I'll have a go at one of his attempts. As far as I can remember he managed to at least double and almost triple his starting bank on this one before it failed.
Starting bank is 40 k. That money is put into 5 separate banks. Betting will mostly be done at odds asound 1.5 and I'm using a modified martingale system.
This challenge will at least go on until starting bank is doubled or if it's busted.
Starting bet size will increase roughly whenever 2 k is won.
I don't have many rules for what sports to bet on. Only one so far is that I may bet on horses with bank 1 , but no betting on horses with any of the other 4 banks.
Bank 1: 400 ,Bank 2: 1.2 k , Bank 3: 3.6 k , Bank 4: 10.8 k , Bank 5: 24 k
1. Manchester City to beat Wigan. 400 @ 1.42

Lol, fantastic Eddie. The only thing is Schalke won't know what a 'k' is.

By:
are you going to stop when you double/triple your bank, or wipe out like the great man?
|
|
By:
remember winners are more important than value, according to the great man

By:
It's also important to not actually have enough for bank 5 and to do a runner when bank 4 is bust.

By:
Northbouy, I'll decide on that if and when bank is doubled.

Eddie, you have lost the bold formatting on 'Won'. It's important you do this right.

Thank you. I just copied and pasted so apparently any bold go missing... I can't guarantee it wont happen again, but I'll certainly do my best to avoid it.

Shouldn't it be 1.2k?
|
|
By:
As the odds this time was well above 1.5 I din't need to use all of bank 2 to recover bank 1 and the expected profit should the bet win.
The 200 saved if it loses will also come in handy as there will be more to use for next bet and also 200 less in losses to recover. |
|
By:
So what are you doing, making it 3.8k the next?
|
|
By:
That will depend on the odds on whatever I'll bet on. The advantage of having saved 200 from bank 2 (if Norway don't win) is that I have up to 3.800 for the next bet and can bet on odds as short as 1.38 and still make a small profit from this run.
|
|
By:
If I had used a full bank 2 I would need at least the odds of 1.46 for the next bet to make a profit from this run.
