Title: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Phil on February 09, 2006, 11:03:14 AM Ok, just saw a thread on a different forum and thuoght I'd have a go myself, wondered if anyone else would want to join me in having a go.
The 'game' is - turn £50 into £1000 using UK Football bets. To make it a bit more interesting i'm setting myself a deadline of March 31st. I'll start from this saturday. If I hit £0 I've lost - no rebuys! Anyone interested? If there's few of us we can keep track of bets/profit/loss on this thread.

WHUFC Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Phil on February 09, 2006, 11:14:15 AM So that'll be £50 on West Ham to beat Birmingham from you?!
Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Graham C on February 09, 2006, 11:16:09 AM I've been trying to turn £50 in to £1000 for years :(
Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Ironside on February 09, 2006, 07:44:45 PM are we sticking to one market or do we play any bookies
i would suggest one market and properly betfair so we can back and lay Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Acidmouse on February 09, 2006, 07:49:01 PM I am game, betfair sounds best :)
Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Phil on February 09, 2006, 08:24:58 PM Yeah, betfair sounds good to me. Maybe someone can teach me how/when to lay.

Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: Phil on February 11, 2006, 09:50:50 AM Ok, my bets are on and the, £50 is on the line today... this could be a short game!! 4 bets in total and i've even tried a Lay for the first time.
11th February 1) £20 on Colchester United to Beat Huddesfield at odds of 3 2) £5 on Portsmouth to Beat Manchester United at odds of 7 3) £11.40 on the Draw between Blackburn and Evetron at odds of 3.25 4) And my final £13.60 is taken up by a Lay on Nottingham Forest who are playing Swansea. If all bets come off I would be at £119.25 at the end of the day. Title: Re: Football Betting 'Game' Post by: GlasgowBandit on February 11, 2006, 11:08:09 AM IMO this seems like a complicated way to win your money, you could back a certain double for your £50 and be in profit for week one.
This would be my selection: Arsenal 8/15 Chelsea 2/5 Watford 8/11 Hibs 8/11 £20 acca Returns £128.09 Fulham V WBA 9/4 Villa V Newcastle 9/4 Hull V Norwich 11/5 Sheffield Wed V Palace 11/5 £2 lucky 15 returns £639.04 if all come up. My method here is to cash in on my certainties and double my original outlay and hopefully get 3 draws from the lucky 15. If I was being greedy I would add Gretna and East Stirlings opponents into my acca. |
