This may be a dumbass question, but i'm clueless so that's how it is.

Picture the hypothetical scene where there is a full PL and FL fixture programme on a Saturday afternoon. Assuming that all results went as perdicted as most likely by the bookies, what kind of odds do you think you would get on getting them all right as home/away/draw with an accumulator?

Best guesses, obviously.

5-1

Maybe less.

It would be way beyond the maximum payout of the bookies. All draws would be billions/1.

But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day...
Even if you're being really stingy and giving 1-2 odds on every game you're looking at a return of £126m for a £1 stake (1.5^46)]

EDIT: Things like all draws get ridiculous. Draw is usually 5-2 minimum. 46 draws @ 5-2 in an accumulator = £10,644,617,006,010,807,834,492,398 for a £1 stake (aka 10 septillion)

I think they(Most Bookies) have a Max win of £1M on football coupons. They have a lot of rules about coupons. I've never seen a Bookie on a bike!

For a number of them it's as low as £100k.
