Spread Betting Sells (90 day hunt)

[harry_rag]

For the sheer fun of it! All bets will be spread betting sells that look "particularly interesting" (as opposed to more "routine" bets). So a sample of my actual bets and all carrying real money (level stakes).

For the purpose of the thread I'm starting with a bank of 500 points and continuing until the bank is exhausted or tripled, or I run out of days! (90 days from today takes us up to 22nd January.)

Starting stake is 1 point. When the bank reaches 600 points stakes will increase to 1.1 points (think £1 rising to £1.10). Stakes stay at that level until bank reaches 700 points (increase to 1.2 points) or falls back to 500 points (revert to 1 point). And so on when bank grows or falls back to a 100 point threshold.

Obviously you're all perfectly familiar with the concept of spread betting so I'll just crack on. the first bet is a sell of Montpellier hotshots for 1 point at 56 as posted already in the RU thread. So far I've posted 7 "interesting" bets in there with 6 winning for an overall profit of 117 points. I'm not sure I can maintain that sort of strike rate in here but I'm pretty sure that the bank should survive the 90 days and it's perhaps a shade odds on to finish up rather than down. Past results suggest that tripling the bank is a stretch, but more likely than losing it.

Over the pond now for a couple of sells of player touch down minutes in tonight's NFL games. I've sold 5 players in total but these 2 look strong enough to put up in here.

Sell Derrick Henry TD minutes for 1 point at 30 with SPIN (Tennessee Titans)

Sell Chris Carson TD minutes for 1 point at 30 with SPIN (Seattle Seahawks)

Player touchdown minutes are the aggregate time of all touchdowns scored by the player in question so I'm hoping they either don't score one or do so very early on then take the rest of the night off! A last quarter hat trick is the costly and unwanted outcome.
