    Just for the laugh and even if I succeed to a point I imagine I'll bail out and cash my chips in before the stake gets too big. I'm not going to try to double the stake every bet, might be smaller, might be bigger depending.

    Bet 1 Oldjoesaid Chester 4.20. Place bet 1.90

    Betting on what?

    Was it all in every time or what type "system" were you using?

    What size was your final bet?

    Of course it's possible. Most will fail but as with all big odds someone will win sometime.

    best chance to do this imo would be something like betting 1 or more goals on footie

    at least then if it looks like you're gonna lose you can cut your losses

    If you backed Chelsea to score everytime they played at home leaving out the other top 4 teams that would leave 15 fixtures. If you did the same for the top 4 that would 60 bets a season, anybody know what the odds are for normally for scoring at home ?

    1.11 x 1.12 = 1.2432 x 1200 = 1491.84! 8 euro hardly worthy of an explanation!

    Bookies don't round up/down winnings. I'm just pointing out that it's strange they have in this case i.e. I don't believe him, it's happened here before people fabricating winning slips. If your gonna do it at least get the simple maths right!

    I presuming PP are displaying there odds correct to 2 decimal places, but paying out on the exact odds, as some of the rest of the winnings don't correlate exactly either.

    Paddy powers, and most bookies in the UK and Ireland use fractional bets.
    1.11 and 1.12 are just for reference. The actual odds would of been 1/4 for the double

    Hey guys, I have had a large percentage increase in this sort of thing.

    I'm not willing to go into the details of it publicly, so PM me if you want to hear about my story. :) The percentage increase is 11900%. I'm not rich by the way :P

    I'm not overly interested in how you did it to be honest, I'd be interested in your starting balance though.

    If you put €0.01 on a 1/2 shot they return €0.02 when bookies round up. So you can get evens on a 1/2 shot, but max stake is 1 cent :/

    I think Samich is referring to something like this.

    10c or 20c is the min bet so it's not possible no.

    Not the right kind of Gambling but when I was in Vegas on my last night I sat down on my way to bed at a Casino Hold'em table with $15 and said I'd keep betting that till I loose. Sometime later I stood up with the bones of $400.

    It can happen but I'd say to a very select few.

    My log is at €1080 now, starting balance was €100, although there was actually only €60 in the account when I started, I'd have thrown in the other €40 as needed, I may have to yet if I hit a bad run :pac:

    Wouldn't have been able to do it with €1 though.

    Boyles used to accept 1 cent bets, I'd imagine they still do.

    You had two very juicy soccer bets at short prices though, one of which came in, if you used that €200 with a staking plan and stuck to the horses I reckon you'd be flying ;)
