the risk

• Bet365: Overall the best bookmaker as Acca’s include a bonus boost as well as pay out if your team go two goals up, which means not just one of you bets could come in but also a second.

• William Hill: Generally offers some of the better odds as well as acca bonus boost and occasionally will give you promotions for a free acca via they’re email.

Other bookmakers are available but we recommend starting with these 3 at this current time based on the additional edge, winnings and free sports bets you will receive.
