Guest bluenose1303 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 A very long shot but great fun in the process. Anybody fancy trying to hit the jackpot? Taking �£2 and turning it into a million through a series of even money bets. �£2 Bet1 = �£4 Bet2 = �£8 Bet3 = �£16 Bet4 = �£32 Bet5 = �£64 Bet6 = �£128 Bet7 = �£256 Bet8 = �£512 Bet9 = �£1024 Bet10 = �£2048 Bet11 = �£4096 Bet12 = �£8192 Bet13 = �£16384 Bet14 = �£32768 Bet15 = �£65536 Bet16 = �£131072 Bet17 = �£262144 Bet18 = �£524288 Bet19 = �£1048576 You may bet a double or treble as long as the odds are EVENS or above. Have done it myself a few times & got as high as �£328 on bet 7 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,604 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 If you were to win the first 13 bets (say on roulette) are you really going to risk �£16K on your next bet? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 If you were to win the first 13 bets (say on roulette) are you really going to risk �£16K on your next bet? Noone gets that far. This idea has been around for a ,long time in various formats. Plus I dont think the bookies will even allow you to place the final bet, certainly not on my online account, due to maximum stakes/payouts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 �£10 Bet1 = �£20 Bet2 = �£40 Bet3 = �£80 Bet4 = �£160 Bet5 = �£320 Bet6 = �£640 Bet7 = �£1280 Bet8 = �£2560 Bet9 = �£5120 Bet10 = �£10240 Bet11 = �£20480 Bet12 = �£40960 Bet13 = �£81920 Bet14 = �£163840 Bet15 = �£327680 Bet16 = �£6553600 Bet17 = �£13107200 Cut it down by a couple of bets by starting at a tenner. Ahhhh, you got to love the power of compounding. I am willing to bet that anyone who starts out at 2 quid because they can't afford ten quid or higher stakes would shit their pants at probably even 5 grand and would quit. Now, what you could do if you were lucky enough to get a few bets win is to take half the cash off the table and then continue on. You would effectively only give yourself one bet more to get to the million (assuming that you could, at that point, refrain from soiling yourself whilst the bets were ongoing). This is definitely achievable but you need gonads of steel to see it through. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
