Had a little dabble on a system where you back massively odds on teams, usually in cup games, and I chose Euro 2020 qualifiers.
If you start with a fiver and get 100 right at odds of roughly 1/10 it returns an incredible 70K
Starts off mega slow, but after 30 goes you are up to 90 quid, after 50 it's 600 quid, after 75 it's 6,500 quid...
So far I have done 14 successfully in 3 days...

Seen stories of people building up thousands through "safe" low odds bets from a £10 or so starting point only to lose 4/5/6k on one bet eventually.

Won't you get stopped at some point by a maximum bet limit?

You will get caught out eventually. I knew a punter once who did something similar with in running betting. Did his entire bank on a 1/66 shot. Backed a team at 3-0 up with 13 minutes to go and they ended up drawing 3-3. |

me and a work colleague once had a ' system 'where you just had to pick a match for there to be a goal. Could pick any League in the World basically.
We put 100 quid a piece in and began say the likes of Man City V Cardiff at 1/80
That would come in , then we'd say have Liverpool v Huddersfield 1/100 .
You get the idea.
After alternatively picking just one game every weekend it came to week 17 and we maybe had got up to 300 quid , so a healthy 50 quid profit each.
Can't exactly remember the opposition but Dortmund were 1/12 just to win the game, so we put the 350 quid on at say 1/80 again to win 4 quid.
0-0
Never ever believe in a surefire way to win. There is no such thing.

Some good points raised, that I have considered, and TBH if it gets to around 500 quid will almost certainly cash in, either fully or partially, and start again, maybe run 2 or 3 side by side.

I had a tenner on Scotland tonight against Kazakhstan. You'd like to think they'd win, odds a 1/2, but I'll no doubt get fucked over.
Gone for any matches tonight matty? Scots are decent money, Germany at 1/10, Belgium and Holland @ 1/50 is obviously very poor. I avoided going Wales and Poland.

That is the thing Matty , you need to stick by an amount and be prepared to say that is my lot. The one i pointed out, we aimed to get to 500 quid and then share the pot so a profit of 150 each. Looks so simple, pick any game out of about 150 games for there to just be 1 goal scored. What can possibly go wrong !! Tennis is another sport with loads of 1/66, 1/33 in a 2 horse race. All the Grand slams throw up a massive upset each year. Eventually as somebody else has said, say you are putting 750 quid on a 1/33 the bookies might offer you 200 at that price and 550 quid at 1/50. They tend to crap themselves and hedge their bets. As long as you have the money to lose it is a harmless gamble but believe you me matey there is no such thing as a cert. France were 1/50 last weekend and only got the winner i think in the 87th minute. Don't get greedy is the motto |

Got Germany at 1/6 ( 1.16) which is the last of a 6 fold I placed on Sunday, for Monday/Tue matches... The other 5 all came in, so the Germany result nets me 22 quid and is Bet No 14... Will then look at CONCAF and Asian qualifiers. Nothing I fancy in FA cup so will steer well clear. |

14/14 for me.
Not a lot catches my eye.
Was gonna roll it on Puerto Rico, but they are almost as shit as their opposition.

I'm the opposite of winning.
Ask me and you'll know what you shouldn't pick.
In Sweden we have a betting list of matches called "Lången". You have to pick at least 3 games, any of them, and you simply multiply the odds on them to get a total.
Example:
Man City - Burton 1 1.15
Bradford - Stoke 2 1.95
Salernitana - Spal X 2.35
It gives 1.15 x 1.95 x 2.35 = 5.27 times the money you spend.
My brother did that for many weeks several days a week and had a winning rate of about 75%, 3 times of 4 he picked the right three results.
So I decided to try it. I did for 53 times and wasn't able to pick three #@$#@&# results once, not once.
Not even when I became desperate and picked only top favourites, like Man City, Juventus, PSG etc. 1.10 x 1.15 x 1.05 ...
it didn't help.
