My Official £50-£46,000 betting challenge

[One More Solo]

Up to £67.46 now, today I had:

Verona v Modena under 3.5 goals at 1.05 (30 secs to play)
Wycombe v Huddersfield, Huddersfield to win at 3-0 at 1.02
Setubal v Academica under 2.5 goals at 1.02 (bet matched as the ref blew the whistle)

Missed the two bets I had intended to put in with the Wycombe and Liverpool games to be over 0.5 but never mind, plenty of games this weekend.

Day 8: £54 (+2.84%)

 

[AndrewNR]

5.96 now (started at 5.00).

Bet full amounts on:
Newcastle to beat Manchester United when they were 2-0 up (1/12 odds).
Liverpool to beat Oldham before game started (1/10 odds).

Probably blow it all on the F.A Cup tomorrow.

Doing it for fun, money is a bonus.

Here's me after a few days.

Just realised I put £10 on my last bet and not the whole stack but i'm up £1.07 overall!

Tis a marathon not a sprint.

 

[booyaka]

phew - saw 3-1 in the liverpool game after 89 mins - thought - great job done.

Just checked and that was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to close.

Anyway Day 10 done - over 50% increase in bank now.

 

[Twinblade]

Now at £19.99 after over 1 goal in the Verona and Liverpool games today, and having backed Monfis earlier in the day.

 

[One More Solo]

Going for 1 goal or more in Brum v Wolves at 1.09.

 

[willems]

fleetwood vs blackpool i think over 0.5

 

[booyaka]

under 4.5 goals in Brum v Wolves game - £15.05 on @ 1.03

Going for 1 goal or more in Brum v Wolves at 1.09.

I cant see this in betfairs market, where are you betting this??

 

[One More Solo]

Look for Total Goals, it's at 1.3x now. I backed it around 1.15.

Liverpool to beat Oldham before game started (1/10 odds).

Ok not sure I can be bothered to carry on with small returns so went for (Birmingham V Wolves):
£1.96 on > 0.5 goals.
£2.00 on both teams not scoring.
£2.00 on a Wolves win.

So unless Wolves win 1-0, 2-0 etc I have a loser amongst them!
Good return if Wolves do win though (11/4).

**edit** I think if your going to do this for long-term gain you need to bite the bullet and start with a decent pot of around £200+.

I don't have the balls to do that!

My God, Ebanks-Blake is ****.

Edit: I'm out, two useless teams on show there. Thought I had it when Jarvis hit the post at the end though.

0-0 result - good for me - not good for others!!

Always a low scoring game and I find it easier to concentrate on bets that are winning at the start (i.e under 4.5 or 5.5 goals) as the game always starts 0-0, than to start with a bet that is "not" winning at the start - i.e 1 goal or more.

That's usually my feeling too but the stats were very much in favour of one goal or more. There'd always been goals in their recent games and neither side had had a goalless match in their last ten.

Only bet that came in was my bet on both teams not scoring. So after a £5.96 stake I was down to £2.50. Thought i'd waste it on the fruit machines, but got back upto £3.50.

Put that on Tottenham to win (which they did).

Now put £4.20 Real Madrid to win their game at 1/16.

This time tomorrow i'll be back where I started!

PHP code formatting looks the best, not sure how to align them properly without uploading a print screen of my spreadsheet?

Just waiting for Siena v Lazio to finish under 7 goals then going to put some on bristol v villa.
