No it wont work.

Well it will, they will allow you to place the bet. But the any time try scorer is cancelled out by the first try scorer. Their algos are smart enough to understand when one leg depends on another and basically null value it.

I actually think they reduce the odds slightly as a "lol dont be a dickhead"

I always think its funny when i see people create these huge same game multis with a bunch of legs rhat essentially add nothing to the odds. Like adding "storm to win" with "storm 13+" is exactly the same as just having "storm 13+".

I would have thought they would be smart enough too, but in all the bookies I have ever know, the algorithms prevent you from these types of bets. It comes back with something like "related outcomes" or something. SO Im a bit intrigued as to how this will play out if they actually let that bet go through and the projected win amount actually equates to the multiple of the individual bets. If they let you place the bet, and they have tallied the return, then it would have to be in their fine print that the bet gets void.

And if their algorithm is smart enough to pick up on these things after the fact, you have to wonder why they dont just prevent them in the first place? Cynically Im wondering whether they do it on purpose so people place the bets hoping they have found a loop hole, when actually they havent... Anyway, keep us updated RB!!

So if you pick a FTS, you can either multi it with either a ATS and or also add To Score A Try First Half to increase your odds many fold.

I don't usually bet on FTS as I think it's a mugs game but if you're going to put on a FTS bet you might as well go all the way as your odds increase with out any consequence as far as I can see.

I already put this bet on for tomorrow so am I missing something ?

Odds are high that if one event happened the other likely did as well, but will be treated as independent events in their betting model

Just thankful I checked in before the Manly match and saw DCE so I could reverse trading him in. If Ponga is out then I will be reversing my other trade and playing 16 I guess. Just thankful Origin is over now.

They let the bet go through, that is the whole point of the "same game multi" section on sportsbet/etc. It exists to collect money from punters.

Long gone are the days of gaming the system, their platforms are too mature for that nowadays

You wont get better odds than just placing a single first try scorer bet, i can gaurentee that
