Dear Football Pools Fans,
Welcome to part 2 - Not The 'FULL PERM'
Did you know that on some weeks when there are only eight score draws, that
the odds against you getting them all together in one 8 from 10 perm are over
42 ½ MILLION to one? You'd be better off with an 8 from 11 of course: the
odds against one of those gathering 8 score draws now shrinks to a mere 11 ½
million to one.
So if you use the same numbers every week or pick out numbers with a pin to
cover your 8 from 10, then good luck to you - you're going to need it. Remember
too, that if your 8 from 10 contains just ONE home win, then 36 of your 45 lines
cannot achieve more than 22 points (fourth dividend on most
weeks); and even with an 8 from 16 full perm, which costs over £200 on
littlewoods, just one home win will spoil HALF of your 12,870 lines.
What if you do more than one full perm, you may ask. Then what happens? Your
successful forecasts will be spread more or less equally among your different
columns of selections.
So, if this is true, why do so many of the big winners use full perms? Because of
the law of averages! The vast majority of people who bet on the pools use full
perms, so full perms account for the vast majority of lines of 8 X's being
covered, so most of the winners will have used full perms. But if a pools company
advertises how an 8 from 10 or an 8 from 11 has won a £2
million pound jackpot, you should remember that over THIRTY MILLION 8 from 10's
must have LOST to make up that jackpot!
The pools people make a big to-do about full perm winners because that type
of entry is the easiest and quickest for them to check, which enables them to
keep their running costs to a minimum. That's why they don't make quite as
much fuss about any other kind of Treble Chance entry such as the IPG System.
The law of averages is in fact working AGAINST the full perm enthusiast. It
dictates that he must go on losing week after week and year after year,
believing that he has had a "good" week when he has managed to get four or
five score draws even though that means he has still lost.
That's why most of the full perm fans who do the pools end up finding that
the pools are in fact - DOING THEM!
The full perm is easy to enter and extremely easy to lose with!
