    I made myself a promise to avoid betting on the early rounds of the league cup this year. Too many banana skins with under strength sides

    Going for Sheffield Wed vs Blackpool tomorrow. My last bet came in so I'll have £18 invested in this. Blackpool a better side with plenty of fire power but away from home, so fancy this to be high scoring as I'm sure Wednesday won't lie down and take it

    And so it's back to square one again.

    No doubt the bookies cleaned up on this game this evening. I seriously doubt anyone would've backed a 0-0 draw.

    Thankfully it's pay day on Tuesday so I can reload & start all over again.

    It seems this idea is not a winner you need to win at least 200 times to win 10k on the odds..Even at 1/33 its not worth the risk.I am trying one though which after two games is showing a 52.90 profit its a £2.75 treble on celtic,man utd,and brighton.I will back this all season as i think celtic and utd are  big favs for there lges and think brighton represent great value.Will be good if i show profit after the season.

    How do you work that out? the original idea was 1 bet a week at odds of about Evens or a shade of Odds on then just keep re-betting all of your winnings for 10 weeks, people are getting carried away by doing trebles etc which gives you more chances of the bet going down. so thats only 10 bets i dont know where the 200 wins what you mention comes from.

    £10 - £10k, remember 1 bet at a time to cut down the risk of multiple bets going down. for easy calculations lets just use EVENS to work it out. £10 @ EVENS over 10 weeks.

    WEEK 1 = £20
    WEEK 2 = £40
    WEEK 3 = £80
    WEEK 4 = £160
    WEEK 5 = £320
    WEEK 6 = £640
    WEEK 7 = £1280
    WEEK 8 = £2560
    WEEK 9 = £5120
    WEEK 10 = £10240

    The bet i do for this is the both teams to score market which most of the odds are about 10/11, 5/6. thats where people are getting confused, i agree just doing long odds on singles would take forever, the idea was one bet a week at around them odds, whether it be football, horses, tennis or any other sport as long as you can find one bet a week which shouldnt be that hard to get up. the only thing is having the balls to put on the big money the further you go, about 2 year ago i got it upto roughly £1200 but bottled out & put on 3 x £400 trebles & on each bet one team let me down. i still hate DERBY, ABERDEEN & EBSFLEET haha. but all i actually lost was my original £10, so i keep telling myself, anyway good luck with your system.

    Hi Lucy, 

    Great idea to start with and also good fun as well. Cardinal sin when punting is to change your mind or system. The fact you got upto £1200 playing the single market was the way forward. Soon as you changed the system, it went wrong. :( My suggestion to all using this system is to not worry about the price or returns. A winner is a winner at ANY odds. to find an even money shot every week seems simple but its quite different if you are restricting yourself to even money shots.  A man recently turned a few hundred pounds into thousands and thousands using this sytem. As his bankroll got bigger he started to bet heavier on long odds on shots like nadal or jokavic in the tennis. He became famous because of this and the firm he was punting with was posting the progress of his bets... with his consent of course! Apparently he was quoted saying that his last bet would be Jokavic and win lose or draw he was quitting a winner. That bet won too! I dont know the latest on him whether he did quit or not. lol. So... "don't worry about the price just find 1 BANKER a week.... It might make ya famous! Good luck all.
