€10 to €1,000 Challenge.

    Have a spare €10 lying around in my Paddy Power account so I have to decided to attempt a challenge to hopefully keep me busy and for a bit of fun.

    Basically, 12 bets at odds or around 1.50 returns over €1,000. It's ambitious and picking 12 winners in a row will be extremely difficult, but I'm willing to give it a go anyway.

    Patience has often been a problem of mine so I am hoping that having this log will force me to slow down and think about my bets a little more.

    I'll be posting my first bet shortly.

    Ooh Rah!

    Bet 1 is a winner, there was no runs in the 2nd innings, helped by two double plays.

    Bet 2.
    Men's Wimbledon, 1st Round.
    Julian Reister vs. Lukas Rosol.
    Lukas Rosol to win.
    €15.71 @1.40.

    Rosol lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-7, 7-6, 4-6.

    Extremely disappointing against such a low ranked player. Wasted way too many break points and his 2nd serve was terrible.

    No offence fella but you have no chance with that strategy. You may as well do the lotto.

    I know. It's not something I do regularly. I have just had a good run lately so I decided that I could spare €10 and give this a go.

    If you want to do this do it on Football and the +1.5 goals market, and be patient. You'll be looking at 1.15 - 1.25 typically but take your time and you might just make it. Rollovers fail mainly because of impatience (if you go a week or two without betting so what?) and not doing basic things like waiting for the starting line ups.
