Longtimereader Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi all I’ve read this forum for a while but never posted so please be gentle! I think this is the most appropriate section for my post, but happy for it to be moved. Ive often wondered about two things about how to ‘win’ when betting (football). The first is a small percentage returns process. For example, how many times in a row could you win a bet that is 1/5. I have calculated if you started with £50 and aimed to return 20% profit each bet, you’d be up to near a couple of thousand if you could do is for 20 times or so. Of course if you lose, you’d be wiped out. The other one is doubling up on evens (like the nightengale roulette system). So for example you bet £10 at evens. If you lose, you bet £20 on an evens, doubling it up each time if you lose. Is that a good way to go? appreciate any thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an out and out losing method, I'd sway you massively away from that. If you use the search tool, you'll see it's been heavily discussed and quite heated from what I remember.

moggis Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The nightingale system is the best system for most people. Only bet when you hear a nightingale singing . (Doesn’t need to be in Berkeley Square) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
