    So Bet365 just gave me a free $20 bet, no strings attached (except for having to play through it 3 times before withdrawal). I'm going to attempt to turn this $20 free bet into $500 in the space of a month and list all my bets here.

    Starting Balance: $20







    Successful Bets:
    • $5.00 on Stade Marocain Du Rabat v USM Mohamedia first half goals over 0.5 @ $1.61. Profit of $3.08.
    • $8.08 on 4-leg multi. Djurgårdens IF v GIF Sundsvall total match goals over 0.5 INTO Trelleborgs FF v Næstved total match goals over 1.5 INTO Al-Sadd Reserves v Al-Jaish Reserves total match goals over 1.5 INTO Qatar SC Reserves v Lekhwiya Reserves total match goals over 1.5 @ $1.66. Profit of $5.52
    Failed Bets:

    • $5.00 on Oman v Wigan total match goals over 3.5 @ $2.37. Payout of $0.00
    • $10 4-leg multi. Oman/Wigan total match goals over 1.5 INTO Stade Marocain Du Rabat v USM Mohamedia total match goals over 0.5 INTO Al-Arabi v Al-Weehdat total match goals over 1.0 INTO Al-Yarmouk v That Ras total match goals over 1.0 @ $1.83. Payout of $0.00
    • $5.53 on 2-leg multi. Bodo/Glimt v Rosenborg total match goals over 2.5 INTO Frem v Hvidovre IF total match goals over 2.5 @ $2.09. Payout of $0.00
    • $8.00 on 4-leg multi. MSV Duisburg v St Pauli total match goals over 1.5 INTO Paderborn v Dynamo Dresden total match goals over 0.5 INTO Karlsruhe v Cottbus total match goals over 0.5 INTO LKS Lodz v Polonia Warsaw total match goals over 0.5 @ $1.57. Payout of $0.00
    Bets Still In-Play:

    Current Balance: $0.00

    BUST!

    I have until the 18th of March to do this. No special reason btw. Just a little challenge for myself.

    Legs highlighted in green under the In-Play section have been successful.

    Do you have to deposit any cash to get this? I'll give it a crack too if so.

    Oman vs Wigan??

    Very very tough challenge too mate, good luck but I highly doubt you'll even get to 200

    It was some loyalty bonus thing. No deposit requirement or anything. The only requirement was that you played through the $20 bonus 3 times before you could withdraw it. Just enter the code they send you and you get $20 credited to your account. The thing with Bet365 is that the minimum withdrawal for Aussies is $200. I only joined them a month ago because they're the only people with live in-play online betting. Then they shut down the online live-betting for Aussies 2 weeks later >_>

    Dunno about Oman vs Wigan, it was a match that was on soon so I picked it :p Yeah, it's unlikely i'll do this but thought i'd give it a shot as it's only a free bet.

    Halftime:
    Oman 0-0 Wigan
    Al-Yarmouk 0-0 That Ras

    One 4-leg multi gets up while the other 1 is looking highly unlikely at this stage.
     
  9. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    I was actually thinking you must fucking hate 0-0 draws.
     
  10. RyanG R Gee

    Yeah, regardless of whether i've put money on a game or not I absolutely hate 0-0 draws. The whole idea seems ludacris to me. I just hate it more when I do have money on it and it happens :p
     
  11. RyanG R Gee

    Was going to chuck money on a small multi but Bet365 are taking they're sweet time giving me the money from the previous bet. The games I was going to bet on have just started.
     
  12. Benny BS Read

    cunts.
     
  13. RyanG R Gee

    First losing bets are in. Oman 0-1 Wigan. The game that was expected to have the most goals ends up screwing me and getting the least :laugh: The bet was a lot closer to succeeding than I thought it would after halftime though.
     
  14. RyanG R Gee

    Bodo/Glimt 1-1 Rosenborg.

    1 goal short :(

    MSV Duisburg v St Pauli total match goals over 1.5 INTO Paderborn v Dynamo Dresden total match goals over 0.5 INTO Karlsruhe v Cottbus total match goals over 0.5 INTO LKS Lodz v Polonia Warsaw total match goals over 0.5 @ $1.57. Payout of $0.00

    Figures that of all those 4 bets, the 3 I bet to have at least 1 goal had 4, 2 and 2 respectively and the only one I bet to have at least 2 goals only had 1.

    Anyways, that's it. I'm bust. Kept me entertained for 4 hours :laugh:

    Unlucky mate... I know a few people that have attempted something like this from £10 to £1000 but when the money got serious, so betting £200 on a single football match, decided against it and keep their money in their back pocket...

    I'll definitely be doing this come league system with the picking formula I've made.

    Me and a mate are gonna go halves in an online account with 50 each (100 all up) and make up certain rules.

    Wanna go from 100 to about 500 during the season.
     
  18. RyanG R Gee

    Yeah, the only reason I tried it here is because Bet365 gave me a free bet. So no money has come out of my pocket what so ever on this failure.
