PRO PUNTERS: Number of bets it takes you to double your money (Average)

just one if you back an evens winner.

disagree ken

think poster means your bank, so you are saying you drop whole bank on a even money bet

try again, i know you wouldn't do that

about 20 for me varies sometimes a lot more

around 6 months worth...that could be around 125 bets

The question is very vague. cunningplan, you criticise my answer
and i accept what you say, but then along comes DCM who requires
6 times as many bets as you do!!
Personally, I don't work from a fixed bank so I can only guess,
if I work on say, 3% perhaps the answer is about 25 bets with 3%
compounded. I wonder of the purpose of the question to be honest.

You guys must be doing extremely well!

It's a good question though, for me based on last years results it was around 6000 bets, which took about 2 months, all placed manually. Haha I guess that sounds crazy!

Not crazy at all Trev !

Putting bets on manually is where half of the fun is, imo....

Can be anywhere between 3 and 30 for me.

Not sure about the average, but from 1st January 2012, it took me roughly 70,000 bets to double my bank.

..around 30 weeks to double my bank ,(during the footie season that is) . Around 600 games on average over all   .

Impossible question to answer really.

Depends on the size of the bank,obviously if you have bank of 100 it won't take as many as if you have a bank of 10K

don't see how it makes a difference unless you change your staking with a smaller bank vs a bigger one.
and if you're risking too much on a smaller one then you won't double it very often

smaller banks will increase more as a proportion because you're risking a bigger chunk of your bank each time ,obviously the chances of blowing a smaller bank are also much increased

Last (near) doubling took 2,411 bets. However, the two days before that were both heavy losses.
