    I'm sure we've all seen people attempt this many times before and fail. The question is: can it be done?

    The aim is to start with €10 and by backing 73 consecutive 1.10 shots, rolling over your stake each time, you will have over €10,000. It sounds simple but unfortunately it's not that easy.

    I'm going to give it a go anyway. I've tried it a few times before but I always make too many bets at the beginning and lose it eventually as it can feel like you are getting nowhere at the beginning of the challenge. Patience isn't one of my strong points, but I will be limiting myself to 4 bets a day.

    First two bets will be posted shortly.

    Vamos a hacer esto.

    Very disappointing. Terrible to fall at the first hurdle. :o

    Going to give this another go in the coming weeks.

    Nos vemos entonces.

    I've found that the +1.5 goal line is the only one to try this with. Even then you'll have some scary moments!

    Check the top goalscorers lists - back the teams who have players near the top of that list when at home, back ELP, German Bundesliga games and Northern Ireland
