SpiritOf67 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hi folks, saw this been done to good effect on another forum I frequent and on here before so gonna give it a go. Basically will be using Betfair to bet on 1 goal or more being scored in certain games. Starting with £20 and going to see how it goes. Bet 1) Atletico Madrid v Sporting Gijon- 1 goal or more @ 1.05 £20.00 to win £1.00 :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaymore79 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Re: Spirits 1 goal or more Betfair Challenge Tried this a few times for a laugh. Usual odds are around 1.08, and the challenge, as I read it, was to get to £1000, all in every time. I did a spreadsheet, it takes about 54 bets IIRC, depending on odds and commission of course. Good luck, I've managed about 12 in a row myself before picking a 0-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, I've managed about 12 in a row myself before picking a 0-0. 54 doesn't sound much or even around 60, obviously the hope is to take teams who can score / or are leaky, saw Inter drew 0-0 tonight but Italian football and any team managed by Benitez would be a no no, see how it goes anyway.

Skittle Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Re: Spirits 1 goal or more Betfair Challenge Hitting 50 plus is a lot harder than it sounds. Not that many managed it on the old Betfair forum thread if you ever saw it. There was a record of 72 which stood for about a year and then an 84 beat it. About a year later there was a better run but it was questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newestpunter Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Re: Spirits 1 goal or more Betfair Challenge if i am honest imo hitting 50+ is easy only if you know how the way to hit 50+ is to follow high scoring teams such as barca, real madrid, man utd, chelsea, arsenal. ajax its not the games involivng those high scoring teams that trip people up, its the millwalls, the wycombes, the sheff utds keep that in mind and you'll be there in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i can get up a bit, will need to choose more carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
