You're never gonna make any serious money being so conservative - why not choose 8 aways and stick them with your 8 draws.

Firstly obv the bookies are taking an edge on each market and the true odds on a draw in England are prob about 5/2 for a bog standard fixture. This edge extrapolates itself over accumalators making their edge greater.

Anyway 2-1 = 1/3 chance of it happening.

1/3^8 = 1/6561 or 6560/1
