"The Downswings of Property and Poker"

[Eso Kral]

WHEN I WIN THE WORLD!

When and if i scoop somewhere between 20-25 bets time half of the monies is going to Petra to squirrel away for a rather tasty extension and loft conversion for "Chez Eso" and to start her off a little business we have been thinking of, the other half is gong to be usedon a couple of years of Poker where basically i am going to take some shots at events i would not ordinarrily buy direct into.

I have not yet been to Vegas and played Poker as when i lived in California for 6months was not interested in the game so this would defo form part of the events!

Look out later this week for the first selection!

Good Luck Rich.

Quite possibly going to be the worst bankroll management excercise in history but would love to see you hit the £100k.

TYTY obv this is not my life roll or poker roll and i reckon it will take me at least a year to knock it in so i look at it as an investment of entertainment at £80 per week, with a chance to win big and will most likely be the majority of my betting!

This is genius....I'd like to get involved, and may mirror your challenge - although as a recovering degen was trying to work out when my leg goes and I bottle it - you going to use this thread or diversify the Eso brand and put a separate challenge one up on Betting board? Think it would be fun if a few of us gave a go and see who did best - obv without hijacking your idea. Never ever going to be £80 a week unless you run real bad fwiw

Simples- start 2 challenges and only bottle it on the 1.

Yeah i think the roll will likely last 1 1/2 years so £80 p week was worst case in which case   meh

I will open another thread on Betting Tips and Sports Discussion and link it to this once i post my first selection or people interested are welcome to use this thread.

ESO'S CHALLENGE   £40 to £100k MINIMUM

Ok i have spoken to a few people on here about what i am going to try and do, its got a bit of degen in there and over a period of time is not going to hurt me plus could provide quite a big sweat!!

Basically i remember earlier this year a guy started with an £8000 bet and punted his way to circa £400k iirc eventually losing on his 26th bet when he put the lot (less £80k for his wedding) on Djokovic to beat Fedderer in the French open Semi final and had stated if this won he was going to stop and buy a house, obv he lost and has not been heard of since.

I am not going to do it with 1 bullet but am going to start at £40 and give myself 100 goes ( ie £4000) at trying to get approx 20-25 correct in a row, i dont know whether i will get there and if i dont it does not matter too much as i reckon it will take approx a year to do the roll in.  I am going to do most of it on Betfair and will photo the screen and post itt once i am matched so there is no aftertiming!

There will be some caveats I am putting in and they are   A) I will only pull out money if say i have had 50 pops (£2000) and i am up to 6k on a bet i may withdraw my 2k so i still have 100 bullets and the next bet would be 4k.  B) If the roll drops to 2k i may change to a reduced stake of £20 starting bet and still have 100 pops at it.

I will mostly be playing at odds on and on mainstream events and will not be betting everyday just on events i fancy, but if anyone wants to post itt the odd tip please feel free.  Some people i have spoken to have said can they give me say £400 and do it on a smaller level to win 10k but after Blatchgate i have no interest in this, please dont take it personally just open up a betfair account and do it that way!

I dont know if its gonna be possible but i will have a bloody good try at it and am sure we will have a few good sweats along the way, some have said will i really have 70k on an event after say 20 winners but i am determined to break 100k so yes i will and whilst i am aware the higher i go it may be difficult to get the whole lot on i will find a way and have already thought of this but will obv post on this when i need to.

Will let you know when the first selection is and if i my next post will let you know what i am going to do with the winnings 

GL anyone who joins in!!

Doesn't this just fall over when there isn't enough liquidity in the betfair markets.  Either that or you end up skewing the market so much with your £50k bet that the odds you take are bound to be terrible?

Largely accurate, though not quite perfectly so. Essentially as the bet size grows you become increasingly limited in the choice of markets you can 'efficiently' bet into. Short priced Premier League teams, heavy favourites in the tennis etc. will be fine, though anything rather more niche and as Doobs says you will be heavily eroding your EV.

All of which said, the very best of luck to you Eso Kral. A truly absorbing diary.
