Following on from this post here this thread can be used to update the progress of our various attempts to bet our initial stakes each day plus all winnings on events with very small odds in an effort to accumulate vast wealth

I thought we could share any silly odds we find and generally keep a check of how we are each doing. My initial try at this started with just £6 as that's what I had uncommitted at the time.

I just did mine for today, got St Johnston in running at 1.07 just after Hibs scored to take it to 3-1, St Johnston have just scored again so 4-1 with 18 minutes left to go.

In the words of Danny Baker [stand up] Nothing can go wrong now!!!!! [sit down]

lol - yeah it's down for me as well, trying to check my calculations are right for my win earlier. 3/3 so far. Glad I avoided the early ice hockey match, only 2-1 in the second period is not what I want from a 1.05 bet

92p up after Bayern Munich won today (just) from my tenner Take into note betfairs commission not my adding up for the balance

[kopchoir]

Im in ill start tomorrow

[booyaka]

sorely tempted to kick off with a 1.35 bet - Shaun White for golf in Halfpipe/Winter Olympics - basically the only way he looses is if he beats himself!!!

Worth a punt now at the start to get the balance up and running. Will advise.

edit - Stupid betfair won't accept my mastercard debit card!!!

[booyaka]

Shaun White for gold - it's on @1.21

£9.85 starting balance for me - will keep a track.

I started with a 1.19 bet as well, like you say, bumps it along.

I've updated my table with my day 3 bet now. Really tempted to do day 4 and go with the sweden ice hockey game.

Edit: - Done it at 1.13 lol

I took your advice and went for that for my day's bet @ 1.32 and won

£11.48 in the account now are you betting your whole balance at the moment as I haven't needed to yet to make the 2.5% unless I'm doing it wrong

Makes sense May take that route when I get a few more wins under my belt! Will update my post later with progress, least I got my bet for today out the way nice and early

I think the tennis ones are going to be good bets going forward as the higher rated players don't often go out in the early rounds. Interesting that we only need 2.5% a day but at the moment we're finding easy money over and above that

[dazza74]

I'm up for this, I'll side aside £5 from my Betfair account as a starting point and work with that. Tennis always a good bet. I've got 1.05/1.06 on players in play when they are a set up and leading 4-2 in the 2nd on occasions. Men's tennis is the safest bet, I've looked at the betting odds and stats for both the mens and womens game from last year and the womens game is less reliable for favourites winning.

Soderlings got a bye into the 2nd round today. The Atp Tour website is brilliant for stats, even has all the previous meeting between players where available. Here's the link for the Soderling match today. Looks a useful player his opponent, could give him a game :

Tennis - ATP World Tour - Head To Head

[dazza74]

I think "Rob" mentioned the goals market the other day. Under 4.5 goals normally offers around 1.11 upwards. Across the leagues I look at about 87% of games finish under 5 goals, teams like Swansea have 12 matches on the trot that are under 2.5 goals so it looks a safe bet with the right game. I might start doing Acca's based on this.

worth a look, I registered with betfair not using any offers and out of the blue they credited £5 to my account after a few day's :

Free Bets | Online Betting | Bookmakers | Sports Betting

I'm going to use betfair myself as you can also lay selections as well or lay them out for profit if your unsure of an outcome.

Have to see how this goes, I'm quite up for a laying thread as well. You start with say £10 and you see how much you can get it upto by laying outsiders etc, laying teams to win away from home etc.

[kopchoir]

Just registered with betfair cant deposit any funds at the mo just not letting me even tried paypal but they said something about not available in your country where your bank and credit card details are registered

He should be okay Soderling, I made money on him in the final the other day and this tournament is on Indoor Hard courts again which suits his game.

Give them a call Si, the Betfair helpline is one of the best out there to be honest. I've called them a few times in the past and they sort it out almost instantly.

Re the odds, remember guys we only need 2.5% which is a 1.03 / 1.04 bet on Betfair (allowing for their scrape). To avoid slips as soon as it starts to get interesting I'm mostly going to do in running bets like last nights football, 3-1 up, at home with 18 minutes left to play and I got 1.07, could have left it a bit longer but I thought that was a good chance of seeing it out.

Thanks for the tennis tip Dazza, that's not my sport at all so handy info there. I've done my bet for today already and I think there's some more ice hockey later which looks interesting, I mean, can we really see Canada and USA losing when playing against teams that don't even have professional leagues

I see what you mean, even on the footie you don't see the outsiders quoted at 40/1.

This Under 4.5 Goals in the footie looks a good option I have to say, of the 12 leagues I look at I can find 10 teams who for their last 22 games or more have gone under 4.5 goals. 58 teams have gone under 4.5 goals in their last 10 matches. You've got teams that haven't seen a 5 goal or more match all season.

Loads of teams in that division to bet on, Bury are good although on their day they can put some goals away. Your team as far as the EPL goes lead the way for consecutive games with 19 on the bounce.

I'm probably going to miss a bet over the weekend so have doubled up today and gone for USA over Norway at 1.05. I also figured there will be some days when I cant find a bet so I should get these whilst the olympics is on and they're about.

Norway were beat 8-0 by Canada in their opening game and USA beat the Swiss. If that goes well, by next will be Tomorrow morning Canada over Swiss at 1.07.

Got my betting of and running now, backed a Tennis player who was 5-2 up in the 2nd set at 1.05 for £5. Betting Balance now is £5.24 after betfair commission. Got a bit of spare time at the minute so might do a few of these bets a day to see how I go.

EDIT :

Bank upto 5.53 bet my bank of £5.24 somebody would take the 1st set when they were 4-1 up at odds of 1.05 again. That looks quite a safe bet if your able to watch the game and keep track of the points, I get the impression most players give up and wait for the next set when they are a couple of breaks down. Soderling not having it his own way now upto 1.35 as each player is holding serve. Good money maker if an outsider can keep pace in the 1st set, odds on Soderling's opponent have dropped from about 8 to 3 now. Easy money laying the outsider for profit now if you backed him before the start.

It's becoming clear that in running betting is definitely the way to go here if you can isn't it
