Born out of the "Easy Come, Easy Go" thread, an attempt at a Glory Hunt in a pack!
The participants are (in the following order):
1 - @Skittle
2 - @kaiserchris85
3 - @harry_rag
4 - @glennhughes
Basic premise, place a bet in turn rolling the stake over until doubled, bank then go again. Repeat until millionaires, bored or the whole thing grinds to an acrimonious halt.
Rules and reg's, such as they are:
Start bank £100 and first stake £10. Roll it over until doubled then bank. Next stake is 10% of bank subject to £10 minimum. No in-play bets. Bets to be posted at least half an hour ahead of start time. (Bets between innings, rounds or day's play are allowed subject to the half hour minimum ahead of the re-start.) Exchange bets only. Minimum odds 1.01, no lay bets. When it's your turn, post your bet with stake and odds and then update with result and new bank total (allowing for commission). Next up can place a bet as soon as the previous one is settled. Ideally next bet should be posted the same or next day. if anyone fails to post a bet by the end of the next day then the next person is free to take their turn. (Aim is for at least one bet most days.) -

Ok, we start Friday (start of the month) and as we stand there will be four of us. I'll start a thread in time but in the meantime here's what we go with unless anyone wants to counter beforehand (I'm not dictating the terms, just steering the ship).
Thread title - "Your Turn, My Turn" doesn't really matter and can be changed later anyway. The title of this thread is a Grant McLennan song and I've gone with a Go-Betweens song (the band he was in). It's better than the Chuckle Brothers evoking "To me, to you". Order - I'll draw at random and post in the thread. be ready to go on Friday. Odds allowed - anything from 1.01 upwards. Common sense dictates we'll be playing at long odds on. Bets allowed - I'm going to say exchange only but I'm open to allowing bets with bookies if there's a consensus on that. I just think it makes it easier for us all to be on any of the bets should we so wish. Let's stick to back bets to avoid anything fiddly stakes wise. No in-play bets, bets to be posted at least half an hour ahead of the off time. (So bets between innings and rounds could be allowed if they satisfy the half hour criteria) Post your bet with stake and odds and update with result and new bank total (allowing for commission) Next up can place a bet as soon as the previous one is settled. Ideally next bet should be posted the same or next day. if someone fails to post a bet by the end of the next day then the next person is free to take their turn. (Should ensure that we generally stick to a minimum of a bet per day) Start bank £100 and first stake £10. Roll it over until doubled then bank. Next stake is 10% of bank but £10 minimum (might as well try and build the bank with a bit of compounding). As I say, we go on Friday. Any opinions on what I've said above then let us know, same if you think there's anything I've not covered that needs to be. It's not rocket science and I'm sure we can tweak things on the go if needed.

I believe there were 5 of us who contributed which is probably all of the active “Glory Hunters” in the traditional sense (there are a few others at bigger prices or lesser bet frequency). I’ve got an idea for something we could try that might work, I’ll post when I get a bit of time. Busy weekend so might be a couple of days but could play into a 1st of the month start if there’s sufficient interest.

To show how easy ( or not ) it actually is to make a profit on a 'system' ( as such ).
.....and because it's fairly simple, we'll use the 'one goal' system.
At random most days I'll put up a list or league of games to choose from and the bet will be the first person who comes on to pick a number which will be the bet..
Could be fun. We'll start with a tenner and see where we get to........All profits to the bank of Skittle. 😁
Huddersfield - Sunderland
Plymouth - Coventry
Preston - Middlesbrough
Stoke - QPR
Millwall - Ipswich
Lazio - Bayern Munich
PSG - Real Sociedad
Pick a number.....1-7, in order, it's your choice.
Bet 1 will be ........................

Bets 630 & 631 are same again in Spurs v Villa
Markets only just up for the last 3 Prem games of the weekend and matched on this pretty much right away. Might be more to be matched should anyone be inclined to try their luck.
