Some people say that accumulators are easy money for bookies. And 9 times out of 10, that's the case. But the beautiful thing about the accumulator is that you only need to win once.
So it is written, so it shall be done. This is why we must persist in the face of adversity! This is why I write to you now with little interest left in watching the rest of the night's darts after my Premier League picks, predictably, fell at the first hurdle.
Do I give up? No! Instead of counting my losses, I learn from my mistakes and take the remaining shards of optimism forward onto the weekend for a bigger and better accumulator effort!
I sound stupid, don't I? But then you think back to October 27th, 2012, when one of the most dramatic games of the season saw four goals in the last 15 minutes and ended in a 3-3 draw between Reading and Fulham. This, coupled with Aston Villa being held 1-1 at home against Norwich and a stalemate between Stoke and Sunderland, won me €180. And meant that I was just a mere €10 from breaking even for football bets for 2012-13. Yep, despite loss after loss, if I win over €10 for the rest of this season, I've won the accumulator.
Remember, with the accumulator, you only need to win once.
Or, in this case, twice.

RBS Six Nations - Weekend 3 Picks
| Will Simon Zebo's injury prove destructive to Ireland's Six Nations hopes? |
Italy vs
Wales
Saturday 23rd February; Stadio
Olimpico; KO 14:30.
When
writing my preview for Italy vs France in the opening round of games, I
predicted Italy to win by 3. On the match day, though, I was unsure that it would actually
happen. So to win by 4 was sensational.
Two
weeks ago however, Scotland avoided a hat-trick of defeats against the Azzuri,
demolishing them in all areas of Murrayfield (someone joked to me at full time
“Those chipper owners were deffo on the piss after beating France, for the
whole week too!”)
