    Add a Zero thread part deux , I have taken cson idea and decided to start my own challenge for myself.

    I started my account with 100 Euro myself and after a nice win last night it is now up to currently 230euro , so the challenge is to make at least 100 Euro a week until Xmas. I think its very possible.

    Now I'm not here to tell people my tips or recommendations on gambling , this is just a log for me to look back on.

    Please feel free to comment and offer constructive criticism , my add zero thread will only consist of football gambling.

    Thanks Sarge

    Edit 1 : Some days I'll bet other days I wont depending on how i fancy a team , I'm not just going to bet when ever it comes up.
    Already I have passed my first weeks expectations.

    Cheers thanks a million. I'm going to use this as more of a log on my betting anywhere and see how I get on with it.

    I shall probably have all the money gone by next week anyway :D

    I'm also doing this! Started on Saturday with E130, up to E440 tonight, betting only on tennis and the occasional footy.

    Not gonna start a thread with tips and results though, I just know the second I do that it's gonna go tits up!

    Good luck to everybody doing this, and cheers to cson for the original idea! ;)

    Not meanin to start an argument, but the way cson is doin it will mean he shouldn't go broke unless he runs very bad - the way you guys are doin it is just pure gambling, like to go from say 130 to 440 in 4 nite from betting on tennis is rid unless your putting a huge % on the bets

    the best way to do the bets is to put a % of your roll on a bet - say 2% or w/e - result you won't go broke - you might not make good money for a while but in the long term this is the best strategy,

    fair enough i may not be one to give advice - after the all the spun 300 quid to 3k in 1 day by betting - blew it just as quick (hence i'm in "rehab" so to speak)

    but best of luck with it

    I understand the theory around the original idea and of course cson thread. I just decided to make a log on my betting over the next number of weeks in the hope of adding a zero. I look for value when betting on the football market , and I'm not afraid to lump onto teams. That's what gambling is all about to me anyway. Its the sweat you get ;)

    Again , I'm just going to use this thread to track my football betting in the number of weeks.

    Okay Tonights bet is a single bet :

    Real Union vs Real Madrid - Copa Del Rey | Thursday, 30th October 2008, 2100 CET

    Real Madrid -1 @ 4/6 €25

    balance is 225 before this bet.


    I fancy Dundalk to bet Limerick tonight at home @ 8/15 but have decided to stay clear as i want to enjoy watching the match tonight.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,687 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Yeah, I have Dundalk/Real Madrid. But, I know I shouldn't have put money on Dundalk because they will probably lose now and it would ruin my night at Oriel!!:mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,220 ✭✭✭20 Times 20 Times


    Update : just got team news for both teams in the dundalk game and @ 8/15 i have 100 on dundalk to win. Hopefully we don't bottle it again like recent years.

    so the two bets i have done today

    real madrid - 1 to beat real union @4/6 €25
    Dundalk to beat Limerick37 @ 8/15 €100

    balance after bets is €100 (back to square one :) )


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,220 ✭✭✭20 Times 20 Times


    Neither bet came in tonight , very disappointing day today , will need to study the market for the premiership on Saturday. I shall do my usual two team double @ 50

    Yep I fell for that one also :( I should have taken more note of Real Union's recent form and taken into account that the two teams meet eachother in Madrid in a few weeks (not a knockout for Madrid). you live and learn :/
