as the title suggests,it sounds easy but is it? im not going to post every bet as i think it will be boring for everyone, its just a little challenge im going to do myself.
Has anyone done something as equally boring as this challenge? if so i would like to hear about, surely 1.1 odds cant be to difficult if it is i will start to lay my selections instead! I will bet on anything i fancy and also trade in and out, trading will probaly be most of the selections so doesnt matter if i end up with a big fat £0 as long as its not red.
p.s if you find this thread another pointless challenge fair enough, but dont post a pointless reply
thanks in advance

Just curious as why it's okay to post a pointless challenge, but not okay to post a pointless reply?

You're unlikely to get much feedback from people who have done similar as most will have blown their bank and found a new hobby.

70 1.1 shots is equivalent to 1 789/1 shot so it doesn't sound easy at all.

and you don't get anything like the right odds like you would on a 789/1 shot because you lose commission at every stage.

surely not everyone one on here is a pro punter, some of us like just to have a bit of fun on small stakes and we have full time jobs elsewhere, just curious to see who had achieved something along these lines.
Pointless is in the eye of the beholder, however the chap who said about pointless threads has got a very valid point.

Just a few issues with this kind of thread that the starters never seem to address though.

Even if you start with just £10, you're going to be up to, for sake of argument, £5000 after 69 bets. Are you going to be okay getting that 70th bet on a) mentally and b) without moving the market ?

Is it really a "bit of fun" to turn £10 into $5000 and then lay 0-0 in Man Utd/Chelsea and watch the seconds tick by. Sounds like it could be almost suicide inducing!

Good luck with your challenge, but make sure you're mentally equipped if it goes t1ts at a late stage!

lily of the valley,
i am only expecting feedback from people like myself who do it as something to do, not to be taken seriously but just genuine in it to see how far they can go, if fail no big deal, theree mustbbe others with the same attitude
its hard typing when you re sh**faced
how any more times, this thread is to ask people like me if they have done anything like this and been successfu orl not. not t for the pros or people who who are serious about these matters.
At the end of the day they should have a special forum for professionals and serious people only!
damn hard work bladdered any ex bootnecks here?
