Your winning streak was that time you ran across the pitch during the England v Australia 20-20 match, mind you that cart wheel was going a bit too far.
How about a little stunt at Wimbledon this year, perhaps a fosbury flop over the centre net whilst shouting New Balls at the top of your voice?
Forget your Isner/Mahut 11 hour marathon record-breaker at Wimbledon this week...I'm not going to bed until I've smashed the all-time Sky Poker DYM win streak- which I'm relaibly informed is 23!!!!

Can I take the bluff-fold option instead please Rich?
just saw the challenge on sky tv ..... will give this a go .....only got £3.28..... i know the challenge is double up but my target is £32.80 Andy Bee Posted by ANDYBEE
Well after playing to many DYMs and getting no profit just tredding water ..... enter a free roll finishing 7th
moved from starting point
£3,28 to £9.80
ROI 298% .... and about the same for sky in rake ..... i think ill hold at this point befor i muck up
target was £32.80 but i hope you run a july one and ill try that
i know an ROI of 298 % is good but if you start low its easy .... so im not realy counting that but if i can do the same in july that will give a target of about £30 so lets see if you run it next month
br now £76.04 from £41.54 so overall great, but could have been well into £80s if hadn't tilted a bit after the 2p/4p "creative" play. think I'll stop here, as I'm getting beaten by air at the moment. AJ suited beaten by 36 this morning after going all in after flop (£2) after flopping pair of aces. they had pair of 3s after flop and got fh!
hope everyone goes well on the last day and a bit of the month. don't try to push it as I did as you could come a cropper.
That toniiiiight's gonna be a good, good niii-iiight!"
...so said the Black Eyed Peas. and nothing could be more pertinent to the final day of my June bankroll challenge.
Yes- ths evening from 7 I willl be attempting the seemingly impossible: To take my £156 to £200 using a combo of DYMs, MTTs and cash.
I'm playing the Rich Pickings MTT at 8.30 and possibly the Take On Tikay as well.
Look out later at 10 or 11pm as things get desperate and I start to blow my bankroll discipline to hit the target. (30 quid DYMs anyone???) Yes, it will be the equivalent of sending David James up the pitch for a corner...and we all know what happened there, don't we..?
Having consulted the powers that be, the decision is we're going to rest the bankroll challenge for July and instead do a few 'one night only' challenges whenever I do a Play The Presenter night.
I'll be keeping this thread updated though as to the state of my own bankroll and I oviously would love everyone else to keep contributng towards it and telling us all where your own bankroll stands.
Also, if anyone wants to set themselves a challenge so we can follow their progress then by all means stick it on here anyway!
More details to follow on these 'one night only challeneges". Might call them 'one night stands'. There's a thought...

Going for the double figure as we speak!
Forget your Isner/Mahut 11 hour marathon record-breaker at Wimbledon this week...I'm not going to bed until I've smashed the all-time Sky Poker DYM win streak- which I'm relaibly informed is 23!!!!
Put the coffee on, I'm here all night!
My Jacks ran into Aces!
A 9 game DYM cashing streak has come to an end.
Bankroll up to £155.70.
£44.30 to get to my target.
Right- more DYMS!
Arrgh! Running out of time!
Bankroll currently £147
Still need £53 and I've got 3 nights to do it in!
DYMs seem to be my best bet at the moment as I've cashed in 10 out of the last 13.
So that's where I am right now if anyone wants to come say hello.
Alias- ricorford
Lol- you have no idea how tempting that is, Gareth.
Stop luring me over to the Dark Side of bankroll mis-management!
No, I'm sticking with my £5 DYMs.
2 out of 2 tonight. Currently going for the hat-trick before retiring for the evening.
Current bankroll- £151.50
Will either be £146 or £156 by close of play tonight...
Br- £156.
Final crack at it - Wednesday night. See you there!
Gotta bless the girl for trying
