A stupid question coming up as I've only really started gambling on football

I've got accumulators involving FA cup games which have been prosponed, does that mean I will have to wait till they are replayed, or will my bets be void?

Cheers

[Thomas L'Heureux]

I'm absolutely gutted, placed three bets early this morning before departing for a badminton match, and have got home to discover that selections in all of them have been postponed.

I went for Llanelli and under 2.5 goals in the Leicester v Crystal Palace game, with the former's away game against Caersws being called off.

Also went for Tredder's Derby and Sheffield United double, and although Derby are on their way back from two down, United's game at Leyton Orient is off.

Finished up with a treble of Cetic, Barcelona, and Ayr United, with the latter's game against Stranraer cancelled.

Suddenly all my value has disappeared.

I'm pretty sure that those particular selections will be void, but the bet will still stand. If you placed a ten-fold and have two postponed selections, it'll turn into an eight-fold for example.

EDIT: Disappointed that Celtic let a 2-0 lead slip late on, so have put £25 on a Liverpool and Barcelona double. Only returns £17 plus my stake but seems decent enough value.

My £2 Lucky 15 returned £283 Shame Cheltenham was postponed, otherwise had they won that would have returned £625.

Got £5 treble of Arsenal, Liverpool and Cardiff. All going on Villa and Man Utd today.

[cmonurz]

Villa 2-1 (9/1) and Villa 3-1 (12/1) at Gillingham.

[Tredder]

+3.5 in the Villa Gills game @ 3.1 on BF.

[Skin]

+3.5 in the Villa Gills game @ 3.1 on BF.

Got my over 2.5 double up Rangers/Villa at odds of 3/4 and 4/5. Although until about 5 mins ago I thought Rangers had finished 2-0 so didn't care when Villa went 2-1 up.. So now after all that:


I will put a £10 treble on h/t draw f/t man u @ 7/2, over 2.5 real madrid @ 13/20, and Taylor -2.5 on the handicap @ 10/11

Might also do Taylor 7-4 to keep an interest either way.

All going on Villa and Man Utd today.

I've put £30 on the above, and also just stuck a quid on Southampton in-play, at odds of 200/1!

[Tredder]

I must be unlukiest better on the under and overs, did Liverpool +2.5 yeaterday, and Keane could have done that on his own, today it was Villa, i have a Man Utd bet running and i've just hedged my stake with £2 on the draw @ 25's, what site allows you to have a pound in running?

For future reference, Stan James would let you do this.

Quality RG30, very good weekend by the looks of things. I'm personally not a fan of Patents, Trixies, Yankees, Lucky 15s etc but I'm glad to see you're about £450 up!

I figured by doing the patent, even if 2 of the 3 came in I would have only lost around £100 from my winnings yesterday, but once Villa won I was pretty confident United wouldn't slip up at Southampton.

Yeah think that's me done for a while. I always fancy my chances of making a healthy return FA Cup 3rd Round weekend, you get some good value and I was up at £350-£400 the same weekend last year.
