Torque Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) There's about 50 days until Christmas, so I'm going to start with £100 today and force myself to bet my bank on one bet each day until Christmas at odds of no less than 1.11. I'll be using the exchanges for this and so commission will apply. Statistically there's a less than one percent chance of success, but as some consider Christmas to be a time of miracles then who knows - realistically though it'll just be a question of how quickly I hit a loser. Still, in life sometimes it's the journey that counts rather than the destination and I'm keen to see how this approach fares. Most of the time I'm very slow and deliberate with this type of hunt, believing that to be the best strategy, but I suspect in reality that's just wishful thinking and you're as likely to hit a loser that way as you are if you're indiscriminate about the bets you place - ultimately all short odds are short for a reason. Anyway, let's see how far I get Edited December 13, 2019 by Torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtc12 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 @Torque How do you calculate what you would have in your bank after say 20 days ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 @Xtc12 If you keep multiplying your starting stake by the decimal odds - so in this case it's 100 x 1.1 x 1.1 x 1.1 etc. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
