I know nothing of betting and such, so this is all just sticking a pin type stuff:
20 Bs Draw*
25 Bs 0 or 1
55 Bs Draw/Ox*
TB: 5432
*I'm aware of the contradiction between the first and third bet, but this is all about maximising the possibilities, innit.

Nice try!
I was tempted to give you some very difficult multiples to work out from the odds given, but given that you would almost certainly bottle it and say I hadn't betted on given odds, I'll bet:
Result:
1B on Kettering win
Total goals:
1B on 2 or 3 goals
Half time:
1B on draw/Ox
I'll keep my remaining 97B's for a better investment.

I make it Oxford James with a profit of 113 Boris's giving him a total fortune of 213.
No one else close.

OJ ends up with 203, not 213, and Geoff came reasonably close with 187, not that it changes the result, but accuracy is everything!!

He doesn't have a total of 213, as his last best is lost. He has a total of 193. Not that it probably makes a difference to the result.
30 bet on the draw at 13/5 = 78 B's winnings || 30 stake back = 108.
50 bet on 2 or 3 goals at 10/11 = 45 B's winnings || 50 stake back = 95.
108 || 95 = 203 so we're both wrong
However as you say doesn't effect the result.

Quite agree.
