    €1 returns €3.08


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,457 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    My local bookies has a £2 minimum bet, so:
    £1 bet with a friend on a head toss. Guessed heads.
    Came out heads.
    Won £2.

    Try winning 20 coin tosses in a row though, makes this sound a little bit more difficult all of a sudden


  • Registered Users Posts: 242 ✭✭bigdaddyliamo


    I don't normally go near bookies but this tickled me so I'm in:)
    I put €1 on Bohs to beat Galway, which should lead to a whopping return of €1.30

    With this money I shall buy and sell you all...bwahhhhhhh haaa haaa

    That's true...doable all the same and not quite as random.

    Since everyone is throwing up there bets may aswell do so, personally gonna go for two to start off myself:

    Bohs and Fingal/Draw double €1 returns €1.87

    Drogheda/Draw and Monaghan/Draw €1 returns €3.06


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,032 ✭✭✭✭L'prof


    Nobody's gonna be a millionaire :mad: There are maximum bets for all singles and multiples (on PP at least). The maximum you can bet on an evens football match (single) seems to be €1005, if you have a treble adding up to about evens you can bet ~€3000.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,457 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Assuming you double your money each time, you'd get
    €1
    €2
    €4
    €8
    €16
    €32
    €64
    €128
    €256
    €512
    €1024
    €2048
    €4096
    €8192
    €16384
    €32768
    €65536
    €131,072
    €262,144
    €524,288
    €1,048,576

    Of course, how many people are willing to risk losing 10k+ on one bet?

    Right so my first is a double. Inter to beat Juventus at home and Leinster to beat Ospreys at home. Both tomorrow night. Odds are 2.1 for the double.

    Round 1 success for me. :)

    Now to assess tomorrows options. (I really should be on a flight to Fuerteventura at 7:20 in the morning but thanks to Mount Buzzkill I have a bit more time on my hands).


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭yesno1234


    I'm in as well. Have a few accumulators so wait to see if any of them come out before depositing more money(seems all I f**kin do is deposit money these days).

    Will post my bet probably tomorrow.

    I don't think betting exchanges like Betfair have maximum bets, doubt we will get that far anyway so we can worry about that when the time comes


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,249 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep

    €1.00 Double
    Sevilla v Sporting Gijon

    They don't have maximum bets on Betfair as such, it just depends how much money people have backed/layed on certain bets.
