I"m sure we have all heard of the trying to spin up from 0 to 10k in poker rooms etc...

A popular challenge doing the rounds online at the moment is £10 to 10k in 73 bets by backing 1/10 shots with your whole bankroll.

So you put £10 on a 1/10 shot and have £11 then put the £11 on the next 1/10 shot you have £12.10 etc...

Its a stupid challenge but a bit of fun. I started mine last week, I"m not sticking completely to the rules though as I started with £11.76 (Which is what I had sat in one of my betting accounts) and I am not sticking ridgedly to 1/10 shots as I think that narrows down the opportunities. I"ve started a blog here   http://gototletitride.blogspot.co.uk/ which I am keeping updated, currently up to Bet 5. If anyone else gives it a go let me know.

We should have a competition and see who can get closest. Who would be up for it?

I"ll have a go... Are there any guidelines (rules)..?
Does it have to be 1/10 or can it be 1/20 or 1/5...
What sport is it on..any or football or horses...
It is not as easy as it sounds, what were Celtic yesterday v ICT..?

The "official rules" state that its 1/10 shots 73 bets. But If you read the first post on my blog then Im actually bending those as I reckon it restricts your betting options although I wont be doing anything shorter than 1/10 or bigger than 1/5 I wouldnt have thought. You can bet on anything you like though

I"d probably do that, but not a bad return though

If you spin £10 to 10k and 1 or more of the bets is not 1/10, I"m sure you will gutted about breaking the rules of the challenge and it "not counting"

I honestly don"t know what I will do if I get to big money. One of the options would be if I got to 4 figures take £500 out and start from the £500 level although I really would like to just go for it. Its actually real fun looking for obscure bets and hunting around the web for "form". Watching some Turkish Basketball team beat a Russian one whilst constantly pressing refresh on the live scores is quite addictive.

I think the hardest part of this would be finding bets at 1/10 if you want to stick to the same site. (I looked around Betfair)
