Ok Guys, I know there are a few of us on here who like a bet, so here is a challenge for us all. My best effort is 4 in a row!

You need to turn £2 into £2000.

You do this my doubling up each time. It only needs 10 even money shots, or 17 1.5 shots to work.

I am starting with a bank of £10 - this allows me 5 shots at doing this.

Use this thread to post your selections and your progress!

Stole this from another forum basically, where a guy had £800 then lost it on boxing.
All bets have to be singles

Im sure most of you can guess who I had money on today, £2 on Spurs to win Laughing out loud

As I put a tenner on Madrid earlier I'll start with that. If I lose it straight off then I'm finished from the start Oops

No whitey! You just put £2 on, then whatever you win goes straight on the next bet etc etc

I said I have £10, as in Im going to have 5 different goes, because I usually lose on the first bet anyway.

Just read the other forum, and the guy got up to £847, put it on Audley Harrison to win a fight which he lost Laughing out loud
