Many here believe it is IMPOSIBLE to make 10% of your bank a week consistantly.  i say its bullchit and i know its bullchit because i doubled my bank every month (which is 25% a week) and turned £50 into £25,000 in 9 months.


starting bank of £100 the aim is to make 10% of the bank per week.

so this week i need to make £10 which is an avge of £1.43 per day.


Fleetwood vs york (mickey mouse league) 3.00pm K.O

Bet 1: back under 3.5 goals @ 1.28 (£20)

Livebetter (and plenty agree with him) said in another thread 10% a week is IMPOSSIBLE over the long run.

I dont see how people find it a problem either.  i could double anyones money in 28 days (4 weeks) so 10% a week is childsplay.

amuses me to think people actually think a small amount like 10% a week is IMPOSSIBLE

10% of £100 is just £1.47 a day and could do it blindfolded

i-only-lay, please answer why we don't all do this (below) if it is so easy? [from the other Kid thread]. Cunningplan, feel free too.


10% a day is "simple"??

A simple £100 start bank at a simple 10% a day for simply 365 days returns a simple £11,666,414,366,485,000.00

I assume you are simply the richest man the world has ever seen?

Ok, so you couldn't get matched...?

But of course you can get matched up to £30k easy on footy matches and horse racing. So I assume you have started with £100 and done a simple 10% a day for simply 86 days to get £30k.

Then you took your £30k and stopped compounding, and just settled for 10% of the £30k each day to give you just under £1.1 million for the year (before commission of course), didn't you?

Didn't you? Because if you didn't you are a little silly to not have made millions aren't you?

thats 10% a day....I said 10% a WEEK

LIVEBETTER said 10% a week was impossible...i know it isnt as i turned £50 into £25,000 in 9 months doubling my bank every 4 weeks

Hi I Only Lay. Please do not take this the wrong way as it is a comment not a knock.
Why have you started at least 30 different types of laying threads and quit everyone as soon as you have gone into negative territory. I think you have some good ideas and if you are to be believed you obviously make things pay. But what is the point of starting these threads just to let them fade away. I just do not get it. ????

The trouble is, it isn't simple or easy.  Of course, it is possible, just not very likely in my opinion.

You are staking £20 (1/5 of your bank).  An early goal goes in and the trade is in trouble.  Plenty of early goals go in, sometimes goal rushes come, sometimes no goals come.  Often against what all stats/knowledge/run of play suggests.  It's a bit of a lottery in that sense.

So you say to change the bet when you need to.  But you then have to use a similarly large part of your bank, if not more.  Then the score stays the same, or the goals keep coming.  Money is all over the place.

Worst case you lose 2/5 of bank or more.  You might get away with just losing the £20. You might somehow make money, but sooner or later you are going to lose one.

Say you lose the £20 you have staked - when you are winning £1.30 (before commission) a time, that is 15 days of bets undone!

It is hard work. Not "simple".

Like dennis, I am not having a go, just playing devil's advocate.  And a small warning to all the "fuccking clues" types on here, as you put it Happy, that it won't be simple for them.

Good luck with the thread and keep it up for a long time like 20 weeks plus hopefully.

10% of £25,000 is £2500 a week,  £2500 x 52 is £130,000 not 2.8mill you crazy horse

i think he means 10% a week as in compound it Laugh[;)]

so then you take 10% of 27,500 in the next week and so on

you cant do that as there is only a certain amount of money you can matched.


you can do it up to a point but then you just have to keep it a level 10%

once you get up to £500,000 you are hardly going to get matched for 150k pre k.o and then laid off for 150k in-play

Surely the question everyone reading this should be asking is, if you were making plenty on here month in month out,would you really start a thread trying to convince others it can be done?

Would you fk.

As for i made £1781.23 just in the bolton/birmingham game

ONE GAME!


Well i could show you plenty of four figure payouts i've had on here on one event,but it proves nothing,i'm still in the red.
