The Betting Thread Aka £2 to £2000 challenge

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
