50P to 50K

[JOMO]

Art-noon gents,

Sorry to burst in unnanounced, but I'm a bit parcial to the 'ol challenge threads, the worse the better imo.

Since a thread like this would probably have me shot if I put it up on betfair, I hereby unveil it here, with the title rather self-explanitory, and highly ridiculous.

The 50p is in itself a monumental achievement though. It sits in my skybet account, the fruits of coming 11th out of 300 in a free poker tournament. Best part of two hours work into the bargain Fnatastic value, I'm sure you'll agree. (If only I'd come 10th, I would have doubled my money.)

So anyway I now have this 50p burning a whole in my pocket with which to get to 50 grand or Tukish lira equivilent.

Obviously the stakes are high, and I can't go wading in guns blazing and spunk the lot in one go. Below then is a random list of odds and sods that I'll put in and see if a profit can be had (max bet on skybet is 10p for the horses anyway so I may as well do it this way)

3.10 Bath
Eradicate & Haarth Sovereign. 5p reverse F/C
3.30 Southwell
Starcross Maid & Mr Mischief. 5p reverse F/C
3.40 Bath
Bachnangairn & Beau Saucy. 5p reverse F/C
4.00 Southwell
Owed 20p to win. (taken EP. win 58p)



What d'yu think of it so far?

Rubbish

Thanks for the welcome fight fans, but...



oh my god. I forgot to confirm the bets! Argggggghhh!

Owed won, and my 1st F/C came in (approx 8p for my 10p stake )

So I was looking at 130% profit on my bets, but now...nothing

I don't know if I can go on now, but I guess I'll have to try (what's the odds now I make sure I place the bets and they lose.)

[JOMO]

In fact, I've lost my discipline. ALL 50P on Artadi in the 4.20!!!!

50P to win 11p. Crazy, rash, insane I know, but there we go...

[JOMO]

Well that was a disaster of Fern Britton proportions.

I'm entered into another of these Free poker things tonight. Unless I win another 50p, it's cuytins for this little corner of rags to riches land.
