€150 per month -> €10,000 challenge

[turbobaby]

Hello all!

I am back again with my challenge to win big from season long accumulators. I have gone close a good few times down through the years with a target of €25k but I've lowered that to €10k with the hope of getting over the line. I identify season long value priced bets, put them into (usually) a treble and stick €150 on it with the hope of winning about €10,000.

With the November deposit of €150 I had to go with Betfair Sportsbook as that's where I found some value.

It seems they have low maximums or my account is limited and I had to split my bet into three. So here are the selections:

Nov Treble

1. Preston Top 6 finish (4K) / QPR Relegation (4K) / Pardew next sacked (2K)

2. Scunthorpe L1 winners

3. Napoli Top 3 Finish

Posting from my phone now so I will add the odds when I next post an update.

Ok, so it's time for a little update for this challenge. I'm posting from a PC now so can also break down the bets so it's clearer...

I watched the Crystal Palace meltdown against Swansea on Soccer Saturday. Superb!

Well two out of these are going well! Especially the lowest value one after the 9/1 shot Pardew got the sack. That price was too good

QPR struggling badly under Holloway so thats the other one looking good. Hoping for a nice few results now for Preston over the yuletide period... Here are the updated odds.

• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 4.33

Part 2

• QPR relegation @ 10.0 -> 3.75
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 4.33
• Napoli Top 3 finish @ 1.66 -> 1.4

Part 3

• Pardew next sacked @ 9.0 -> WIN
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 4.33

After a very busy Christmas and early January with work, I didnt have much time to think about this Glory Hunt, but I am back to update the odds and give my January selections First an update of the odds... Pretty good anyway!

November Part 1

• Preston Top 6 finish @ 11.0 -> 15.0
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 3.0
• Napoli Top 3 finish @ 1.66 -> 1.45

Part 2

• QPR relegation @ 10.0 -> 9.0
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 3.0
• Napoli Top 3 finish @ 1.66 -> 1.45

Part 3

• Pardew next sacked @ 9.0 -> WIN
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 3.0
• Napoli Top 3 finish @ 1.66 -> 1.45

Totals:

• Part 1: 73.0 -> 65.25 (€4k)
• Part 2: 66.4 -> 39.15 (€4k)
• Part 3: 59.8 -> 4.35 (€2k)

A huge amount of green there but Preston and QPR are still rank outsiders. I'm at least getting value for money, a trend that I hope continues with these next two accumulators.

January Part 1

• James Vaughan L1 top scorer @ 9.0
• Reading Championship promotion @ 8.5

€74.33 to win €5,684

Part 2

• England Triple Crown winners @ 3.1
• Shaktar Europa League Winners @ 15.0
• Leeds Top 6 finish @ 1.33

€75 to win €4,650

Wish me luck Dad, whoever you are

Ok please bear with me as I update all the odds. All bets still hanging in there but Scunthorpe's poor form is costing me! They are away to league leaders Sheffield United and it's as close to a must win as you can get.

• QPR relegation @ 10.0 -> 7.0
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 8.5

• Pardew next sacked @ 9.0 -> WIN
• Scunthorpe L1 winners @ 4.0 -> 8.5
• Napoli Top 3 finish @ 1.66 -> 1.2

January Part 1

Part 2
