The Crazy College Gamble


ofcourseitwas

Recommended Posts

Hello all, I am a 24 year-old American college student studying abroad in northern Germany. Rather than return home in 2 months, I will take a big risk to pursue my dream of living in Europe... I will track my progress both here and on my blog at www.collegegamble.blogspot.com The Gamble As an adamant football (soccer) supporter, I have been betting on matches for several years. I recently developed an algorithm for choosing which teams to back. I am reasonably confident in its accuracy and will attempt to make enough profit every month to fund an independent lifestyle as I explore Europe (living out of hotel rooms). As of May 2010 my apartment lease in Germany will be up! In hopes of keeping my dream alive I recently made two investments: 1. 8,000$ bankroll (on credit) to bet over the next 2 months. 2. An 800$ return flight should I lose it all. I will either be successful in my pursuit or return home emptyhanded. THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO CALL THIS FOOLISH. BUT TO THEM I SAY... YOU ARE ONLY YOUNG ONCE! Bet Structure With a bankroll of 8,000$, I have deposited into several bookmakers. Some funds have been reserved if better odds are available through another bookmaker. Selections will be on either back or lay, and the odds will be on average around 1.15-1.20 I will bet 10% of the current bank on each selection.* *I changed the bet structure to 10% after the 3rd bet to make this easier to follow.
