ELLIS'S £10 is now up to £26.03 after five successful short-priced singles.
He's aiming to go all the way to £1000 and it could take a while – but at least he didn't back Rafael Nadal in the first round.
Ellis placed three tennis bets yesterday on 2-15 Mikhail Youzhny, 1-10 Radek Stepanek and 1-6 Marion Bartoli. Watch out for his next tip as he builds his pot slowly
I had £16.67 from my first bet and it was on Paraguay Under-20s to beat Mali in the youth World Cup so I'm done now.

Good luck !!
Mrfix you should do a challenge were you and Ellis go head to head both start with £10 and see who or if anyone can get to £1000 first
Lee, I’m not interested to be honest but anyone who wants can get involved simply by posting their own selections. It’s a bit of fun for Ellis but it’s not serious betting. If I was lucky enough to reach £300 or £400 I’d bank it and start over. And I don’t have the patience for it either. Backing 1-9, 1-10 shots doesn’t interest me because I’d need to stake four figures to make it worthwhile.
Is this real money or virtual money? lol..
Chris, it’s real money. Start with a tenner and see how far you can go.
Well Im going to go for Shuai Peng to beat Anabel Medina
today at 1pm. odds of 1.53.
Peng as a 4-0 record against Medina and is ranked 26 to the spanish girls 79. Nothing is guaranteed but its as close to logic as i can get.
£10 to get to £15.30.
what about if we had a challenge where say people posted their £10 selections..and if you lose you pull out and see who can keep going the longest…it wouldnt needed monitoring coz we are quite an honest bunch on here lol.
If anyone could get to say £200 and keep going could attract a bit of a following for that person.
Mr F,
CONFIRMATION

well done. will ther be anymore for today?
I think that’s it unless u find anything outstanding
Bet 1 (won)
S.Peng beat Anabel Medina 2-0 (6-3,6-2)
Pot = £15.30
Bet 2. (26 June 08:00am)
J.W.Tsonga to beat Ernest Gulbis
£15.30 @ 1.22
(playing it safe. Tsonga has reached the semi final the last two years @wimbledon and plays Gulbis with whom he has a 3-0 win record.)
Look at the stats in the valur Reykjavik v throttur game most one sided game ever! Score could end up double figures
I’m going to join you for tomorrow
Bet 7 (£31.24)
Jo Wilfried Tsonga to win vs Ernest Gulbis
Tsonga to win 1/5
Good luck!!
Tsonga just gone to 1.50 on bet365
^ oops wrong thread
Sorry Tsonga is 2/9!!’
Pot will increase nicely again if Tsonga wins
I like the idea of the challenge but 50 days off picking out 1/10 etc I would be murder and boring.
I’d be defo up for it when the season starts 1 super single per day, though if it got to big money I’d be interested to see if I could click the bet now button cause if it were money in my hand I’d defo bottle it.
Mr Kop, that’s the big question: Could you go all the way? Like you I don’t have the patience for this but it’s a bit of fun.
wouldn’t be a bit of fun being on the last bet £9000 if it loses, that’s what annoyed when I done a couple then you feel worse at odds like that letting you down so decided against this one. if Ellis goes all the way it’ll be the 1st one I’ve seen do it, even ones that were £10 – £1000, and then it’s guaranteed most users will be on it witg tge slight chance to complete it again. will need balls the size of that guy on ch.4 last night to do it tho :)
Craig, didn’t watch the C4 programme but heard all about it. On this challenge I don’t see the point really of risking say £7k on a 1-5 shot. I’d bank it and start again.
I never even got by the ton mark so reckon a grand or 500 would be good place to bank and leave £100 in account so don’t start from £10 again but Ellis’ challenge. haha a was watchin the gypsy feuds on ch.5 but flicked it over at breaks and that was enough for me, ruby and guido would’ve had it sky plus’d after a flagged up the link last wk in the paper :)
Started my own £10 challenge and up to £19.01 today thanks to sabine lisicki! Backing tsonga tomorrow as well I think, he seems to play his best stuff on grass
not looking to good for Tsonga at the moment.
Bet 2:
Tsonga retired hurt..
do the bookies refund bets or is bet lost…
bet365 is still showing pending an hour after his retirement
i havejust been advised they return bets if retrired. could take up to an hour with bet365
@ Chris D W K that should come up void buddy, check with bet365 on the live chat just to make sure
All bets returned all bookmakers
All bets returned unless you are with coral,bet still stands so you loose.so they told me on the phone.
Great bookies,last bit of money they will have off me.
Cancelled account now.
Avoid like the plaque,total crap bookies in every way.
The bet cannot stand as Tsonga was unable to complete the match.
The challenge lives on as I had the bet returned and placed on Bartoli. They cannot do that surely?
Mr F, if Bartoli wins could we please have a fresh thread tonight
Ellis, I’m working so if i get time. If not I can push the latest one up a bit.
i got on Bartoli just in time. lets hope she wins.
Hopefully she just broke back. What will this put us on JP around £42,
Bartoli playing terrible
i missed the first bet, so this puts me on about £33.00!
If it co,es in. Although Bartoli is winning she is playing dreadfil
ya have to laugh @ ellis,crappy odds on tips losing money hand over fist and keeps demanding to start again with yet another thread,the guys a joke and is makiing this site look very poor.
chrissy, give the guy a break. He’s contributing to the site over the summer. If it’s that poor then don’t come back, never heard from you before anyway.
The last two tournaments I predicted outrights.i had a 5/1 and 7/4 winner
I had about 70% correct queens tips
I shouldn’t have swore at you but I, bored of putting tips into this site and getting abuse for it
I’ve restarted the challenge once and I remind you that we are on £33 bet 7
Ellis, I wouldn’t worry about him. Another stirrer me thinks.
Bartoli playing terrible :(
chrissy you want a good tip which I guarantee to be a winner for everyone?
Although Bartoli is struggling and The challenge is under threat I wonder what he’s be saying if I ,are £1,000
Awwww Ellis thanks for your tips, your an asset to the site blah blah blah I never seen that guy put one tip up
haha Ellis you doing just fine.
I always find its better to put a bet and never watch the match coz like with Nadal they can be losing the opening exchanges and then come good in the end..
anyway Bet365 voided the Tsonga retirement bet so
I,m still on £15.30 after first bet so I will stick with
Miss Shuai Peng and have her to beat marina Erakovic @1.72.
Peng has beaten Erakovic once in 2011 on grass acording to wetpoint.com but with bet365 they say it was clay!
Bet 2: Shuai Peng @ 1.72 to win.. 27 June 08:00am Bet365
stake £15.30 to get £26.32
Chris, and Fed 2-1 down so could be another big shock.
So from being 5-4 down and a break down first set Bartoli won it 7-5. Get in!!! Keep the challenge alive to shut people like Chrissy up
Federer could lose this
Bartoli broken second set. Looks good. May last another day. Just for you chrisssy ;) ;) ;)
ellis, how come you didn’t bet Federer to lose?
lol…
Bet flies in!!! Roll on tomorrow
Mr F,
I’m sure that would have got me to £500. im not an idiot who would have called that haha ;) ;) at 2-1 down I seen it coming though. Its happened al week

Good luck!!
there’s been a price change its 2/11 now
Confirmed I’ve put it on £41.25 2/11
Hi ellis dimitrov is 1/5 paddy power now, i dont know much about the sport but have also been on a £10 challenge. Am looking for bet 4 with £43.53 stake. I had £31.09 on brazil thanks 2 mr fixit. The odds seem 2 be getting better for dimitrov ie 1/6 2/11 now 1/5. Is this a worry, do u feel this is a one sided affair still? I know shocks are out there as theres been a few so far.
