My Official £50-£46,000 betting challenge

I think the best way to do it is to split your stake, or to take some out at different stages, so you have some 'banked'. I cant imagine any sane person would put £45,000 onto a 1.02 bet knowing that if it lost you'd have nothing to show for your efforts.

Hardly any 1.02-1.03 prices before the off. Usually just in-play.

Football is the best. You can decent 1.02's before the off. Sometimes more. For example, Liverpool play Newcastle on Friday. This fixture always and I mean always has goals.

The price for 1 or more goals is 1.07. That's 5 MORE points than 1.02. So in theory, if you bet on that game, you could do your entire 3 bets in one bet. Although you would be breaking the 1.02 rule. If it came in, great. But if not, you would be kicking yourself.

All you want is one goal. Nailed on imo.

Any match with Demba Ba playing is guaranteed goals... absolute beast!!!

Will be interesting to see how far you get with this!

yeah i know.

Need to stick to what i learned last time - there are real 1.03 bets and then silly 1.03 bets.

A favourite last time was under 6.5 goals in most games before kick off was 1.03/1.02 etc - did well on that.

Edit - christ 2-2 in the 90th!

2-2

I was watching that and nearly stuck £5 on Hong Kong at 1.04 but then I saw the score at 2-1

Should have stuck it on a draw at 7/1

bet 1 done for the day

i hope you do it

Noble-Kebab · 28 Dec 2011 at 18:11

you've started off badly considering 1.02 is not 99%

Can anyone work out the odds of getting 300 bets right consecutively at odds of 1.02?
