I'm not backing a 1.01 this low down it's not worth it!

Suggestion. If you get near the £10k be very selective over the matches that you pick. Especially teams that play 4-5-1 formations.

As in, don't pick those teams.....

Haven't got the exact numbers but I believe that there were exactly 200 hat tricks scored in the 16 seasons to 08/09, but teams that played 4-5-1 were about 15% more likely to have a hat trick scorer that 4-4-2 or other formations.

ps 200 is a very small number to assess really.

Logically, that would make sense, having only 1 'striker / dedicated scorer' as opposed to two. Definitely well worth remembering, H...

Not being cynical, but this type of thread haapens all of the time on Betfair and nearly always fails. One guy laid 80 outsiders in a row and when a 50/1 shot won all gains were wiped out in one go. Theres also a hilarious thread about a guy who laid £5,000 (allegedly) on a Man United Champions League game having less than 5 goals and ended up beating Roma 7-1.

Of course it nearly always fails! But its a £10 loss for a bit of fun over a long term... its not a "let's get rich quick" or "how to beat the odds" thread. Its just a "lets see how far we can go, for a bit of fun".

Anyone seeing it as anything else should be shot!

I suppose if it fails 899 times out of 900 then it's still a good bet. Good shout on the formations H, it sounds obvious, but hands up, I completely overlooked that. I think my other half is at work, but I'm not so sure, if only there was a handy utility that could track her wherabouts.
Ultimately as should be clear by now, it's just a bit of fun and a sure fire fool proof way to make £10k, no quibbles, no baloney, no Rooney.
Luke, it's easy money lump on, a HRK should be starting with £1000 and by 255ish matches you'll be a millionaire. Stick to teams playing a 10-0-0 formation. Or even better teams with eleven goalkeepers each.

I see it as £10's worth of entertainment over several days/weeks. Well worth it. Hope you win.
