    It's not like me to do something like this but looking for a bit of a change and some excitement. Basically you start off with, let's say, €5. If your first bet comes through, then you put the entire winnings on the next bet and so on, until, hopefully, you reach the tenth bet.

    If you make 10 bets at odds of 1.50, you should win €288 from your initial €5. If you make 10 bets at odds of 2.00, you should win €5120 from your initial €5.

    To make it a little bit more interesting, I was going to start off with an outlay of €50, so have 10 attempts running simultaneously.


    Good idea/bad idea?

    Been tried plenty of times with no-one going the distance.

    Best of luck though.

    Ha.

    So what's the best approach to this market wise? I'm contemplating the over 1.5 market, especially a few minutes after kick off as the price seems to drift quite quickly.

    I'm thinking of setting up a similar thread once I get going.
    However, it'd be more of an account of all my bets and a record of my potential winnings.
    This is allowed, right?
