just got an email from paddy power and about bet dash that looks really good

you by in for a set amount  say £50  and you are given £100k  in bets you have to turn that £100 k nto £1 million in 10 days!  if you turn it into £1million you get

£1250 back
£900k you get £1k
£800k  you get £750
£700k you get £500


bigger the buy in more up top

buy in you £500 and its £12.5k up top 

They say 24/1 for 100k into 1m.

Why can't I just back 9/1 shots? The website beats me, I clearly don't get something and screw signing up to understand a product.

Maximum bet size is very small compared to bankroll I'd guess.

Need to find a lot of 9/1 winners.

yea Max bet on most is £10k -£15k  guess thats why you have 10 days!!  well i could be fun!  i have spunked my £100k on tonight football

Not enough turnover for me to even try :(

Seems obv now but where is the fun in not being able to have a last ditch arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in!

What is the Bonus Round

Once you achieve the target of £1 Million your prize money is safe; you can blow all of your bankroll, end up completely bankrupt and we still hand you the cash banked at £1 Million. The Bonus Round offers a no-risk, no-rules race to £100 Million, where you can win bigger prizes within the remaining game-time. There are no bet limits in the Bonus Round so you can throw it all on a 100/1 if you’re feeling the itch.

Anyone have any joy with this game?  Obv I know the guys who run it, but thought it was pretty entertaining when we were doing beta testing on it.

Doesn't really feel like the sort of thing a "proper" punter would get into, but quite liked the awards etc. and the way you could give mates the rubdown on their terrible bets :)

Clever idea but absolutely no value basically.  Assuming you could find bets with a 10% edge you would have to find 1k of them in ten days to theoretically be able to make the amount needed.  The time limit makes it very, very difficult to do.  of course you could get lucky and, possibly, if for example, you knew of a horse that was 100/1 that would likely go off at 10/1 this might be a smart way to back it but realistically I cant see how you would win long run.

One thing I would add is that we should be really proud of the gambling industry that has sprung up in the UK.  I know there are a lot of spineless bookmakers etc but there has been some outstanding innovation too with things like this.  Really great to see.

Yeah, I guess it wasn't built to help hand over money!  I don't think the margins are actually that huge though - there are a bunch of bonus things (not looked at it in a while) that allow you to bet half/all your cash for example that help overcome the restrictions.

I showed it to a couple of mates who like sport but don't really bet who seemed to like it.  Basically it's a kinda training ground for sports betting - cheap way to get a feel for how the mechanics work and spray a load of bets about without risking more than initial stake.  Whether that means the company will make much out of it long term is another thing...
