[Archived] The £10 Challenge

[Eddie]

I've been doing this with some friends of mine for a while now and seeing as we have quite a few on here who like to place the odd bet now and again I thought it might be fun to do. The rules are that you have a £10 fund to bet with and can place bets on anything you like (be that football, other sports or things like politics and entertainment), you simply have to post your bet before that even begins and whoever makes the most over say a month long period will win (not that there will be any prize apart from the reward of success).

Anyone interested?

*Realise this might be best in ICBINF, so admin/mods may like to move it there*

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Count me in.

Are we starting tonight/tomorrow or April 1st - 30th?

[ffan]

I have done one of these with my mates, great crack.

Would definitely be intrested in doing one again, if that's alright?

[LeChuck]

Any particular bookies? I'll put half a foot in, haven't decided yet.

[Eddie]

Count me in.

Are we starting tonight/tomorrow or April 1st - 30th?

We can say starting tonight and running until the end of the month, so can give people a chance to include the Champions League games if they want to.

Any bookies. Just post the amount you've bet and the price that you've got.

[Hughesy]

Real cash or just for fun?

[Eddie]

Well you can bet real cash, as I will be. I suppose if you want you don't have to actually deposit 10 pounds and can just put your stake in and see what it would have won and then keep track of the 10.

So, if I'm right...you're out of the game if you don't win tonight...

Yep, big risk. He'll either be sitting pretty at the top of the table after one day or the first one to bow out.

Does this have to be on results? Or can it be on first goalscorers etc?

I've just put the same on for £2.69 (had change in my account) but then looked at Watford's recent record and I am more than a little worried. If it comes off I'll be thanking you for £80!

I just checked out Watfords record now...

[Eddie]

Yep, have to say that Palace are probably a bit safer, but if I had to put money on it I'd go for the draw.

If it helps Eddie, maybe everyone who is playing could pm me their balance and profit/losses at the end of each evening and I'll make a table or something?
