Goal.

[Nathan Hughes]

With some inspiration from the system section of the forum(oldjohn69). I’m going to try an experiment on the 1st goalscorer in the footy. Something else to keep me occupied with on a Saturday along with watching my Bob Rolf selections getting tailed off….

I’m going to pick a player or players and they get 6 lives each the first 3 lives will be bet 1pt and the last 3 lives bet 2pts a total of 9pts bet on 1 player if all lives are lost. Any odds lower than 4/1 will be NO BET.

If a player scores the 1st goal they start again at the 1st life.

Not sure if that makes any sense to anyone, never mind it’s only an experiment…

These are the first 4 I’ve lined up for success..

Lee Hughes – Notts County v Bournemouth 11/2 1pt
Mikel Arteta – Everton v WBA 8/1 1pt
Grant Holt – Norwich v Ipswich 11/2 1pt
Didier Drogba – Chelsea v Newcastle 4/1 1pt

Grant Holt has joined Arteta in the sin-bin after picking up too many yellow cards……boys will be boys..

Bringing in Bolton’s Kevin Davies as replacement for Drogba with him being a menace and a penalty taker.

Great stuff Nathan, but I’m more than confused

Basically, you could write whatever you want in your overall profit/loss column and I’d believe you.

How many lives has Kris Boyd got by the way

[Nathan Hughes]

Kris Boyd would have to be reincarnated a few times I reckon, have Boro scored the 1st goal in a match this season?

At under 4/1 he would be a NO BET. On average he’s possibly about 6/1 for 1st goalscorer so I would only offer him the 6 lives. 3 1pt lives then 3 2pt lives. For example just say.

game 1 – Boyd 6/1 1pt =

game 2 – —- 11/2 1pt =

game 3 – —- 5/1 1pt =

game 4 – —- 5/1 2pts =

game 5 – —- 6/1 2pts =

game 6 – —- 6/1 2pts scores 1st goal =

total bet – 9pts
return – 14pts
overall –

At odds of over 4/1 as long as the player scores 1st in any of the games he will be in profit and can start again at his 1st life.

Lol, cheers mate.

I’m going to copy and paste this thread if you don’t mind, and give it to my son as he needs some revision for his A-Level Maths exam

Actually, if he understand this thread then I think he’ll have passed his degree

Good luck with your bets Nathan.

[Nathan Hughes]

Good luck to your Son One-Eye but really for maths revision he should be reading some of Gingertipsters posts on table of odds/value percentages….
