$20 challenge

[nobbyiscool]

$25 has gone on geelong over 39.5 points @ $1.37

another win $25 turned into $33.75.

after having an initial "qualifier multi" to try and gain entry to the challenge when i only had $5 in the account which failed - this is still the initial 20 bucks that i deposited with the express purpose of taking this challenge.

that initial 20 bucks has now turned into $101.95

 

[Oaksnaf]

Good work nobby.

Would be about time. To cut the bank in half, and have next bet at $50 instead of $100.

If it loses. $50 again (Bank #2) and off you go again.

 

[nobbyiscool]

yeah, i've already been doing that for a while - when i got to 50 bucks i started splitting them in half... it's been $25 bets since then (just as well cos i had a big fail last nite )

the bets will probably be $33 bets and then if i'm lucky enough to get to $200 i'll start going with really serious ones.

the problem is that most of my money has been made betting on football (soccer) - the season ends very soon... i don't know what i'm going to do then! nrl and afl are decidedly harder to bet on.

 

[Lensen]

I reckon there's money to be made taking $1.10-$1.15 on Centrebet's "pick your own line" feature, and multi-ing up all eight games.

I could be wrong but I'm going to use the $20 challenge to test it.

This week:

Collingwood +26.5
Carlton +38.5
West Coast +34.5
Essendon +54.5
Port Adelaide +40.5
Sydney +28.5
Geelong -15.5
St Kilda +30.5

Total odds $2.323. We'll see how it goes.

Week one wins.

Collingwood by 78.5
Carlton by 34.5
West Coast by 21.5
Essendon by 11.5
Port by 66.5
Sydney by 47.5
Geelong by 27.5
St Kilda by 70.5

Given you can only bet in whole dollar amounts, I don't get this bet.

Well those of us who don't enjoy being bent over and ripped off use betfair, and on betfair you can bet in what ever units you want.

 

[nobbyiscool]

well, my betting amounts are all over the place tonight.

$25 on ajax to beat sparta rotterdam at $1.46

$15 on az alkmar to beat twente - i don't actually tink they'll win... but when the ladder leader is paying $4.75, i reckon u get on!

$30 on juve to beat lecce at $1.35

$30 on milan to beat catania at $1.57

fingers crossed

 

[Ron]

Ok next bet.

$174.16 on Juventus @ $1.35

 

[PHX]

Week one wins.

Interesting work, Lenny29. Not sure it would be a long term success story but certainly promising early.

 

[johnnyhoward]

Enjoy that 80 cents

A win's a win Up to $20.80.

Lenny, I remember SportOdds used to offer those choose your own line bets around 3-4 years ago but stopped because they were getting owned. Good to see Centrebet are now offering them. Like teasers in the NBA, they can be profitable but perhaps not for all 8 games every week.

 

[Ron]

time to start again.

I know man they ruined my multi, they did it last time against Chievo up 3-2 and let them score in the 91st minute

Where'd ya get that price pistol?

I got on them last night thinking i was getting good money at $1.20.

I gotta get out of my TAB account and into the real odds.

Thinking of signing up to sportingbet, keep hearing about the sport 927 promo.

Centrebet pick your own line?
Got to admit that looks like an easy way to make cash.

 

[pistol17]

Bank 1
$50 on Boston @ $1.57 vs Orlando = WinProfit28.50 Bank78.50

Bank 2
$50 (refer a friend free bet) same as above. Can't see Boston losing 2 in a row at home and the $1.57 is too good to ignore so doubling up here. Result: Win Profit28.50
