Olympics Betting Comp Part 2: The Race to 10k

Well done to Southpaw for getting to the 10k mark in the 1st comp with some larger odds early and a 9/20 shot to get him over the line.

He has kindly offered his R500 prize (originally donated by Hanrick) back into the pot so we will have another go. Same comp as before.

Here is how it will work
• Each punters starts with R1000 virtual money for their 1st bet
• NB. This R1000 does not carry through to the next betting round should your bet land
• Each punter bets their R1000 on any Olympic event, the price must not be higher than 3/1
• Any winnings are carried forward as the balance into the next round. For example if you back a 9/10 shot and win your balance is R900.
• The balance will then be bet on another Olympic event and the total will be carried forward including the stake
• If your bet loses you are out BUT can re-enter the day after your best loses

How do you win
• The 1st punter to reach a R10k balance wins the R500 cash prize (overseas players can be paid by Paypal)
• If nobody reaches 10k the punter with the highest balance reached at any point will be the winner
• If Chris, Hanrick or I will play we will play for the house, if we win we will do another comp for the prize

To enter
• Place your bet on this thread showing the following information

Date, bet, price, bookie, end balance e.g

24 July: Cycling Road Race, Pogacar Podiun at 23/20 WSB 1150/1000 (1150)

If this lands 1150 will be staked on the next bet
If it loses the punter can re-enter but only for events from 25 July
NB: Always show your end balance should the bet win

Rules
• Bets must be placed before the event starts (no in-running bets)
• Price must be available at the time of placing the bet
• Players to keep their own balances and to carry them through
• Only 1 bet allowed per day
• You do not have to bet every day
• Single bets only
• No editing of threads
• Judges decision is final

Let me know if anything is not clear it should be good fun. The 1st bet is crucial as this will be the base balance you use to get to the 10k.

Not sure if this comp is still alive but taking Elaine Thompson 23/20 to win women's 100m

31 July Thompsom win 100m 1150/1000 (1150)

Nice Brent. Competition is still on the go but two players could make R10k tomorrow. The rules are not specific re same day finishes. I would like to propose a same day finish means prize is shared otherwise Wager Warlock and myself have to sit up all night to try and place a bet that will land one minute earlier or pay R1 more. Your call.

Agree lets split it if both win in same day

1 Aug 100m men winner Ronnie Baker 11/4 Sunbet

3162/1150 (4312)

Guys am I right that we have both The Vann and Wager Warlock hitting the 10k mark on the same day?

Brilliant work guys and please e-mail me your banking details for the payment This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thanks again to Hanrick and then Southpaw for the prize
