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?

Definitely give this a wiggle. In x
-
Ah go on then :D
-
certainly in for this.
-
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
-
your problem will be the urge to bail at about £1500+
-
your problem will be the urge to bail at about £1500+
I"d probably do that, but not a bad return though
where do I start? I have free bets on bet 365 :)
-
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"
-
Well Im out of IPOPS but Denver did the business for me in the challenge upto £24.91 after 6 bets
-
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)
-
Im up for this, when is every1 ( apart from sharkey ) starting?
-
I"m in... started last night with £10 on the NY Knicks to beat Detroit Pistons @ 1/9... up to £11.11.
I can"t see me ever being able to keep letting it roll once if it gets much over £100! :-\ Such a nit!!!
But, as suggested by Mark, a little profit taking along the way may ease the pain.

Start from now (start of the fred) until the end of WCOAP or is that not long enough?
-
Is that not too long? Thought it was a 73 day / bet challenge?
-
If anyone else starts a blog to update let me know and I will link it on mine.

It is a 73 bets challenge isn"t it? No time limit?

What"s the odds in decimal 1.10? Because that will give you a lot of bet in play opportunity for example when it is a dead cert victory

Yeah, this is what I am thinking. Might be an outside chance of getting it done this way.

I suspect you"ll find that the price gets a lot less than 1.1 by the time an event is anything like a "dead cert".
My current theory, which has a 100% success rate (I accept that ONE is quite a small sample size), is that American sports (NBA for example) have really in depth analysis carried out by very knowledgeable people and a 1/10 favourite in a two horse race really shouldn"t be getting beat very often*.
(*I know, i know, it should get beat once in eleven times.)

Yeah not a dead cert obv but in play is likely still the best way of going about it I would guess.
Please note I am a total fish at sports betting.

I"ve gone with Basketball as well but nowt as highclass as the NBA, I"ve gone for Colorado State to beat North Colorado at 1/10. I have £24.91 riding on it at bet 7. Let the Battle of Colorado commence!

Straight back in there with an in-play Indian league soccerball bet, placed just before half-time...

Bengal are top of the league, Salgaocar are 11 of 14, neither team have played a 0-0 match so far this season (7 games).

One for Thursday perhaps?
Labour to win Rotherham By-Election, currently at 1/8. (Edit: 1/5 on Ladbrokes)
Labour have held this seat with a huge majority in every election since taking it from the Tories in a 1933 By-Election (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29).
Does anyone with any sort of interest in politics, know of any reason why labour shouldn"t win this?
-
Load of bad publicity this weekend with the whole Foster Parents thing. Could see a big protest vote for UKIP. By elections often have crazy results especially in an area like Rotherham

After the first bet (Ladbrokes) all my others have been on Paddy Power, but I think most online sites cover a whole host of "obscure bets".

Bet 6 is down...
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s71/RioRodent/Bet06.jpg)
No science behind it, just that after watching the first 30 mins I can"t believe that either team is good enough to keep the other team out.

Taking Mark"s lead... Bet 7, at a monster price

With that I shall bid you all goodnight and look forward to waking up to untold riches. :o
-
I"m currently trying to satellite into this event via my paddypower account!
I"ve placed my £2.20 on a tennis match. A win will give me £11.00
If this happens I will stick to bets close to 1/10 odds.
(I bet on a horse that was a dead cert once........... It never finished the race! I advise you guys to not make the same bets as me!)
-
It was fun while it lasted... The whole two bets! I hate football bets! >:(

C"mon the goalkeepers - again!!
-
Yep Indiana did the business so that"s 8 bets down and up to £31.97.
Team sports are definately the way to go IMO, individually if you have a bad day you lose. If one individual has a bad day in a team they can still win. Although I would avoid football like the plague.

I also won"t be risking the roll on trying to pick the winner of a football match, however I shall probably continue with the in-play, over/under goals bets - until it all goes tits-up!! It"s a bit like the big all-in re-raise... works every time but the last. :D

I"ve been trying to explain the logic of the bet to a non gambling friend and as far as the "When will you bottle it and take the cash" scenario we have decided we are just playing Deal or no Deal!

Looking at the early Las Vegas odds for tonight"s college basketball games (http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/las-vegas/money/), there appear to be several mis-matched games.
Not many of the online bookies have them priced up at the moment though.

Placed one bet in play on some random basketball game at 1/10. Faller at the first hurdle ;D x

Loving the idea of this challenge and will have a go, however I would suggest taking bigger odds on betfair or betdaq and paying the commission, as I am fairly confident the plan will come unstuck when you regularly try and get 4 figure bets on long odds on shots with most well known bookies, you just wont get on. Right here goes I have laid £10 @1-5 about there being no goal in the first 10 minutes of the stoke v newcastle game hopefully will get me up to £11.90 after my 5% deduction from my £2 profit.

If only this were the only flaw in the plan!! £1000 will be circa 45 consecutive winning bets... I am totally amazed that I have got as far as 9 without going bust. :o
Good luck with your picks.

Found the explanation for the "cash out" but still can"t see how the math worked in my example above.
What is Cash Out?
Cash Out is a product from Betfair that allows you to lock in a profit or loss before waiting for the event to finish.
Betfair do the maths to offer you a value in real time of your current bets based on the live market prices.
Using a single click you can cash out of all bets placed on a single market.
Important Points
Cash Out is available on a wide variety of Betfair markets.
The Cash Out icon is displayed for the markets where Cash Out is available. Cash Out may not be available at times where there is low liquidity in a market.
Cash Out automatically places bets on the Betfair market to lock in a position. The Cash Out value shown is the minimum amount you would receive if you were to make a successful Cash Out.
Cash Out amounts are not guaranteed as they are based on live Betfair markets where prices are constantly moving. This means you may receive more than indicated, or your Cash Out may be unsuccessful or only partially successful.
If a Cash Out is unsuccessful or partially successful then we will offer you a new Cash Out amount based on your revised position and the current prices in the Betfair market.
Any reduction in exposure will be credited back to your account after placing a successful cash out, and any profit made on the market will be paid when the market is settled.

Which is probably not the best time to be picking a "horse"s on which to risk my bankroll...but I"ve done it anyway.
Bet 13 - NBA LA Clippers to win, £45.16 @ 1/10.

Bet 13 - NBA LA Clippers to win, £45.16 @ 1/10.
Clippers win easily. Balance now £50.67.
This bet was placed via my phone and somehow I managed to stake £45.16 instead of the full balance of £46.15, so lost out on 10p profit!!

So what have we learned from it?
- Don"t bet for the sake of it... that"s what mug punters do. If you had a look and don"t fancy anything then don"t change you mind.
- Stick with team sports... as Mark pointed out, either here or on his blog, individuals can have a bad day and lose against the odds, but if an individual in a team has a bad day the team can still win.
- Stick to sports you know plenty about... like Indian soccerball and Lithuanian basketball. ::)
- Don"t back a "bottler" like Ricky Walden!!
Any way... I"ll have one more try! Onwards and upwards... This time next year, Rodney, we"ll be miwyanaires.

I"m currently trying to satellite into this event via my paddypower account!
I"ve placed my £2.20 on a tennis match. A win will give me £11.00
If this happens I will stick to bets close to 1/10 odds.
(I bet on a horse that was a dead cert once........... It never finished the race! I advise you guys to not make the same bets as me!)
Not had much time to get on here but my bet came good so i"m in the running...
If there are no objections I will be counting the tennis bet as bet 1.
I have just put my £11.04 on Carter to beat Murphy with odds of 1/9 for bet 2.
I actually can see Murphy winning this the way he is playing (and lack of Carters skill), I suppose that will give me some sort of thrill watching!

11th bet comes in...onto £34.57.
Backed Boro when 2-0 up at Peterboro, Chelsea 2-0 up at Sunderland and Norwich 3-0 up at Swansea.....and all 3 started to slip !!
-
Bets 15 & 16 £88.64 on Blackwater King to be placed in the 12.25 Kelso @1.19 and if successful it"s all going on the 49"ers to beat the Miami dolphins @1.2
Edit: Both copped so I am up to £124.25, going to hold fire for a few days for bet 17 as it"s pretty quiet on the sports betting front at the moment.
Edit: Bet 17 was a winner Swansea in running so now up to £140.40, I have decided to approach this from a different angle now. The average price of my winners so far is 1.18 or just under 2-11 in betting terms therefore I am well ahead of the required rate. According to my spreadsheet at 1-10 after 17 winners I should have a pot of £50.54 so I have decided not to risk the whole pot on future bets but to invest enough to keep me on track with the returns at 1-10 on my spreadsheet. Therefore today I will be putting £85 on Miss blakeney in the 630 Kempton at 1.17, at least if it gets topped I will still be in the challenge with my expected return after 18 selections of £55.60 nearly in tact. I know it is not in the spirit of the challenge but it is getting there that counts. (yes I know dream on)

Decided to start this tonight but struggled to find anything (prob time of year). Found in running Osborne v Ilagan at 2-0 up and with odds on Osborne winning Set 3 at 1.2 when ahead against the darts in leg 1 and odds on final set score 3-0 at 1.52 ??? It was a no brainer on the latter.
Darts / Osborne v Ilagan : Correct Score
Profit 4.94 :)

Found another of these PDC games tonight with Justin Pipe leading Andy Jenkins 2-0 & looking good for the 3rd set in the third leg. Pipe at 1.14 to win Set 3 or 1.4 to win the match 3 sets to nil....eh let me think about that for a millisecond ;)
14.94 on Pipe to win 3-0
Darts / Pipe v Jenkins : Correct Score
Profit: 5.67
So after Bet 2 I"m up to £20.61

Cheers Grant, best of luck to you as well, your well ahead of the asking rate after your first two. I am up to £213.74 after my 22nd selection obliged today @ 1.16 Two Rockers to be placed in the 1.40 Towcester, getting a bit lumpy stake wise now but as I said in an earlier post I am not risking all, so that makes it more comfortable. To be honest if you like a bet on a regular basis this is a great idea, I have had over 3 weeks of bets for a tenner which is actually saving me money :D

Well done so far mate 8) keep rolling along. Yeah i"m ahead of my odds coz of the strange Betfair markets :D those odds above just don"t make sense when it"s the same outcome, but hey i won"t complain. Definitely worth clicking a few extra buttons on Betfair to suss things out.
Thought I"d grabbed another late last night at 1.16 for the draw in injury time of the Brazil v Denmark women"s footie with score at 2-2. Not sure what happened, looked like my bet was matched £20.61/£3.47, game ended 2-2 but no profit visible afterwards ???. I"ll have another look at what"s on tonight & see if there"s another nice value bet jumping out at me ;) GLGLGL!

I"ve done it in work with 9 others, a pound each.. It"s not as easy as doing it yourself with tinternet access but we are onto our 7th bet.. Got $18.55 going onto what ever. Picked some odds longer than 1/10 so that might explain why we aren"t on much. Still going though so that"s the main thing.

GL with this into 2013 Bill, I stupidly just missed a 1.5 on Redskins last night at -3.5 points when they were 1st & goal and already 3 points ahead ::) How you getting on Don?

Hi Grant,
Happy New Year,
My last bet was number 27 and I am up to £305.43, I should be on £131 roughly so I have cashed in £165 and bought in to the 888 Superstack which is in London the same weekend as Apat Luton. So my roll is back to £140 but still on course according to my spreadsheet so will have to see how bet 28 gets on today in the 115 wolves La Estrella @1.17 it will hopefully win to continue my run, but if not I am in a decent tourney for a tenner so can"t be bad.
-
Magic stuff Don!!

Cheers Waz and the very best of luck with the forum team in Luton

La Estrella comes home at odds of 1/12, but sweats by a short head :o

Bet 5 - Seems ridiculous these odds for 1st v 2nd in league but they"re too strong at home in this division to pass this up
Rangers Match Odds 1.12
£27.08 £3.25

My challenge is going really slow as I have ten people involved, paying a pound each. The snag is that some of them don"t know anything about betting and thought they would join in for a quid, relying on the other 6/7 to help them out. Shifts, holidays and the festivities have not help at all...
Anyway.... Bet 7 won, Manchester United in play when 1-0 up 1/8 took us to roughly $19+ and today we were on Tottenham to beat Coventry... Comfortable win at 1/6 which puts us on our 9th bet with $22+
Next challenge is deffo going to be 10 of us starting with £10 each and going from £100 to get as much as possible with evens or less.... But that is for another day after this one has finished...
Bet 9 on it"s way in the next few days....
-
i have decided to have a go at this challenge so my 1st bet is on liverpool in the fa cup v mansfield @2/9
-
on to bet 2 which is £12-22 on barcelona @ 1/9 to beat espanyol tonight
-
Bet 9 - NFL in play Baltimore to win. The betting was suspended that many times that when I eventually got it on it was 1/20 but I put it on anyway..
Bet 10 - Benfica to win away. 1/10 1-0 up at half-time. 22.81 on this.
Benfica won 3-1 so bet 11 coming in the next day or so....
