LOL, yeah remember that Mickey Rooney quote "best way to make a million gambling is to start with 2" or something liek that.
He's only showing
what would happen if you made 5% a day with a £1000 bank and it does come out at over a million after 5 months so I can't see anything wrong with the figures.
In reality just about impossible to do but there are plenty of events on
betfair where you could get 6 figure bets matched. Nearly every horserace favourite has around 1million matched on it, many teams in live football, cricket and tennis too.
There's a guy on the rags to riches thread trying to make 2 1/2% a day.
