Wow, I am amazed but your winning streak, man you are still in a run and I think you'll have to celebrate after 10 wins, you are just one win away.
To be frank, this is really a hard mission, and if you keep winning, you might be tested pretty well once you are close to victory.

Are you planning to stop the experiment if your streak will be broken?

Honestly, this is pointless op. Higher odds are always better than low odds and history has proven that with literally every sport. Low odds are just a psychological way of assuring yourself that you will never lose and I have been there.

This is the same as betting on x1.01 multiplier in gambling though research improves the odds in sports betting. Instead, I would focus on trying to stitch together a 10-round 2.0 odds accumulator by betting a single dollar which would not require a ton of time and it is far more entertaining.

#10 l Football l MLS l Atlanta vs Toronto l lay 0-2 (@40) l 1,02 l 126,84 l Betfair

Conference Final. Atlanta never fails to score at home, while Toronto struggles most of the time to keep a clean sheet. Atlanta has their faboulous four (Martinez, Martinez, Barco, Gressel) available for this match, while Toronto's Jozy Altidore is still questionable with a squad strain. Even if he will return to the pitch today, he won't be at 100% and Toronto will most likely keep on struggling offensively.

GL bro! Cheesy I didnt see your challenge until now and whats funny about it - First thing I saw was todays Bayern pick and minutes before that I saw they were still 1-0 behind. Grin Way to go but I can already smell the Million! Cheesy

ευχαριστώ, way to go indeed Grin

#8 l Football l CUPGER l Bochum vs Bayern l Bayern X2 l 1,03 l 119,56 l Betago

WON

This was pretty close and probably a poor choice. Bochum was in front until 83rd minute. Better to stick with home teams in the end, cup matches and away teams are recipe for disaster Roll Eyes

W-L: 8-0

#9 l Volleyball l GER1 l BR Volleys - Eltmann l BR Volleys ML l 1,03 l 123,15 l Bet365

BR Volleys are pretty solid side in Germany, always among Top3 in recent years. Eltmann promoted this season and managed to get their first win of the season in the last round in convincing fashion with 3-0 sets. Nevertheless there is always huge quality difference between well established top teams and freshly promoted teams in these leagues. Eltmann can maybe snatch a set, but that should be it.

Nothing caught my attention yesterday, so better not to rush things.

Unless this is fixed, I can't see Bochum winning inside 90 minutes. They will give a good fight and probably score 1-2 goals, but Bayern is just Bayern.

Six straight wins and going to the seventh if this game also turned into the winning list. Not bad doing your strategy, it's doable indeed though same with the thoughts that possible upset can happened but with your good understanding and right choices of games to bet, it would be an interesting run to follow. Good luck to you and keep sharing those quality pick that you'll going to bet with.

So you do say that you would exclude out womens basketball out of your selections?

No. In general I would be careful with low odds in Basketball, unless you know your stuff. If I had to touch low odds in Basketball without deeper knowledge about the teams and league, I would look for home teams in womens Basketball in smallish leagues.

In the spirit of your challenge--as an experiment I indiscriminately added ~75 matches that were around 1.05 odds or below that start within the next week. They should all win.  Let's see what happens! https://pastebin.com/zh8AK6Xr https://www.oddsportal.com/profile/lowexperiment/ Will update with the result here.

Looks like one team already layed an egg Grin



Those short odds in Basketball are not worth it anyway imo, unless you really know those teams and have some information about injuries, motivation etc. Every now and then a team has a streaky shooting day, where they basically can't miss and the other team has an off-day. Nothing to do about that then. I would only thouch those kind of odds in womens Basketball (and for home teams).

Seems like this one would follow  on the first one.

..I dont see a low risk route to that except by guessing really long odds on a combination bet.
The challenge is actually a form of a combination bet, it's very similar. It's known as a mechanical parlay. What is this? With a normal parlay you'd choose X amount of games and add them to your bet slip. This is all fine and dandy, but what if you wanted to combine future events with no odds posted, or combine props that are normally not allowed? A mechanical parlay is where you place one bet and roll the winnings into consecutive bets. For example, say you wanted to create a parlay betting against the (absolutely atrocious) Miami Dolphins in the NFL for their first five games. Another example of this is if you took a player in a tennis tournament, say Rafa Nadal at Roland-Garros (where he is dominant), and bet on him to win every match, rolling the winnings into the next match. This may pay out more than betting on Nadal outright in futures to win the tournament.

Agreed, it's definitely a long shot to make 10,000X on any investment. This is essentially a 466 leg parlay, each leg with 1.02 avg odds. So far so good though, 0.8% towards the goal. I'd hold off on deciding which island to purchase: https://www.privateislandsonline.com/ Praia do Algodão looks like a nice place to settle Grin

I agree with op that it will be more emotional and difficult once the amount reaches to 5 digits (maybe even 4).
          

I would split the bet up rather just one amount one bet.  'how easy it is to become a millionaire with betting'   Never thought this because the odds have to be against me for the house or operation running the game to make a profit but the only way I know is to place a bet and lay away the risk then benefit from various bonus offers given.   Otherwise its just a case of spotting odds where the crowd is wrong, glory supporting a big team or something which is at least occasionally possible; none of that adds upto a plan for a million really and I dont see a low risk route to that except by guessing really long odds on a combination bet.
  
He can divide if the capital reaches even with 4 digits to speed up the process somehow.Even though winnings aren't really that big
compared on on spot one bet but this way do lessen up the risk on losing up all the amounts he hardly able to reach.This will take time
if we do decide to stick up with this odds.Slowly but surely? Most likely but as said where theres no guarantee on winning anytime even on the
smallest odd where you do bet.

#1 and #2 ranked teams at home against unranked teams. Handicap for both over -30. Since both games start nearly at the same time and Leonbets has highest odds for both (some bookies don't even offer ML) one can parlay these two, which I will do. Can't see any upset here, though miracles happen from time to time in College Football Cheesy



Great going bro, already you reach four steps in goal and i wish you reach your final step as soon as possible, and here my sad story just now happened where I placed a bet in Southampton VS Leicester game 1st half goals totals under 4.5 selected odds as 1.15 but I lose my bet in final two minutes.

Three wins in a row, this is expected at 1.02 odds.

Once you get to a couple dozen wins in a row you'll be beating the odds.

That being said, if you somehow manage to pull this off and make $1 million while recording your bets in this thread religiosly, this thread will go down in history as one of the most epic on Bitcointalk.

Good luck, you will need it.
