€10 to €10,000. Why not?

ForeverX

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 - it's only €10 so I can't see any reason not to give this a try. The maximum number of bets I will make in one day is 2, as I do not want to be making bets just for the sake of it.

I will post my first bet shortly.

A few notes to make.
You mentioned fail; this is what the bookies want you to do in this challange so you must change the terms to give you whatever advantage you can take to acheive your aim which is reach 10000 from 10.
I would suggest that when you reach €50 reduce the bet to €20 in effect banking €30.
Then when you reach €100 reduce your bet to €50 banking €50 total banked €80.
Continue like this and you will eventually reach your goal of 10000 from 10 on your terms.
Probably most important is to revise the stragedy that you started daily.
Best of luck.
