I guess a lot of you guys have heard about how easy it is to become a millionaire with betting. Just place one bet each day with odds of 1,02 starting with 100,- Euro (or whatever your currency might be), go all-in every time and you’ll be a millionaire around 15 months later, sounds easy huh ? It’s not. I have yet to see anybody, who publicly provided his bets, to achieve that. There is many reasons for failing to make it, but the most common is probably impatience.
I doubt I will be the first to achieve it, but will give it a try nonetheless. It goes like this:

I won’t play exactly a 1,02 every day, there might be days with 1,01 and days with 1,05, but I will try to have a 1,02 on average. If there is nothing appealing on a given day, I won’t rush with a bet. Same goes if there is two or more good bets on the same day, I might play multiple.
I will not play these bets for real – they are just on paper - because while it’s technically doable, I don’t think anybody is able to mentally go through with it till the end. You will only lose 100,- Euro whatever happens, but in your mind, you will lose more. Already in the 5-figure range, most people will fold mentally, let alone at later stages, where you would have to put 900k+ on some scrubs doing sports.
The logistics might be a problem later on as well. Bookmaker limits might be too low, not enough volume on Betfair too and with shopping for the best odds, you would often have to withdraw and deposit huge amounts with bookmakers. Most people don’t have 900k lying around.
So this is more a fun challenge, everyone can feel free to follow the bets though.
For bets with Betfair, I will calculate with a flat commission of 5%. Only pre-match bets for easy tracking for those interested.
