A Pound to a Thousand is my new hobby, task, and aim for the news sporting season. I will be creating a manual accumulator, beginning with a single pound coin in the hopes of reaching four digits.
Beginning this weekend with the start of the new football season, I'll place a one pound bet on a single football match, on a team to win within the 90 minutes. I shall do this every weekend and every major midweek set of fixtures. If I wish to pass on midweek fixtures I may, however I must have a choice at least once a week.
Other Projects
As well as football, I enjoy both American Football and Basketball. Their seasons begin in September and October, more to come on those at a later date.
A Few Calculations
The majority of my weekly picks will be favourites. If every team I select are at odds of 1/2, by week 17 the returns will be £986.
from there, if I choose to continue after reaching my 'Thousand' aim, I would be at £3300 by week twenty. You can assume a reasonable amount of money is being dealt with at that point.
As for the NFL, there are 16 weeks within the season. American sports with larger margins are usually the subject of handicap betting, where odds are 10/11 for each team with the appointed handicap. if I can predict just one correct handicap per week, by the end of the regular season I will have reached over £31000, fittingly enough to fund my eventual American Road Trip, with plans of stopping at every state.
Lets get to it
Now enough with the boring stuff, time to get to it. A little wisdom, with a load of patience and the always necessary bit of luck, and this season may well get me from A Pound to a Thousand.
