Betting People - £5-£500 Challenge 15:08 - Jan 22 with 18647 viewsJ2BLUE

Anyone up for this? We did a £10-£500 challenge on Betfair forums years ago and I was the first to complete it although sadly I only posted my bets in advance and didn't actually place them so the profit was non existent. It's a cheap bit of fun and if anyone pulled it off it would be great.

Note to people waiting to pounce on losing challenges: It's very likely we won't complete it. It's possible we'll all lose bet 1 but it's a bit of fun not an investment.

Bet 1 for me: Smarkets Arsenal £5 @ 1.42 for £2.06 profit after commission or challenged gubbed

Not all bets will be odds on as that will guarantee failure.

Anyone else in?

Putting the thread on ignore is a bit much isn't it?

You make it sound like I committed a crime here.

Now you've said That though, I won't be giving any tips to you again though


Jeez, you got on your high horse because I said I prefer not to be influenced in advance - something which I've mentioned many times before.

I made it sound nothing like what you said..

And if it wasn't already apparent, I don't want or need them (as it happens I don't follow anyone's tips except a couple of owners, as you should know).

I didn't mean it like that - apologies.

I mean I won't be giving you horses I fancy for Cheltenham again as you have said you try desperately to avoid as such. Which of course I didn't know when I first posted.

Thanks for the apol. Mine was meant to be semi-humorous but maybe didn't come across like that. Anyway, my memory's shoite so I'll probably have forgotten the one that I saw by next week!

I would have lost half of my bank on GB but I didn't realise Barca match clashed so was waiting for that to finish. By the time it finished the GB game was over.

And that's me out yet again at the 2nd hurdle.

The 7th and 8th TDs come quickly in the last quarter to ruin my under 7.5 bet.

I'll have another go next week

New Bank: £9.05 and £3.75 in bonus funds

Jesus was boosted to 3.75 apparently and because he scored again I got paid out again in bonus funds. Swansea also won the bookings bet thanks to a 93rd minute yellow.

Decent start.

£1 Julio Jones FTS @ 9.0, plus double payout as a free bet if he scores again during the game.

Boom. *



£2.50 wins £3.75 = £6.25








* I actually had a 10er on with 888sport as I fancied some free bets if I made an account and this was my opening bet.

I may be wrong but I thought the idea of this challenge was it is all or nothing?

So the last bet may be £250 at even money for the £500

It can be but I prefer to break it up a bit. Each to their own. Hopefully several will do it with different strategies and we can all pick up some ideas/tips from each other.

My bank is £5.05, £3.75 in bonus funds and a £1 bet at the moment.

Best way to make cash is back my Cheltenham horse (LOOK AWAY RYORRY IF YOU ARE READING THIS). Now 11/1. Backed by me every 2 days since November. Worth 4 figures to me. Every free bet I've had from different bookmakers has added to the fund. Would love it to win. On the racing forum I'm on (not Rs), there's a fair few of us on.

Thinking of going to the festival just to watch him.









Obviously it can lose but I think he will win. Hence the constant backing of him from 33s downwards. I first mentioned him on here on December.


Horse is called Alpha Des Obeaux for the RSA chase

Cheers i'll have a look. I have 2 weeks off starting on the Monday of Cheltenham week.

If you have a titanbet account they have an offer of bet £10 on the Super Bowl and get £10 free bet in play. Valid until 23:30. Pats are 1.7 and can be layed £9.88 @ 1.54 for a £10 free bet for a 31p qualifier.

Good bit on interest on anytime TD or something.


Edit: Betfred offer no longer valid.

Cheers for that.

Got some free bets with 888sport which I'm hoping will be credited before the SB starts. Though the T & Cs say up to 72 hours which is irritating. I'll probably just stick them all (or most) on my Cheltenham horse each way.

Yeah definetely have a look. Done a few doubles with a horse in the grand national. Both of them win would be interesting. Would be a 5 figure payout increidbly!
