aldric Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Following on from the sucess of 'Player's' thread I have decided to start something very similar. Rules: Starting Bank £300 (real money) 1) Bet on any sport with odds between 1.50 and 2.25. 2) First bet is 5% of bank (£15). When the bank reaches multiples of 100 the first bet of the sequence will be 5% of the new bank (ie £400 bank will give stake of £20) Losing Bets 1) If the first bet of the sequence loses the next bet will be sufficient to win back the initial stake. (eg. If I lose the first bet of £15 the 2nd bet will be placed so that if that bet wins I will return £15.) 2) If 2 losing bets in a row, the 3rd bet will be placed to cover the losses of the previous 2 bets. 3) MAX 3 losing bets and then return to first bet of sequence. Winning Bets 3) If the first bet of the sequence wins then the following bet will be increased by 10%, continue increasing until a losing bet. On losing, return to bet 1 in sequence. 4) If bet 1 and 2 in the sequence lose and the 3rd bet is a winner, then return to the first bet in the sequence. All bets placed at betfair, commission is 4.75%. (unless stated) Rules are subject change. ------------ Bet 1. BDO Champions Trophy (womens hockey) GERMANY v Spain £15 @ 1.78 to return £11.14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Crazy staking! WOW, this looks an interesting staking strategy! And WOW again, your first bet is on women hockey! This one sure beats every "exotic" bet I made in my thread! :rollin A question: does not matter which team is playing home/away, you look just at the odds? An opinion: based on my experience on running my thread for almost 50 bets now, I think because having just such a narrow window between the min-max odds, it will be kind of difficult for you to pick your games. This of course if you'll play the kind of sports and championships I'm betting on too. Good luck! :nana Cheers: Les :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! :nana Cheers: Les :ok Thanks Les, im hoping I can remember what stake to place next, it will keep me going thats for sure! lol.....I never figured I would bet on womens hockey either, however Germany are the Olympic champions and Spain are yet to score a point in the Champions Trophy. (Germany are winning 2-0 with 20 mins left.) I am not too bothered by the sport I am betting on (eg I know very, very little about womens hockey!), I figure the bookies usually get the odds about right, however I will look for form and read up on previews etc. Most teams will be at home given the odds, however I won't be afraid to bet on teams playing away from home if the odds are right. In terms of the odds, most of the games you have been betting on fit my criteria. I know this because I have placed some bets on the 'exotic' ice hockey games for something different.

Znojemssti Orli vs HC Ocelari Trin (Czech Republic ELH) ZNOJMO to WIN £27.47 @ 1.86 to win £22.50 LOL, this is the same bet I made. Have you been inspired by that? (Not that I would say that's wrong, the goal is to make the bookie pay, isn't it? :lol Maybe I will take some plays from you too if I like them, and you'll post in time.) But I see you bet on handicap (-0.5) right? I bet on ML, that's why I have the worst odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldric Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Re: Crazy staking! lol... I didn't know we had bet on the same match... I looked for games starting at 1600-1630hrs GMT and liked the look of that one. I have just bet on them to win in regular time, Betfair didn't have money line odds for that game. :hope for both of us.

LOL Thanks! lol those short odds lose sometimes as well!!! I may review things again if this bet loses :) I still feel that real madrid are a good bet tonight though... Mallorca have only won 1 at home this season. Real have won 6 lost 3 away from home. They will be motivated as a win will see them climbing to the top of the table.
