Author Topic: 10 Pound Challenge (Read 3498 times)

C · « **on:** August 14, 2010, 02:06:59 am »

Me and a load of mates are doing it in a facebook group, could transfer here too.

Have a ten pound budget on Friday afternoon - make 10 pounds worth of bets, games can be played Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Make a note of your profit, and then the next weekend your budget is again 10 pound, not the profit you made.

So a seasons worth of ten pound bets, just abit of fun and interesting to see who makes the most profit come the end of the season.

The lad who has made the most gets a tenner off everyone at the end.

Maybe abit long winded and similar to other threads on here but i can post mine anyway as a diary/log.

Everton bt Blackburn
Bolton bt Fulham
Luton bt Altrincham
Huddersfield bt Tranmere

5 pound returns 52 quid with Ladbrokes.

Derby bt Cardiff
Wigan bt Blackpool
Hereford bt Gillingham
Aldershot bt Southend

5 pound returns 120 quid with WilliamHill

Will send you a PM mate. I quite like the idea, but I fear you've put it too short notice this week. I'll start it next week.

first few weeks im doing long shots - but when all the top european leagues are in full flow, i'll be making more sensible bets.

as it is a kind of competition, you choose yourself what you feel will be most effective in order 'to win'
