    After landing home from the pub on Friday night with a few too many onboard and stupidly losing €20 playing Blackjack on the PP app, I decided to finally give this a bash and try and it hit him where it hurts, getting €10 up to €10,000 or as near as I can.

    The pressure will be big if I get up to any real amounts, but I suppose you just have to bear in mind that all you can really lose is €10, everything else is winnings.

    Anyway, here goes... on bet 3 so far, I'll give a bet by bet breakdown in the posts below. Feel free to comment or play along. Here we go!

    Yeah, discipline is definitely gonna be the key, but I plan on allowing myself withdrawals at certain milestones to ease the pressure, €100 at €1k, €200 at €2k etc.

    I think the cricket match was abandoned due to rain, got refunded the stake anyway, so that bet is void.

    Bet 3 - R Madrid Castilla vs Recreativo Huelva, over 1.5 goals - 1/7

    Stake: €12.42

    LOST!

    R Madrid B 0-1 Recreativo

    Agghh I hope you didn't start today!

    The team who've averaged 4.25 goals in each of their games so far failed to get the one that would have got us over the line.

    Back to the drawing board :-( will start again in a couple of days.
