RomfordPele Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've seen a few of these challenges and thought I would given it a go myself. Rules are fairly simple: Starting bank of £10 Entire bank going on each selection 1 selection (researched) per day Odds in the region of 1.1 (1/10). Using Betfair as I may need to let the bet go in-running to get the desired odds. It's only a bit of fun really, just want to see how far it can go. If I can do 73 in a row then that would be £10k so let's aim high Bet 1 - Monaco v Fenerbahce @ 1.11 (odds currently 1.09 so waiting for in play) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittle Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Not a big target really but it is if you're sticking around the 1.1 mark. That makes it harder. Done these over the last ten years, but 1.08 is about as high as I seem to go. I never really bother about price, just want to pile up the consecutive numbers. £10 start keeps any pressure off. Hopefully that pressure will come later on in the run. Enjoy. Keep an eye on the rules for posting 'in play' bets on this section.

RomfordPele Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks for your reply Skittle. Finger's crossed for a good run! As far as my in-play bets are concerned, they will always be placed on Betfair before the match goes in running and I will set them for "keep at in-play". They will therefore get matched assuming there is no early goal. If there is then I will be looking for a different selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomfordPele Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks Jds, it will be interesting to see how it goes to be honest.
