TODAY I'm launching a bank builder v long shot trial and one of the main reasons is because of the variety of punters coming to this site.
I've said before it's difficult for me to keep everyone happy. I'm reluctant to put up too many tips – and sometimes I believe I do – but there's so much football to bet on and with hundreds of thousands of visits to the site on Saturdays and Sundays it's impossible to put up lines for all.
As regulars will know I believe the best policy is to go for singles, doubles and trebles but I appreciate that doesn't suit some punters who play for low stakes and for fun.
I will continue to put up bets such as the Super Single, Daily Double and Top Treble because for me the odds always reflect your chances of winning. An even-money Super Single for example has a 50-50 chance of coming while you will land a 10-1 shot one attempt in 11 theoretically.
At the weekend I bumped into a punter in the bookies with whom I've had some dealings with the past – for the purpose off this experiment let's call him Lee.
He always claimed to be a big hitter placing large stakes on short odds but told me he'd now completely changed tact and only placed bets of £40-£50 on “long shots”. A long shot being an accumulator paying at least 10-1 but preferably nearer 20-1.
Lee (not his real name of course) insisted he was £2500 up since adopting this policy in November. I rubbished his tactics and challenged him to prove he could succeed and so we came up with the Bank Builder v Long Shot Experiment.
I hope to prove backing a team or teams at short prices and building your betting pot slowly is better than taking massive risks. Every day I'll put up an odds-on bank builder and Lee will give me his long shot line.
I'll give brief reasoning for mine but there will be none for his because I'm not advising you follow him. He'll be backing his selections but they are not tips I recommend backing due to the prices – and remember this is just an experiment. How long it will last I don't know – but we're both starting with 20pts (for me that's £200).
I will risk no more than 10pts a day and he plans to put on between 0.5pts and 2pts – and I expect him to run dry before me although I truly hope he proves me wrong.
This thread can also be the place for anyone to post their own challenges which are becoming invreasingly popular.
Tomorrow I'll be giving away £20 of betting vouchers (UK only) to one person who can predict a winner bigger than Lee's so look out for that.
Here are the day one bets – and mine is a safer version of the Super Single. Starting bank 20pts.
Mr Fixit's Bank Builder
Napoli draw no bet (8pm)
Benfica draw no bet (8pm)
7pts at 1-3 (bet365)
Lee's Long Shot

1pt at 10.3-1 (Skybet)
And for anyone who heard about the punter who was waiting on a Bolton win and btts at Liverpool on Saturday night for a £1m win on Betfair here's the £10 line that nearly made him a legend. He was offered £15k cashout but didn't take it and in the end Betfair kindly gave him four £1000 free bets and trip to the FA Cup Final.

I love this idea. I’m unsure of where I lie on this tactic though. Before I found this site I made a lot of money through long shots. (landed a 90-1 and a 40-1 shot in the same weekend-mainly through luck) however I got greedy and lost most of it.
I think I do consistently better since this site taught me about bank building. But this is cool because the long shot adds a more ‘exciting’ element.
Jack, the long shot betting is OK if it’s done for small stakes and no great expectation. Now and again everyone will hit a cracker.

Phil Bardsley & Ryan Shawcross both to be carded @ 16/1.
Dazzler, Shawcross is a major doubt – not expected to play.
mr fix why were you in the bookies surely you do all your gambling on line???
ross, you’re new so I’ll answer you. Main reason I go to the bookies is to walk the dug and get chippy tips (that’s for another day) – it’s about a 70-minute round trip for me. I’ve said before I’ll do loose change bets but no singles etc because prices are usually shorter. I quite like spending time in my local shop and chatting to the regulars anyway – watching the footie or Sky Sports News, grabbing a coffee, reading the Racing Post, looking over coupons, checking prices on the football terminal which some shops have, etc. And the dug’s always made welcome.
All that’s missing is a bar and better odds. Now and again you’ll get a decent price and Ladbrokes have addressed it a bit with their top teams top prices coupon.
I’d advise anyone to support their local shop but compare prices to online ones and stay away from the FOBS – even if they offer you a free go.
Absolutely cracking idea Mr F as you say the ss is the way to go for long term profits albeit that can be a slow process for some, but I believe most punters see gambling as a way to get a big lift from the bets they do you only need to see the amount of daft bets the bookies promote in there coupons and punters flock to these bets at the weekends especially in shop.
And the reason is the above comment a big lift for relative smallish stakes.
So this I believe is most welcome for the majority of punters out there well done for addressing this as it will be good to see how this progresses.
Great idea guys I do both types of bets will always have a safe treble or 2 on a weekend plus a couple of long shots and bts, most days I’ll have a correct score trixie which are very difficult to get up but got one up last season for £500 so that pretty much covered my trixie stakes.
Tonights trixie which is researched in as much as any game can be when trying to predict a correct score is
Napoli 2-1 genoa
Getafe 1-1 celta vigo
Pacos 0-2 benfica
Returns £450
Nice work Mr f I like it. I’ll be starting my own challenge today then. I’ll be going with low stakes and placing either one/two or three doubles depending on the fixture’s of course.
Starting pot will be 200pts, I will spread %10 of my pot no matter what its balance is.
Bank builder doubles:
Double 1
Genclerbiligi v besiktas, under 1.5 fhgs
Paco’s ferreira v benfica, over 0.5 fhgs
6.66pts returns 12.68pts
Double 2
Getafe v celta Vigo, under 1.5 fhgs
Angers v Brest, under 1.5 fhgs
6.67pts returns 10.67pts
Double 3
Panetolikos v atromitos, under 1.5 fhgs
Napoli v Genoa, over 0.5 fhgs
6.67pts returns 10.23pts
All of the above happen to be under/over fhgs, this is just a coincidence. I’ll also be looking at over/under mgs, btts yes/no. Not a big fan of the straight win market but there may be the odd one or two that stand out so every now and again ill probably throw one in.
All the best!
Hello mrfxit,you have a good site and I really enjoy logging on.HANVING FOLLOWED FOOTBALL AND BET ON THE FIXED ODDS FOR YEARS AND STILL A POOR MAN I DO AgrEE IT BETTER TO JUST DOUBLE YOUR MONEY EACH TIME RATHER THAN GO FOR THE BIG ODDS LIKE 20/1 etc because it is sods law one team will always Let you down. Football these days has changed with the money era and there is no longer the consistency of years ago, today it is more like pot luck each time you bet.

I agree with AnOnYmoUS and Mr F I also think this will prove to be a great addition to an already cracking site for punters.
I just hope as Mr F says that this will be taken as its meant to be a bit of fun while getting a chance for a big lift every now and again.
Going for a rolling challenge bet starting today with just £10 so anyone can join in for little start off money.

Good luck if you choose to follow.
Mr f -love the idea….im on both!!! ..
Have a feeling both will make a profit
Gl lads
I am on Mr F’s side on this one. Slow but sure wins the race. However, for that to be proven this experiment will need to run for a long time and get a large sample size. All it takes is Lee to have a wee run of form knocking in 3 10/1+ shots in a few days and the gap could be massive.
At least Lee seems sensible enough no to be putting 10pt stakes on his long shots. he would defo go broke on that pretty fast.
Great idea, I will be watching with plenty of interest.
Fitba Tips, I’ll try to run it until the end of the season – assuming Lee’s not gone bust by then.
Mr f agree with you there there’s no place for that fobts on the high st . Hopefully labour if they get in will do as they say and decrease them to a maximum bet of only £2 . The shops have lost a lot of customers over the years because of these machines.
Speedy, it will depend on how much tax they raise for the Government! I don’t like FOBTs but anyone who can’t ignore has a problem that needs dealt with. I go into shops every day and have never put a penny in them. Actually I see a reduction in their use and that’s good if true. There used to be queues to use them but now I see them sitting empty.
Mr F, i’m glad you’re finally doing this. :D
I hope Raal is nice enough to start one too.
Then it’ll be Mr F, Lee and Raal. we’ve got the bucks to run all three.
Mr F, I do believe that the answer to your question (time will prove if I’m correct on this occasion) is that “Lee” will be further up than you in the long term. I have done something similar in fact prior to coming across your site last May. I used to take around 10-1 shots (or higher) with around 5-6 teams for £20-£25 (adjusted depending on the odds). Some weekends I would bring 3 up and others none. I was always up. I think it all boils down to Maths Mr F and we have a few stats based people on here that will probably summarise this better than me. I will generalise at best! At the odds that you have put on you could conceivably win 7 in a row and more. If you keep to level stakes you should be ok but your return will be low and a set back will be noticeable. Where as with “Lee” he can afford to loose 6-7 in a row and land one big one that will blow you out the water. It really depends on how good he is at picking out his teams. He could on one occasion hit a 50-1 monster! I suppose it may also depend on how cavalier each of you will be with your stakes depending on how the other’s game plan is going. It will be interesting. Good luck.
My mistake Mr F and apologies I completely misread his odds.
Alex, I agree. I need a massive hit rate but expect to have it and if Lee hits a 50-1 winner I’ll be first to applaud him. As I say it’s just a fun trial.
Mr F his long shots are a minimum of 10/1 up to 20/1? Todays is 10/3 which is actually a totally different type of bet from the ones he does. Would it not be better for him to do his 10/1 minimum bets and let us see if he does actually land any?
raaljaca, you’ve misread it – the odds are 10.3-1 – I gave him the exact odds because we’re tallying the points. He won’t go under 10-1 he’s said.
Mr F I did read it wrong and apologise. So much to read and not enough eyes!!!
raaljaca, no worries – I did it yesterday with the Super Single odds. Looked at price for the guy below Lacazatte – and that’s with new specs.
Longshot treble
Cape verde island draw 2/1

The quicker the better the machines dissapear for good, know plenty of people who dont go near a bookies now due to them.
Same with gambling adverts they are everywhere , teams all sponsored by them too , it’s just too much, but that’s Britain just now for you
How do all. Spent about 6 months listening to you Mr F & all the regulars on here & sending a big thank you. Thought as I am getting involved this year I may as well give a little back. Sods law you will never hear of a winner off me but.. I’ll start putting my bets up. Thanks & Gu luck
to me this challenge wont prove what strategy is better ,but who the best/luckiest bettor is……will be exciting to follow the outcome though….can we bet on the result of your duel?someone set the odds for that one please!
Mr F, I have tried building bank putting money on short priced favourites and never had any success the problem being because of the short price the returns are very low and one or two losing bets wipes out all profits straight away.
Another welcome addition. I for one would like to thank mr f for all the effort he puts in to the site.
618.00 profit from this weekend and only for this site I would not be up so much.
So lets thank mr f because he puts in such an effort.
Mr F, I have tried building bank putting money on short priced favourites and never had any success the problem being because of the short price the returns are very low and one or two losing bets wipes out all profits straight away. good luck
john, I’m aware of that – the hope is to avoid losers then increase stakes as the pot builds. I’ll also be more ambitious with odds after a couple of winners. I don’t want wiped out after three days.

True mr f lol
Trying a 10/1 bet on the cards market later on today.

Ah well nearly a good start to this thread 3 winners and 1 loser in the celta game 1 card in the 1st half which looked good for my bet then 6 in the 2nd half with 3 in the last 10 mins of reg time then 1 in 90+1 stoppage time :-(
The joys of gambling lol
yeah agree with u guys i don’t expect it to win really …i staked the minimum…..just thought it would fit the thread as is both a banker(individually) and a longshot(as a whole) hahaaha
Does this have to be Football or can it be any sport, Mr F?
Jordan, it can be any sport if you want to get involved. Tomorrow’s contest will be for football bets only though.
Ok, I was only going to get involved on the bank builder side of things. So if say I pick a Basketball market tonight, I won’t be able to continue that tomorrow unless it’s a Football pick?
Jordan, you can carry on as long as you want – all I’m saying is tomorrow only I’m doing a one-off contest and only football bets will be considered. You can enter one if you want.
Ok thanks for the details mate.
my longshot getafe -celta 1-2 correct score @10
Had posted last night on the daily tips page about a system that I am working on that will fit just nice into this particular forum page. Im guessing that my post was way too long as it didn’t publish #NewbiePostMistake LOL
Either way, all good now as I have found a home :)
Anyway, basic (shorter) version of my system is taking advantage of Bet365 elite Euro leagues offer of a bonus payment on your winning acca up to 100%!!

Really looking forward to seeing how this goes I think it’s a great idea. I like long shot acca’s myself, they get me excited and on the edge of my seat and I only ever put 1 or 2 pounds on so if I lose then I’m ok with that.
I will be on both the Bank Builder and the Long Shot with just a few pounds on each and I will post my own acca shorty which will probably be a mix of tips from Mr F and Lee with a wildcard thrown in for some fun!
Good luck everyone with these challenges.

Intrigued by the new trial Mr F, I like long shots from time to time but invariably 1 score let’s u down, but is good for excitement value.
SS has been good to me and I think this is the key and will win the trial..Slowly but surely built the pot..
Liking this new section Mr F
I feel everyone has missed a bet in te empoli game. It’s very risky on a match winner but not so risky when you look at the corner stats for both teams. I’ve bet empoli -5 @ 5/2 but not available with bet365 so my bet tonight is as follows;
Empoli first to 9 corners 15/8
Napoli to score over 2.5 goals 11/8
Benfica over 1.5 goals 8/13
Stoke 13/20
17.19/1 that pays
Faulds88, good luck with that – I just don’t have time to look at corner stats. Need to go out for a bit – and hopefully Empoli will beat Lee’s line. Only joking but on his treble that’s the one I wouldn’t back – I’d have gone under 2.5 goals.

Mr F, that’s a very interesting point you raised and I would like to comment, if you allow. I will appreciate your views on that.
You will try to prove that backing teams at shorter odds is a better strategy and Lee will try to prove you are wrong as he will be taking massive risks. Which one if you is right? I would say that either of you because that’s not the point.
Let’s take an example of rolling the dice. You have a bank of 10 GBP, I will pay you 1 GBP if it’s 1, 2 or 3 and take 1 GBP from your bank if it’s 4, 5 or 6. Would you play that game with me? Would that be a better strategy than if I gave 6 GBP to someone who throws 1 and take 1 GBP from his bank if he throws anything else? Both games are the same looking at them long term, however you can make a lot of profit or a lot of loss in first say 50 throws.
Let’s get back to football then. You are saying that a selection has 50-50 chance of landing if the odds are evens. That’s not always the case, is it? Bookies often offer you 1.95 (decimal odds) for a selection that can land with 50% probability. Each punter will lose money long term, if he is are betting on that. Now, what if the odds are 2.05? Or I’m giving you 1.1 GBP instead of 1 GBP in my dice example if you throw 1, 2 or 3. You should play that game with me as you will no doubt win long term.
To summarize, you will win if Lee’s bank runs dry before yours but will that prove that your strategy is better? It is possible that he would be able to recover his losses in say next 50 bets or so. How many bets you guys would need to place to be able to say which strategy is better long term? 100, 1000…?
For me the key is to find value bets, the ones that bookies price wrong. Only then you will get odds advantage on probability (doesn’t matter if it’s 2/1 selection or 10/1 selection). I think you are doing that already (selecting good value bets) as you can prove long term profit on your SS.
Raaljaca (cheers!) mentioned a few days ago an importance of comparing prices between different bookies – that seems to be a key – that’s why he wins. The small difference between 1.95 odds and 2.05 compared to 50% probability can decide whether you are beating the bookies long term or not.
Bookies Can Lose, you’re reading too much into it. A bit of fun more than anything – and where I possible I always compare and quote top price.

Pacos have found the net in 12 of their last 15 home league matches and conceded in 14 of those games with 10 going over 2.5gls
Benefice have an incredible record of scoring in their last 41 away league matches,the last time they failed too score on the road in a league match was way back in April 2012 at Sporting Lisbon.
BTTS & O2.5gls 8/5
Napoli v Genoa
Napoli have scored in 14 of their last 15 home games and conceded in 11 of them,BTTS has come in 10 times with 11 of those matches over 2.5gls
Genoa have scored in 13 of their last 15 away matches and conceded in 13 too,12 of those matches seen BTTS and over 2.5gls in 11 of the 15 matches
BTTS &O2.5gls 6/5
Angers v Brest
Angers have played 9 at home winning 6,drawing 2 and losing just once too top of the table Troyes. They have kept 6 clean sheets in those 9 games
Brest have won just twice on the road this season and making that 3 is a difficult task at a strong home team in Angers
Angers win 6/4
Treble pays 13.3/1
Gone on both lol, hoping for a banker to subsidise the long shots.
Part 1 of your new challenge is In Ryan the Besiktas goal! :)
Stuck thisvon this morning and at just over 9/1 skybet its a decent long shot thats up and running.
Cant check odds or return as its disappeared off skybets bet-tracker? Anyone would like to fiqure it feel free but pretty sure 9.34/1 was the odds.

rochdale to win 14/1
Mr F um still getting no joy with Skbet and there bet tracker? Would you say that treble o posted was about right? Put it on at 3am this morning but quite sure those were the odds.
Hello did Mr Wenger wear a coat yesterday as I had a small bet on him when I saw a bet as advertised on this website.Please advise, thanks
andrew, I’m sure he did – check the comments because it was flagged up.
Mr F do entries from today not count then. My 15.88/1 longshot won and its probably used my longshot luck up, doubt I could do it 2 days in a row.
V P, there was no contest today – read the post … it says tomorrow and has already been stressed. I’m sure you can do it again.
Perhaps my approach was too serious – just working on beating the bookies and math plays an important part in it.
Good luck with your challenge! Seems like you will win round 1.
I only realised it probably wasn’t today after reading your later comments. I did read the post and now see how I misunderstood. Just semantics.

On to the next Ryan, I fell with you on the midweek challenge – you just can’t do anything about that – freaky game. I did have Napoli BTTS and O2.5 MGS which covers most of my loss.
Start again tomorrow!
The Udinese game started at 6 so ended up of both of these on because there was no Stoke team news at the time.
Phil Bardsley & Ryan Shawcross both to be carded @ 16/1 *LOST*
Bardsley booked, Shawcross not booked.
Stoke to win btts
Napoli to win btts
Udinese double chance
17.14/1 *WON*
If it wasn’t for Mr F mentioning Shawcross being a doubt I wouldn’t have put the second bet on, so big thanks for that Mr F!
Cheers, ciderarmy I think I will start the challenge again tomorrow but with less than £100. I’m glad you got a winner today which was better than what I did.
Two out of three on my longshot treble beat by an injury time goal by brest but sure that happens week in week out.
Well that is £70 down today following the bank builder Napoli and Benfica DNB double. What with Saturdays football results. The bookies must be laughing their heads off.
Andrew, the bank builder is a trial – your choice to back it. Anyway, Benfica was a shock result – everyone backed them and they lost. Let’s get over it and try to do better tomorrow.
