nosejob Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Start with £20, back odds between 1.95 and 2.05 only, and in 9 bets I reach about £10,000. As here: 20 40 80 160 320 640 1280 2560 5120 10240 Odds will be between 1.95 and 2.05 so I can stick to average odds of evens and therefore reach the target in the correct amount of bets, whilst not having to eliminate bets that are a couple of points off evens. If I lose I start again. I have 500 attempts to make the money before I reach £10,000 spent, I reckon I can do it in 10. :dude I won't bottle it if I reach £5120 stake, but no point discussing that til I reach it. First bet tonight maybe. edit: slight rule change - if I really fancy a bet over the odds of 2.05 then I will place it, but the minimum odds will still be 1.95. Therefore, 9 bets will always be the maximum required to reach the £10,000 target. if a bet is on the AH and I hit the line (stake is returned) then I will void the bet, ie. bet 3 returns stake = next bet will still be bet 3 Attempt 1) Lost on bet 5 (£351.96 reached) Attempt 2) Lost on bet 3 (£94.50 reached) Attempt 3) Lost on bet 1!

BobNL Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Re: £20 - £10,000 in 9 Bets Challenge I guess you are not brave enough to bet 5000 with the last bet, or maybe earlier at 1000. :D Good luck ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheImp Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Re: £20 - £10,000 in 9 Bets Challenge I agree, sounds great in theory but it will take a BRAVE MAN INDEED to bet £5120 down on a bet staked at around those odds! I will literally send you £20 myself over PayPal if you do it, I've said it on here! :rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheImp Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Re: £20 - £10,000 in 9 Bets Challenge Anything for tonight? I'm tempted to join you on your 3rd bet as I'm not anticipating failure THIS early :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosejob Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Re: £20 - £10,000 in 9 Bets Challenge Haha I'll hold you to that :lol Bet 3) Osasuna to beat Sevilla @ 2.2 (William Hill) - £79.99 to win £95.99 - return will be £175.98. You'll see I've edited the rules slightly to allow for odds above the original threshold. That doesn't mean I'm going to just do £20 on 500/1 shots to try and win it in the first bet, it just means that when a bet I fancy is a few points above the evens target I will still take it. I won't take anything below 1.95 though, so I will still stick to my target of £20 to £10000 in 9 bets or less. Here is my progress so far and what the next bets will be with avg. evens odds: 20 40.5 40.5 79.9875 79.9875 175.9725 175.9725 351.945 351.945 703.89 703.89 1407.78 1407.78 2815.56 2815.56 5631.12 5631.12 11262.24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosejob Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Re: £20 - £10,000 in 9 Bets Challenge Wow, didn't get back home until 65 mins, saw the score and thought I was done for... very lucky but Osasuna showed tremendous fighting spirit. This was the last to come up in a 7-leg accumulator too, so double-lcuky result! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosejob Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Re: £20 - £10,000 in 9 Bets Challenge Bet 4) Las Palmas to beat Cartagena @ evs with SJ. £175.98 to return £351.96. Couldn't decide between Las Palmas to win, or over 3.0 goals in Girona v Xerex, I decided on the fact that it's probably better not go down the AH road if possible, because it just adds to the amount of bets required.
