Haha, run broken. It's not this thread that you should be checking out, this is the 3% challenge which is a bit of fun but doomed to failure. The "good" tips are on the thread "weekly bets season 2012".

It looks like you have carried this on from last season.
What is the idea of this then?

Quite simply, if you start with £10 and win 3% everyday after one year your balance is near enough £500,000. It looks easy enough in principle, after all a bet on United beating Arsenal would have increased your bank by 40%, but eventually you will fall prey to a freak result or two and it's almost impossible to keep up with the target. Last season I got £100 up to about £350 before stumbling (I start with £100 rather than £10 because I get bored easily).
What I am keeping in mind too is that at 2% per day you can still win over £12,000 from a £10 start and even 1% per day will lead to £360+. So my target is 3% per day but if the end of the year I'm up 1% per day on average I'd be thrilled. As things stand I'm still just ahead of the 3% target but it's early days and as I said yesterday I'm quite sure I'm doomed to fail.
