A bit of fun, starting with a tenner find a game every day (if possible) with a +1.5 goals bet and try to keep it going for 30 days. Typical odds on PP are about 1.30 for such a bet and 30 successful bets will reach about 26k.

Can it be done?

dotsflan · 24-01-2009 3:16pm

i think ill take you up on your challenge mike!! just for a bit of craic! im starting with my tenner on sunderland v blackburn over 1.5 @ 1.37 on betf:P

mike65 · 24-01-2009 3:56pm

Doncaster v Aston Villa +1.5 @1.28

Bobeagleburger · 24-01-2009 4:10pm

Good thread, gonna take part too.

Will stick it on utd/spurs. Not sure of odds as at work and betfair etc blocked:mad:

mike65 · 24-01-2009 4:53pm

Typical, neither game has a goal to its name.

Pfft! :rolleyes: Start again tomorrow.

dotsflan · 24-01-2009 5:55pm

are we allowed a second chance!!! lol:(:(

mike65 · 24-01-2009 8:10pm

Don't see why not!

Bobeagleburger · 24-01-2009 8:31pm

Im still in, putting it on Barca match at 9pm.odds are 1.14 though:eek:

dotsflan · 24-01-2009 9:22pm

fair play rarnes would of been embarrassing if all 3 of us had gone at the first attempt!!:D

Bobeagleburger · 25-01-2009 12:03am

That one was easy, thats 2 down ! 14,50 in the kitty, cardiff-arsenal looks the bet tomor;)

mike65 · 25-01-2009 11:44am

FC Groningen v Ajax @1.14

Still if it wins I'm on my way!

dotsflan · 25-01-2009 12:04pm

well im afraid ive had to copy rarnes today as im not an expert on foreign football ive decided to stick with the english games and have gone for over 1.5 in the cardiff v arsenal game @ 1.32 hopefully this will get me kickstarted:o

SteelyDanJalapeno · 25-01-2009 3:50pm

Cashed in on barca last night for over 1.5, so i'm gonna throw mine on liverpool v everton today, 13.64 on potential returns of 19.10,

mike65 · 25-01-2009 4:04pm

Still 1-0

dotsflan · 25-01-2009 4:25pm

we're not very good at this!! cant pick one never mind 30:p

Bobeagleburger · 25-01-2009 8:11pm

Thats that experiment finished with !

Maybe we would be better picking games with less than 1.5 goals :pac:

mike65 · 25-01-2009 8:24pm

Heh! Ajax not scoring is almost unheard of. A 0-0 in your game was why I didn't do it - reckoned it would be tight

corban · 26-01-2009 6:03pm

burton v barrow over 1.5 1/5.......

stevood · 26-01-2009 6:19pm

Like this bet. Will start today. Just looking at the home and away form of the teams and their scoring and defence records. This is very do able.

Barrow match tonight. Hope there's not egg on my face tomorrow after being so confident

notts forrest v sheff wed over 1.5 1/3

mike65 · 27-01-2009 12:46pm

yay! I was wating for tonight before getting back on the wagon.

Might go Reading/Wolves or WBA/Man Utd.

stevood · 27-01-2009 4:11pm

Notts forest are a good bet tonight. Playing shef wed.

They score and conceed a lot. Wednesday can do the same. 1/3

Stoke and spurs are also another that have goals in their games.

however my banker for tonight is leeds. 26 out of their last 28 games have had 2 or more goals. 2/9

I hope your bets come in but forest score a lot? thay have scored 12 goals in 14 matches @ home in the league and wed have scored 11 in 14 away games. I wouldn't touch it based on this.

stevood · 27-01-2009 7:26pm

What I mean is they are both involved in matches where there are goals.

Forest's last 3 results were 2 2-nil wins and a 3-2 win. Thats 7 goals in 3 matches with an average of 3 goals per game (bet requires 2). Wednesday have consistantly had 2 goals in each match for the past 5 games. Their last match they won 4-1

I know its a bit of fun but please get you facts right before you take one glance at a league table and come up with these statements

Bet its a nil all draw now after that rant

I like it! I started last night with United at 1/4...only put €1 on though because I'm a poor student and can't afford to lose €70 any week :P

stevood · 28-01-2009 10:51am

On 5 at the moment. 30 more to go

Just realised if you do get far, you will be putting thousands on 1 game. To get to €30,000 you will be putting €24,000 on the last game!

Love to be in the situation but not sure I would have the stones if it came to it

Any Thoughts?
