10 even money bets for £25,000

the psychological torment of the last 2/3 bets would break most people - good luck

Granted.....it probably won't happen at the first attempt, but i'm sure we've all had decent streaks before. If we can help eachother with the selections, theres no reason we can't take it for big dough.

waawah, I have often thought the same thing. Was part of a circle that, staking aside, had 10 of us who had the objective of 100 bets in a row.

First time made it to the 30's (each punter had made 3 in just over a month). Second time the 60's. Third time made it over about 14 weeks (re: some of the "team" would take 2 to 3 days to make a selection or wait for Sunday NFL).

The big factor that made it "pressure free"; there was no building bank. Chosing roughly a bet a week (once the person in front of you had put theres on the table, you could put up yours).

My gut is the betfair forum can't do it since I find that people want things to move along "quickly" (blame the internet).

this sounds like a good idea, people could help each other out and pick like one even shot a day or something. Also thought of another thing, if we got 512 people you could do that old system/derren brown thing, half of them pick one evens while the others opposite, like both even odds on tennis or one could be backing while others laying. Only one person would make it to £25k though.

good idea, get ten people signed up then and lets go for it.............they would all have to be serious......may I suggest banking half after three, it means we would have to hit a longer streak, but at least we'd be banking some profits along the way...........have an odds range of 1.5-2.5............It would sort out the top tipsters from the trash too.........who's going to start?

ten people sign in.......take it in turns to post a bet..........only after the person in front's bet has been posted, may you post your selection

odds range 1.5-2.5 bet/lay

banking half the profit after three bets (although it's your money if you want to try for more)

first bet: £25 (again, it's your money start with £2 or £200 if you like)

1. I.quit.my.job
2. waawah ???
3. shapeshifter ????
4. yazza ?????

sign in, we want ten people........when we have ten confirmed, we can start.......Waawah it's your thread - you take control

don't just post a bet for the sake of it, it must be your strongest possible selection.............even if it means waiting 3 days............we need ten people who visit the forum regularly

if you post two consecutive losers - you're fired! and have to sit on the subs bench until someone else posts two losers

p.s. I don't want the pressure of going first :)

i got nine right not too long ago on another thread..the £10 to £10 000 one...but tbh at least three of the selections were due to good fortune last min goal etc...also to my utter disdain i didnt bet with real money..sods law and all that if it had been real id have been out after 1 attempt! ok thats a bit negative but u know what i mean..good idea to pool resources though

that's about 5 of us there, we could get 5 more and each person one after the other post a bet around evens, if we don't get 10 then just do 5 or something and we'll do 2 bets each

I think it's a great idea. If you flip a coin a few hundred times you'll be amazed how many streaks of all heads or all tails crop up in a row.

You've inspired me to have a bit of fun and give it a go. I would join you lads but I'm hopeless at picking bets so I'd feel I'd let the side down somewhat! :)

I wish you luck though chaps.

i'm in, start Nov 1st.

Would love to join in,may learn disciplne.

very insightful southerner

Count me in. I have one for tomorrow i will post it up in the morning. Currently evens :)

wahwah it is tax free if you are betting for yourself, if for a syndicate its not tax free.

I was not being smart , just giving you a heads up thats all.

Obviously the Southerner thought he was great using bold to** on an internet forum

good luck with the challenge, i was only trying to help

It seem the "plan of attack" / guidelines differ.

More than happy to contribute evens (or better) since it will become a thread that will force people to look for value. IQMJ....you rolled down to 1.50. To me, not necessary to post such bets since if someone is looking in the 1/2, 3/5 range, to me it is not something to "tip up". Evens or better means a strike rate above 60% or so will offer a return (with commission). 1.50 will not offer that.

It seems people as well are looking at different paces. So, as someone suggested, people can post evens or better and individuals can bet how they want (compound, percentage, etc).

But, as I said, do people (a) have the patience to find the plays rather than run to the next cue and (b) can people focus on their "specialties" rather than trying to fill a quota and rush to a "golden egg"?

Stay tuned

I wish you all luck, but the reason why you can turn 1 dollar into 1024 by backing 10 even money shots, is because the odds of pulling it of is 1023/1.

If you have one person pick 10 bets, 5 people pick 2 each, or 10 people each picking 1 makes no difference. You are still dodging bullets.

Basically your staking plan in doubling up is silly. Why are you staking 1 dollar on the first bet, 2 on the next, 4 on the next and so on, if each bet has the same chance of each other of winning - 50%.

Fair enough point, but some of them sound as though they expect to achieve it.

thats okay, you won't be missed.

If you're basing all your betting around compounding 100%, then you will always hit disappointment.

Several posts say "you are dodging bullets". I can't speak for others but, no, when I place a bet, I don't look for "risky bets". I weigh them out and if they don't offer value and I feel confident that I have looked at the event closely, then I don't hit enter whether it be 4/6 or 10/1 or whatever.

Yes, I''ll take flutters but I value my hard earned too much to "risk it on a hunch" or place a bet that has the potential of me being hit by a "bullet".

But the one thing I have seen since venturing into betting more and more the past decade is with the internet came gamblers who click onwards looking for the next play. I'm finding more and more that putting more time into research pays off. Making notes on events pays off. Avoiding bets that have anomolies, question marks pays off. Watching events with the intention of looking for future bets pays off. Not betting on headlines pays off.

The value is there every day. It's a matter of having the focus to wait for the right moment to strike. Successful boxers to it. Successful poker players do it. Teams do it.

Enjoy the success. Learn from the losses.

It comes down to pacing yourself since, as I have said before, there is always another horse race.

prob no one will agree but i think ipswich are worth a try at the rice 2.72..due an away win and they wont get a better opportunity than plymouth will they? if they cant start winning at places like that they wont win anywhere else

Liking Villa at 2.3
