That’s where it comes down to discipline and not getting greedy though – which is where most people fall down, trying to double up one last time, or wanting a quicker return, or chasing loses…

Unless you’re very committed to getting up to 10k in the 49 steps, it would seem sensible IMHO, once you get some way through this to split it into a couple of streams. Then keep doing so i.e. get to 400, spilt to 2 x 200 streams, if you get both to 400 again, split one out and keep one going, so 1 x 400 and 2 x 200 and so on.

Anyway, I’m up for taking a run at this over the summer. There are couple of rounds of international footy friendlies at the end month, but not sure of the fixtures and friendlies are more unpredictable of course. U-21 Euro champs are early June, followed by the ICC Champions Trophy then Wimbledon. Champions/Eurpoa League qualifying will start early July. So plenty of sport going on, and got to be lots of value in there.

It will be good if we can get a few people doing it and see how everyone gets on. Something to keep us all entertained in the summer.

In other news looks like Pochettino could be leaving Saints if the Chairman leaves.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I think Cortese will stay, he's just fluffing because he wants the Liebherr's to create a new plan for domination with him. We've hit the 5 year plan early (PL) so we need new targets. It just so happens that his contract is up, so there will always be speculation.

NC is a ruthless bastard but we need that. Both to stay. Please. Pretty please.

I hope they both do. Saints and the manager have both made very good impressions this season.

Agreed, very much appreciated Saints this season. They have also been a good team to bet on this season.

The £10 - £1,000 CHALLENGE. (15/05/2013)
A challenge we are running betting on VERY VERY "SAFE" bets with the aim of winning around 40 in a row and turning £10 into £1,000. Normal tips at a lot bigger odds will still be posted everyday so don't worry if this is not for you. Details how to do the challenge and how to turn £10 into £1,000 at the bottom of this post...

BET 7 (See Below) £18.90 GET INVOLVED NOW FROM ALMOST THE START!! Bet with bet365 -> http://bit.ly/Bet365-free200 Remember you can withdraw whenever you like, just go as far as you feel comfortable with, doesn't have to be £1,000 withdraw at £100 if you're happy with that!

EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL
>>BET 19.45: Benfica v Chelsea OVER 1 GOAL LINE, Odds - 1.100 (1/10)
**WHAT IT MEANS - If there's ONLY 1 Goal we will be refunded, If there's more than one goal the bet wins, I can see it being quite an open game, there will be a MINIMUM of 1 goal in my opinion and probably 3 or 4.
*How to find - Select the game found under "Wednesday's Matches" On the main screen scroll down 'til you see "ALTERNATIVE GOAL LINE" Select "Over 1" This is ONLY available with Bet365, Get an account below WITH THE LINK and recieve your £200 Welcome Bonus.
http://bit.ly/Bet365-free200 <----- £200 IN FREE BETS!
(Sorry if you're with another bookie but this IS the SAFEST bet of the day and I tell you EVERY DAY to get an account so you can follow our bets, get one now so you can get on today and in the future too!)

---------------
--------
>>>> The £10 - £1,000 Challenge <<<<
Start with £10 in a pot and put a 1.1 or 1/10 bet on daily. (Very very SAFE bets) It should take 49 days to reach £1,000. No strict rules except you should use your full stake every day! Which means the £10 you started with then all accumulated winnings added to the pot every day, which you then stake on the next 1/10 then the next and so on..

If you start with £10 and bet purely on 1/10's.. these are your winnings...
(we will bet on slightly better odds than 1/10 at times and get there a lot quicker than 49)

10 wins in a row at 1/10: £25.93
20 wins : £67.25
30 wins : £174.00
40 wins : £452.23
49 wins : £1,066.33 <- Our Target.
50 wins : £1172.97
Throwing a few 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9's in will speed it up quite a lot and instead of taking 49 bets it should take around 40! 49 is the absolute MAX! Also you can quit wherever you like whether it's £100 you're happy with or £1,000 that's upto you!

If you want to do your own feel free, Inplay betting is a great way to do it (eg. wait til 10 mins in play & then bet on over 0.5 goals, 1 or more in the game and you will normally get around 1/10) bet365 have the most games and inplay markets available!

***Bet365 and their £200 sign up bonus***
Bet365 are a MUST for doing this challenge so get an account now and take advantage of the £200 signup offer with the link below.

Click here -> http://bit.ly/Bet365-free200 <- MASSIVE signup bonus upto £/€200 with link! Essential to have an account so you can follow all our bets and NO OTHER bookie offers what bet365 offer. You will NOT be able to get on all of our bets without an account so they are a MUST. Also they are the best bookie around, Fantastic site who offer the best odds and markets meaning you will make more than your average bookie betting with them!
OK - I'm ready to study this thing...............

............ oh, great start - Bet365 blocked..............

Be careful using VPeeN's as well as if they show you as being in the US then they can/might/will close down your account. Thats what Paddy Power did to me. I explained I was in a hotel and therefore using a VPeeN but they weren't interested. Dicks!

If it shows you as being in the UK tho, obviously thats OK.

Try Hotspot Shield if in doubt as that lets you choose between the US, UK and elsewhere.

As for the betting I split mine into two separate bets - £18 on PSG that came in yesterday and £18 on Milan this afternoon.

Dortmund screwed my accumulator over the weekend tho. Dicks!

Paddy Power are a pain in the Arse. I signed up and places £50 in the account to get it matched by them and they didn't do it. When I called to complain apparently you can have an account overseas but you are not eligible for any promotions. I swiftly closed my account.

I've signed up with 365. Got a big bonus, won, won, won. Now finally the bonus is eligible (the winnings) for withdrawl.

Transferred some to Casino and got a $20ish free bonus. Great. Account balance is now at 300-something but withdrawable is the same $20ish they matched.

Apparently I need to wager $1000 winning and losing before bonus winnings are free to take. Different casino games are weighted differently - IE Roulette is 20%. Stake 10 dollars and the 1000 will only decrease by 2.

Just leave it in there mate and look at it as free bets. It is very rare I take money out as invariably I will be adding funds to it sooner or later.

Yup, they are feckers like that! But then again, you don't think you get up to £200 credit for nowt do you?

I have been using 365 for a few months now and must be easily over my £1,000 by now.

Be careful transferring between the sports bit and the casino, sometimes they let you take it one way (to the casino) but not back the other way (to sports).

I'm quite enjoying 'in play' at the minute, especially for these ~1.2 bets. I had a few over the weekend where my preferred team was 2 up at HT and the odds were still reasonable. Cash on and then cash back. Only £3-5 profit a bet but it's building up nicely. If Milan come in today I should have doubled my money in 4/5 bets. I can't remember exactly, need to put an excel sheet together.
