The 'Easy' Way To Make £10,000!

Hi,

Although, of course, it will not be guaranteed I am going to be attempting to make money in an 'easy' way.

All you need to do, as this is the football forum, would be to start with £10 and place a bet on something which is dead certain to happen (e.g. man city are dead certain to score or it is dead certain there will be less than 6 goals in that match - of course, nothing is dead certain but is 99% going to happen). The odds on this sort of bet would be approximately 0.2 to 0.3 (very low).

So once you have won your first bet you place all your money you have won on your second bet (betting in the same way) and so on, so your money accumulates.

I admit this is a slow process and there is no guarantee of the money, but let me break it down for you. Starting with £10 and betting on 0.2 and 0.3 odds this is what you should expect:

25 bets - £18.54
50 bets - £34.37
75 bets - £63.72
100 bets - £118.14
125 bets - £219.02
150 bets - £406.05
175 bets - £762.79
200 bets - £1395.64
225 bets - £2587.44
250 bets - £4796.96
275 bets - £8893.30
300 bets - £16487.68

Of course the greater the risk you take the higher the odds and money back. Anyway, good luck :smile:
Yeah but what are the odds of getting over 200 straight bets correct, even dead certs?

One loss and you lose everything.

The problem with this sort of thing is that if something is 99% certain then 1 in every 100 events will turn out differently. So by the time you've got to £118.14 you're more than likely to have lost it all. The house (nearly) always wins.

Yes very true, but it is a nice idea!
There are tipster accounts on Facebook and twitter that do this kind if thing. Something like £10 to a £1000

Even then it's rare that they get that far
There's no such thing as a dead certain event - that's why it's called gambling.

Unless you're a match fixer by trade?

Since you're always going in all or nothing and your calculation has 200 bets but you guesstimate 99% certain - that means you're going to lose twice on average before you get to 200 which will leave you with ZERO.

The odds of winning 300 bets in a row at odds of 1.3 are: 0.000000000000000000000000000000000066. Good luck.

Well, I meant 0.3 by your use of decimals, which in bookie terms is 1.3.
