Same Game Multis: Building Sensible Football Bet Builders

P opularity, risk, and why restraint matters

Same Game Multis (a.k.a. bet builders) are everywhere because they let you shape a story: who scores, who gets booked, how many corners land. The flip side is risk. Combine too many highly related outcomes and your ticket becomes fragile—one moment kills multiple legs. This guide offers practical bet builder tips to reduce correlation, keep stakes modest, and make selections that stand on their own. Whether you bet on football every weekend or just dabble on big nights, the goal here is smarter, calmer construction rather than chasing...

City's Matt Grimes signs for Swansea City

Exeter City midfielder Matt Grimes has completed a transfer to Barclays Premier League side Swansea City.

The 19-year-old moves for an undisclosed but substantial transfer fee, which makes him comfortably the record sale in Exeter City’s history.

Exminster-born Grimes, who first joined club’s the Academy system at the Cat & Fiddle at the age of 10, was offered a professional contract in the summer of 2013 after working his way through the age-groups.

He made his debut in last season’s 2-0 home win against AFC Wimbledon and went on to play a total of 62 times in...

Exeter Chiefs side to face Gloucester

It all began with a home fixture against Gloucester and now 99 Aviva Premiership games later, it’s the Cherry & Whites who again provide the opposition for Exeter Chiefs as they prepare to engage in their 100th top flight game tomorrow (4:30pm).

Back in September 2010, Rob Baxter’s side wasted little time in introducing themselves to English rugby’s top table for the first time. Taking little notice of Gloucester’s proven Premiership credentials, the new kids on the block sounded their future intent by bloodying the nose of their rivals, claiming a memorable 22-10 success at...

Exeter City at home to start the New Year

Match preview: Exeter City v Accrington Stanley

It was only recently that the Exeter City and Accrington Stanley met at the Crown Ground in Sky Bet League 2, with the Grecians 3-2 winners that evening.

Five weeks on, the teams meet again – this time in front of the St James Park crowd for the inaugural game of 2015. With two home clean-sheets on the bounce, City will be aiming to secure a third and using that as a base for victory.

The congested Christmas period was somewhat lessened for Stanley, who didn’t have a fixture last Sunday after their home tie against...

Chiefs v Gloucester is a sell-out

Exeter Chiefs officials can confirm that Saturday's Aviva Premiership clash with Gloucester is now sold out.

The last few remaining tickets were sold today and mean the redeveloped Sandy Park is set for it's first-ever capacity crowd.

Over 12,500 spectators are expected to pack into the Exeter venue for the first game of the New Year.

Supporters are advised to arrive early for the fixture, which will kick-off at the later time of 4:30pm due to the game being shown live on BT Sport.

Team news for both sides ahead of the game will be published from 12 noon on...

Jess wants to start New Year on a high

Matt Jess wants Exeter Chiefs to kick-start the New Year with a bang as they play host to Gloucester in their latest Aviva Premiership encounter at Sandy Park on Saturday (4:30pm).

Having seen a sparkling 2014 lose a semblance of it's fizz with back-to-back defeats against Sale Sharks and Bath Rugby, Rob Baxter's side are hoping a return to home comforts this weekend will give them the perfect pick-me-up.

Sitting fourth in the standings at the halfway stage and top of both their European and LV= Cup pools, the long-serving Chiefs winger insists there is plenty to be...

Rugby trio represent UK fire service

Three members of staff from Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service have played for the UK Fire Service Women's Rugby team.

Kezia Lee (winger) is a retained firefighter at Crownhill, Caitlin Short (fly half) is Senior Technical Assets Admin Assistant at Service Headquarters, Exeter, and Bethan Ayling (centre) is a retained firefighter at Tavistock.

They took on the Army Ladies squad for the first time at Imber Court, London, earlier this month with a weakened side due to some international players missing due to injuries.

At half-time, the UK Fire Service...

Mumm demands response from Chiefs

Skipper Dean Mumm says it’s only right that the Exeter Chiefs put pressure on themselves ahead of Saturday’s Aviva Premiership encounter with Gloucester at Sandy Park (4.30pm).

Saturday’s 31-14 loss at local rivals Bath meant it was successive defeats for Rob Baxter’s side over the festive period - and Mumm knows it won’t get any easier for him and his team-mates with the Cherry & Whites next on the agenda.

That said, a return to home comforts will be most welcome for the Devon club, who back in September claimed one of their seven league victories this season when they...

New Year’s Day racing at Exeter Racecourse

Exeter Racecourse looks set to share in jump racing’s success story with pre-sales for its traditional New Year’s Day meeting ahead of its last January 1 fixture in 2012.

Both Premier and Grandstand & Paddock tickets have seen strong pre-sales. There has also been a recent swathe of abandonments due to frosty conditions, and with temperatures set to rise in time for Thursday’s fixture the racecourse is expecting an exceptional turnout.

Spokesman Jade Walters said: “Racing on Haldon Hill is such a tradition in Devon that nowadays everyone seems to head up the hill to...

Exeter Chiefs deafeted at The Rec

When push came to shove, it was Bath who emerged triumphant in a pulsating Aviva Premiership encounter with Exeter Chiefs at the Recreation Ground.

With little to choose between either side for much of the game, it was Mike Ford’s gladiators who ultimately prevailed in the famous Roman City.

Tries from international stars Horacio Agulla, Kyle Eastmond, Dave Attwood and Anthony Watson were the key highlights, whilst a further 11 points from the boot of England ace George Ford brought the curtain down on the stubborn Exeter resistance.

The Chiefs, to their credit,...
