Think a chap called Shalke04 did it a few times, but he's calmed his staking down a bit now.
Hmm no chance 
Try turning £20 into over £5,000 using 30 or less 1.20 bets then id be impressed still havnt seen anyone do it yet

The probability of that happening is 0.0013%
(2.12 = 47.17%, .4717^15 = 0.0000127)
Good luck!

Just suppose you have an amazing run, would you go all in with half a million for the final bet?
Guys thanks for your input, at 0.0013% it's a silly betting strategy but fortune favors the brave.
1st bet of £30 will be on the 15th (Ivory Coast v Portugal), i'm placing the full bank on the over 2.5 goals market.
If i'm lucky enough to get to half a million, i'll place it all on my next bet...I'm blanking out the value of my bank and treating it purely as £30 quid that i won't miss.
Obviously the longer a higher sum sits in my bank the more i'll think about spending it and that's why this all has to be done in 10 days! (Starting with 2 games on the 15th)

at what price? I haven't looked at that market but i'd want at least 2.7 on overs in that game if i was wagering now. Both teams capable of grinding out games and Drogba out for IC
I can get 2.42 now for +2.5 goals on the Ivory Coast and Portugal game. If i'm succesful i'll go for the +3.5 goals in the Brazil v North Korea game which follows at a price of 2.38 now. Both are currently above my 2.12 target.
Thanks 1.01 Layer.
Tonymontana i've factored in 5% BF Commission in the figures shown.
Only thing that might hinder my success is the pot size available to bet in the latter stages (That's assuming i get that far ofcourse!)
I'll update this thread regularly from next week with progress for those of you that want to see how this plays out!

Doesnt matter about grammar etc on here, it wont last and pointless putting it up this early imo
Okay, i've decided to start my climb inline with the start of the worldcup.
Bet 1 of 15:
Multiples = +1.5 goals on South Africa v Mexico and +1.5 goals on France v Uruguay
Stake - £30
Potential Win - £37.20 (Got odds of 2.24)
Wish me luck!

i would personally operate 2/3 pools banking at set point enabling you to go again
Wendz , you calculated the commission wrong.
Those 15 bets in your opening post would actually turn into £ 1.576.000. on 5 % commission.
In reality you would lower your commission rate all the time during this challenge and you would probably have ended up with more than 1,6 million.

firstly i dont mind these threads because there a good laugh so gl but i can assure you it wouldnt be as easy as you say to put half a million on your last bet and i can guarantee you wouldnt! but still think you should have gne for small targets , no hope with the ones uve set!
I agree danny actually at over a grand i wouldnt place a bet

Bet 1 of 16:
Multiples = +1.5 goals on Argentina v Nigeria... +2.5 goals on England v USA.... +1.5 goals on South Korea v Greece
Stake - £9.99
A Doubles bet with a total Potential Win - £18.02

Wendz09 you will always get criticised for these challenges mate, all i can say is best of luck.. tried it before numerous times and failed
but if you have a bad feeling about anything then i suggest just avoid it completely and to not rush...

Hi all, I've learn't my lesson over the past few days that this idea of 15 bets to £1m is absolutely bonkers! I'm giving up on this approach and advise anyone else trying to do it to do so.
Things i've learnt:
1. Do not go all in with your bank, once it's gone you're out of the game!
2. Bank half your winnings on a regular basis.
3. Stick to value bets offering odds between 1.3 and 2.12.
I've started a new thread "Slow growth of a £10..." and as i'm still learning i'd appreciate any constructive advice. We're all in this to try and make a small regular income. So goodluck all!

value can be found at any price, limiting yourself to odds of between 1.3 and 2.12 is a very silly thing to do

was just about to say the same thing. what if you find a 2.2 shot that should be 1.7?
no bet because it's at 2.2 and not 2.12? madness.

You've had a bit of bad luck, you're due a good run... why stop now? You can't have expected to make a million 1st try!
