 |
|
I have $17.63 in my betfair account. Instead of taking the easy option and topping it up with another deposit I'm starting a drip challenge to try and get it to $100. Inspired by Stone Cold's run..
First bet
Richmond v Fremantle
LAY Richmond by 39.5+
$1.15 @ $16
To win $1.15 |

it does seem a bit ridiculous any bet to win $1.15 but at this stage it is more about setting the challenge and seeing if it can be done..
over the first hurdle anyway... next bet to come soon |

Don't worry mate, I am going through the same thing!
I have invested a total of $500 in different spurts since December '05, and a week or so ago was down to my last $20. Really re-evaluated what I was doing. Took a positive approach and told myself that this first 'bank' that *could* be lost is money WELL SPENT on research, what I am good at picking, etc.
So, with my online account, I am going small steps. Sometimes a small mini-drip as well, say from $3 to $20, bank that, start again until I get to $500.
Currently I am on about $54, so there has been some positive progress.
I am sure you will do well achieving the goal that you have set yourself! |

| Personally, I think that is entirely feasable. Could take years though if you are betting patiently and conservatively. |

Haha, yeah I might just do that!
Actually, at 384/1, I wouldn't be far off - I'd settle for a 14 grand payout. |

can you put a multi on a team to qualify for to the next round and then win the world cup because that sounds like a way to automatically boost your odds easily? |
