    Looks like a good bet. Hearts are terrible ATM.
    Zagreb are 4-0 up on agg tho, so might not be too up for it.

    Thats what I'm thinking, if they have sent a shadow team and are happy to loose 1 or 2-0 late on thats no good.

    I saw a thread on another forum, with a system a little similar to this. Although it had elements of martingale.

    The guy used stakes of x, 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 12.5x so total possible loss of 33.5 points. He started with €10, so his stakes were predetermined as: €10, €20, €40, €60, €80, €125 (max loss: 335.00).

    He would have his first €10 on a bet between 8/11 and 5/4. If it lost the next bet would be €20. If the second bet won he would add the winnings to his account, and revert back to €10 for the next bet.

    e.g. bet 1 - €10 @ Evens lost; -10
    bet 2 - €20 @ 10/11; wins 18.18 - 10, so 8.18 added to bank.
    next bet is bet 1 again - €10 @ 4/5 etc.

    At one stage he had 108 bets, with only 59 winning (54% SR), but was 600+ in profit.

    Im going to give this a go here if thats ok?

    That's not a bad idea Chonaic. I might open a new thread and start this to see how I get on, unless you are thinking about starting one?

    If you guys want a shot at this, you have to stop betting in every single game. Have a look at the fixtures for the next week and pick out 2 or 3 games that you think you can pick a winner on. I'm going to give this a go, have a few ideas, will think about it before commiting!

    Im doing something similar at the moment. It is only my first attempt.

    The betting pattern is 10, 15, 22.5, 33.75, 50.63....
    So i started at 10 euro, I got 22 euro back and my next bet was 15 euro.
    I won my second bet and got 61 back and my next bet is 32.

    Each time I am retaining some of the winnings. So far after 3 bets placed, I have won 46 euro. But, if I lose a bet I will go back to the beginning and bet 10 euro.

    I have attached an image of an excel sheet if anyone wants to see it.

    Sorry if my explanation isn't great. The advantage over this method compared to the 2 - 2000 method is that each time you are retaining some of your winnings even though it will take longer to get to 2000
