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?

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?

stevood, well from the original post it appears you are gonna have to slow down to one selection a day, for 30 days......

i'm a stickler for the rules

NabyLadistheman · 28-01-2009 12:29pm

To hell with waiting around why not just pick 30 matches over a weekends in all leagues and stick a 10er on the accum

I wouldn't have the patience for one a day. If I can see 5 matches in one day thats what i'll do.
Tonight I might go with Hull/West Ham Game. Both can score and definitely concede. Don't fancy much after that. Maybe Celtic!

If you go through the stats of a weekend football card, picking 30 matches with 2 or more goals is very difficult. I reckon no more than 7 on one day but 4 is more realistic.

Good Luck with that tho. Love to hear a success story!!

Last nights Championship programme was missing only one tie (which is tonight) and all but two scored two or more goals. Of course avoiding the two is the problem.

Yeah totally agree but if you include all the foreign leagues also using their lower divisions you have a wealth of games to choose from at the weekends. Might be a bit of fun for a few of us to pick maybe 15-20 matches each over the weekend and give it a go.

mike65 · 28-01-2009 1:05pm

corban, last night I picked the Leceister game! 0-0 :eek: That tells you everything about my luck at the moment. So I think I may wait a while or bet on Wigan to win

The lower leagues do have weaker defences and therefore concede more goals. I'm going to pick 20 this weekend for a punt. I'll post them Friday nite!

Best of luck

i was thinking the same... to be honest if i got near 1k id be happy and might empty the account. but you have to look at it as a 10euro bet!! it seems so easy... 30 games more then 1.5 goal......

I'll prob give it a go too for a laugh myself. I think mixing it with under 3.5/4.5 for games you don't think will have goals may make it easier to find good matches to back.

Yup, I'm a student and I'm not too conviced that this little experiment is going to work, so instead of throwing in a tenner every couple of days, it will just be a euro for me...sorry to disappoint you!

At 1.3, I'd only need 9 bets to get up to a tenner anyway

mike65 · 30-01-2009 12:44pm

Sure if it works you'll still get there sooner or later.

LOL A EURO!!
sorry to laugh but.... how much will that make you, lets say you do get 30??

From the odds I'm betting at, about €216.80 (starting at €1 leaves me about 8 bets behind) and for every 4 bets after it approximately doubles, laugh all you want...It's far more likely for me to lose €70 in a week, starting of with a tenner each time than it is for any of us to get a 30/40/50 bet accum!

dotsflan · 30-01-2009 1:00pm

is PP the only bookie that offers over/under 1.5 goals in most matches??
