I will be attempting to win 10 bets in a row, wagering 100% of my bankroll on each bet. I will be starting with $30 and aiming to have average odds of 1.50
30*1.5^10 = 1730
I will post all my bets here, let's see how far I can get!
First bet of the challenge will be on Super Rugby. This is a pretty small betting market, so there is not a lot of price movement, leaving some good value out there.
Rebels v Lions Rebels @ 1.30
Lions are on the back end of a long tour, I believe they have made 12 changes to their side in order to get some playing time to their bench. Rebels are coming off an away win, with two players playing their 50th Super cap.
Crusaders v Cheetahs Crusaders @ 1.08
Crusaders have had a slow start to the season but are beginning to pick up their pace. No injuries so this is a 1st choice Crusaders side. Hard to go against them at home...
Bulls v Force Bulls @ 1.11
First match on tour for the Force. Bulls are beginning to string a few wins together and getting stronger every week. Force are coming off a home loss to the Rebels.

I really wish you good luck, but i dont think you will make it. Why betting every time 100% of your bankroll? This has fail written all over it from the beginning Since you are starting now maybe you should think of another strategy

Thanks for the responses guys.
I am well aware that this is horrible BRM strategy, this is really just a fun little challenge to see how far I get.
One aspect that is in my favor is that I have no timeline on this, I can wait for spots where I feel I can get value. We have all won 10 bets in our lifetime, just a matter of stringing them together. Definitely easier said than done!

Cheers as being a betting man i would be glad to check your post out and see if you manage to do your challenge i know people who manage to do it but they always bet on evens odds so there is chance of the challenge breaking on the first 5 levels or the 9 th step but the best way to be profitable doing it is to have a kind of buffer, like removing some profit and your stake, just some extra few steps. Good luck mate !

I hope you can get till the end if it, but i am betting against you You could try playing a bet chasing high odds only, for example only draws. For quite some time i was playing totally random, a 10 fold with minimum bet, with all draws. The highest i managed to get right was 8

well actually it's not 10 bets but 10 combos if i understood correctly. betting 100% of your roll makes you my hero immediately- that's the way to go, whether it's poker, sports bets or fcuking... just go all-in and hope for the best.

Good luck with this one. I just wonder if you will be really willing to bet 100%, if you should manage to win 7 or 8 of those bets, and the amount to bet is much bigger than the starting 30 bucks.
