Long term doubles

It's been months since last the post here, so I figured I'd give it an update and see if anyone has any ideas.

My longshot multiple

India (CricWC) x Sharks (S15) x South Africa (RWC) x Man Utd (Ch) @ 2640/1 for a potential R50k+ return

fell when Man U lost the CC final, but I had it covered with a treble involving Barca which now leaves me with a potential R5.6k profit if New Zealand win the rugby world cup. Man U winning the Premiership covered all my costs and even leaves me a couple of bucks ahead if NZ fail. Happy with that state of affairs.

I've now added a Wozniacki/Federer/South Africa treble, just R20 but paying 214.20 for a R4k+ potential return.

Interbet are offering a 10% bonus on trebles right now, slightly less on doubles. I'm just playing tiny bets but it's quite fun to have a chance of winning a few thousand for small outlays.
I haven't figured out what I like for the July yet but don't seem to be able to take sports/horse multiples on Interbet anyway.

Please add any suggestions. It wouldn't hurt to have a Nadal cover in there, for starters.

Anyone else wanting me to transfers any posts from the old sports forum give me a shout

India to win the upcoming series against the West Indies and England

Serena Williams to cause a major upset and win Wimbledon

Thanks CnC.

Interbet don't have a series bet on offer for India yet; will keep eyes open.
Serena currently 9/2 2nd fav behind Sharapova. She's attracted almost all of the limited amount placed on Interbet so far. Looks worth a double with something.

Maybe Andy Murray to win as well just to pee off the English.

Mine is not so long term...

Anything grab your attention there?

Rugby World Cup, not on your list but Sportsbet have the best value here 12/10 on Australia making the final. Should miss NZ and SA, assuming no shocks in Round 1 and Aus seem to be coming good at the right time. 15/4 looks good value for them to win as you can lay off your bet in the final.

Currie Cup lottery, Lions look good and as no Boks come back they look best value for me at 33/10.

Premiership, United at 13/10 should take it City look to be the only real challenger this year. Surprised Arsenal are so short thought they would be around 82/1, lol.

Tennis: Serena and Novak should win but are short and no value. Murray must get it right at some stage and 5/1 on him is much better value than Nadal.

T20 anyone can win this format.

Test: Surely the only way Pakistan couldn't beat Zim in a test is if they throw or badly rain affected. 11/20 great price.

ATC: Aus to make final / Man Utd / Pakistan at around 7/1.

Thanks Shrek. I've taken a couple of small bets using some of those ideas.
Also thrown in Webb Simpson each way in the golf, after reading article at goodforthegame.

Simpson wins on the second play-off hole to set up a 76.50 double with Man Utd to win the league.
Also had Simpson in the same double to finish top 5 @ 16.88. Only gripe is that I put on a total of only R50.

Pakistan safely through against Zim as the first leg of two multiples as well.

Sabre excellent call on Simpson your doubles on Man U are looking great now. It doesn't matter how much you put on it you are still looking at an excellent return. (tu)

Man U doubles looking wobbly now with the demolition by City today, but plenty time left and gives me something to play with.
I took a Sharks/City double at 10/1 ten days ago. Premiership will be looking solid if Sharks manage to win the final.

Banked my R5k profit on New Zealand thanks to their 1 point win in the final. (tu)
I did lay off a small portion onto France just in case, to cover about R1k.

Time to start looking for new long term targets.
