Bitcoin Forum

Hey everyone,

I've been lurking around here for a little while now, and I figured now was as good a time as any to post up this thread.

I've been checking out several other gambling forums, and I was intrigued by one thread in particular where a sports bettor turned 200 euros into over 10,000 euros within a matter of days by compounding his winnings.  (http://community.betfair.com/football/go/thread/view/94070/29824885/zezes-challenge?liveView=0&pg=1)

I understand this is very unlikely, but it still got me thinking: What if I could turn $10 into $1000 by compounding my winnings?  It'll be a challenge, but I'm up for it, and I think I'll be able to do it.  And I'll document all my progress on this forum.  Here is my plan:

-Bet on the "Over 0.5 Goals" in soccer, after doing research on each game
-Compound all of my winnings until I get to $1000

The odds for all of my bets will probably be under 1.10, but I'm fine with that, as long as I win.  Most soccer games do not end in 0-0, but anything can happen in sports; that's why I'll do my research and look at stats for each game I bet on.

I don't know how long this will take me, but stay tuned, and wish me luck!  I'll be sure to update this thread every day with my bets.

First bet:

Albirex Niigata v Brunei DPMM FC
Over 0.5 Goals
1.04
Stake: $10

better bet on under 4.5 goals or under 3.5 which gives you more stability , 0-0 happens now a days quite often ..

GOODLUCK

I haven't had much luck with under bets, but I'll consider it.  Only around 10% of all soccer games on any given day end 0-0, so my goal is to avoid those.

Thanks for your support!

i tried that too, with very "sure" bets ... i have failed after a few  ;D

I appreciate your feedback. However, I won't be betting blindly on "sure" bets, I'll be doing my research. Also, I've seen this work before, so I know I can do it.

If the normal odds are 1 in 10 games end 0-0 then the payout should be 1.10. As you see, getting a payout as bad as 1.04 or 1.05 you're giving the house 50% everytime.

You have a better chance picking 10 spreads, parlaying it and calling it a night. No way you even make it to $50 unfortunately here.

You make a good point. I'll consider picking games with odds of over 1.10.  That might mean that I bet live about 20 minutes into a 0-0 game, so that I get the over 1.10 odds.

These are always a fun type of gambling challenge. Takes a lot of luck to turn $10 to $1000 but I've seen it done. Good luck to you!  :)

Thanks for the support!  I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

Good luck on your challenge bro. 8)

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

Are you going to all-in every bet?

The only way imo, no half-measures.

Wouldn't it be better to just bet at high odds at dice and compundly increase it?

Good luck to your challenge. I watch matches all the time, 0-0 is more likely than you think. Choose your matches wisely.

Just place a bet on a team that you think will win easily. Soccer was unpredictable.

Do you bet your whole bankroll each time on 10% chance winners? seems like you will need a lot of luck to get from $10 to $1000, gl though!

I am doing something similar but betting on one of the teams to score 1 or more goals because the odds are much higher around 1.30 or so. Also, I was able to turn .01 to over .140 in 3 days doing this, betting pre-game also live.

And for 0-0 occurring very rarely, well Bayern Munich has all the firepower in the world however their last match ended 0-0 with odds of over 2 goals being at 1.10 before the game.

I will most likely go all in up until around $100.  I honestly don't have the guts to go all in at that point.

I'd rather do the Over 0.5 Goals, because I feel that's more predictable than who is going to win the match.

Thanks for the support!  I will probably bet my whole bankroll up until I get to $100.

No, because in dice, the house has an edge, no matter what.  If I can maintain a good win percentage, I can have an edge over the house.

think if u are at the last bet of ur target and u lose..............that would give u real pain..

You might have an edge but the chances of getting $10 to $100 are still hugely out of your favour unless your edge is very large. Just saying.  No harm in having fun though :)

Yeah that would be bad lol

With proper money management, I think I can do it.  And I'll make sure to have fun while making money :)

If you dont go all in at anytime your chances are pretty good with +ev bets ya, have fun

Yeah I'm not going to go all in once I reach $100.  I think that'll be safer.

First bet has won!  Goal in the 61st minute.  My bankroll is now $10.40 :)

consider other less known options.

Like red cards, penalties, half time, clean sheets, and both teams to score options.

Sometimes they might give a good reward.

Second bet:

FK Varnsdorf U21 v FK Teplice U21
Over 0.5 Goals
1.01
Stake: $10.40

That's a good idea! What do you recommend?

Red cards and penalties are rare. But more unlikely in games that are not with teams known by their violence, or in decisive games.

Clean sheet might be a good option if you know one team is going to make defence play, or if one team is much better in defence than in offense.

But all depend on the game

Yes good point.  Thanks for your advice. I'll check out sportsbooks that offer bets on red cards and penalties.

Second pick won!  My balance is now $10.50!

What is the point of betting on odds 1.01?

For $0.1 you are risking your whole balance, not the smartest decision.

I'm just trying to have a little fun, and see if I can make it to $1000.  Thanks!

You were right on chennai vs mumbai i loosed 5$ only because i thought goals would be under 2.5 and lol 4 goals already in 45 mins :(

Now i wish you good luck :)

People have tried something very similar in Forex or in Binary options trading and basically its very easy to turn $10 into $1000 or $1000 into $100000 if you have a 5-6 sequential winning streak. But its very hard to achieve because its hard to get that many wins in a row.

I agree, but with binary options, the house usually has a large edge. One of my goals here is to gain an edge over the house.
