  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,303 ✭✭✭Lasagna Diarra


    Good luck but do you know Szczesny is doubtful for this game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    Good luck but do you know Szczesny is doubtful for this game?

    no i wasunt aware u think arsenal might get bet im also looking at barcelona to win real madrid to win man city +2 ac milan or draw if malaga see it through got all night to think about it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭OnTheCounter


    Whats the target amount?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    ffs malaga have completly dominated losing 1-0 foul in the build up that the ref let go ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    Whats the target amount?

    the intended target is £10,000 if u follow the challenge by the book its supposed to be 73 bets at odds of 1/10 i have mixed the odds up a little personally if i hit 1 thousand pound i think il bottle and withdraw it but its somethink to keep me occupied just requires patience

    It is definitely not as safe as your other bets (team X to score a goal) especially if Arsenal are missing Koscielny & Szczesny. Anyway I'm curious to see how far you can go with this system :)

    looks like it will come to an end tonight tbh malaga just cant break through mallorca


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    YESSS 1-1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    if i get away with it tonight then im lucky need to play it safer now if i breach the 100 pound mark aslong as malaga hold on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    i think man city +2 looks decent 1/10 cant see liverpool winning by two goals


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    rangers avaible at 1/7 but im not convinced by them after the peterhead debarcle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    that will do thanks malaga


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    for bet 14 im looking at

    rangers to win1/7
    arsenal to score a goal 1/5
    man city or draw 4/11
    man city +2 1/10
    barcelona win 1/5
    real madrid 2/7
    ac milan or draw 1/10
    valencia or draw 1/10

    Good luck looks good fun that, you should probably bank at 1 grand though if you get that far, if you lost after that you'd be raging.

    Might try something similar. I'd go for Rangers if it were my money.

    i think if i hit a grand il bank half

    decided bet 14

    berwick rangers v rangers

    rangers to win
    odds 13/100 stake £103.55 returns £117.01


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 430 ✭✭OnTheCounter


    Another suggestion

    sport recife match (brazil) under 4.5 goals


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom

    Lesson learned here I think, Rangers are not to be trusted away. (Double chance on the opposition once Rangers go a goal up might be a way to go this year)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,280 ✭✭✭jArgHA


    Hard luck on bombing out.. I have tried a similar approach a few times (currently have worked 10e up to 76e on similar priced markets) but I usually bomb out early enough. I did manage to get to around 280e at one stage before losing the bank.

    What strikes me though is that any time I try this approach, even if using very short prices such as 1.04 (which equates to around 25/1) it seems to me that the bet comes very close to losing quite a number of times, and that it might be a better approach to be laying the 1.04's and expecting more than one to come through in 25 attempts.

    For example, if a match was at 1-1 after 72minutes, and Under 4.5 Goals was available at 1.04 or thereabouts, then Lay at 1.05, and with sensible selections maybe this will pay out a profit for say every 15 attempts... This is speculative of course, but is an approach I might try myself, rather than hanging on for dear life with a 1.05 bet which almost blows up. Of course this approach would be slowww... it would require more time to actually get a return and a larger starting bank...

    bet 1

    mardy fish v soeda

    Been backing doubles and trebles today in the tennis with 1/25s,1/33s and 1/100s its actually surprising how much you sweat over these untouchable odds.

    tomsk to win
    odds 7/20 stake £24.69 returns £33.33

    Was just looking at that myself :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,905 ✭✭✭Avfctom


    Was just looking at that myself :D

    nice price think its worth it i dont like sticking to 1/10 or around that mark because thats all u look for then sometimes pick a bet for the sake of it as in its 1/10 it surely cant lose so i look for a decent bet do a bit of research hopefully be a good bet considering i was very lucky with cillic last night and that was a back for the odds defintley need to rethink my stratergy in the long run

    im also thinking about starting another challenge but being patient only one bet a day at 1/10 with proper research as it would take 73 days to reach £10,000 not bad for just over two months work lol
