Welcome back to MFT’s 10-1,000 betting challenge, where we aim for a 100x return on the original investment via a small stake betting strategy, prioritising low risk and low odds en route to a long-term target.
While this column is dedicated to high-probability tips, there is no guarantee of profit. If playing along, you should consider your own budget and confidence in the tip provided, and make your own decision whether to follow, cash out or continue at every stage. 18+, please gamble responsibly.
We will use a unit system for our stakes, allowing readers to set their own unit value that suits their own budget. For the sake of simplicity, for us, 1 unit = £1.
We will continue to transparently track our progress as far as we go on the path to 1,000, but will refresh our main tracking stake back to the starting point every time we surpass 100 units – a 10x ROI.
For the sake of consistency, all tips are placed using odds from bet365. It worth pointing out that with Bet365 we can paid out if our selection goes into a lead by two or more goals.
The games appear to be playing with us now. After a very late Wolves goal on Friday evening, we were made to wait until the 90th minute for Norwich to finally score against WBA.
Bet 11 – Lyngby v FC Midtjylland – Sunday 16th August at 1pm
This fixture stacks up well for over 2 goals based on both last season's scoring records and the early numbers from this campaign.
Lyngby were reliable scorers during their promotion season, failing to score in only two of 16 home games and two of 16 away games. They have carried some of that threat into the new season, scoring twice against both FC Copenhagen and AGF, with their only blank coming at Randers.
Midtjylland have scored in both of their opening matches, beating Sonderjyske 3-2 before a 2-1 win over AC Horsens. The concern is at the other end. They have already allowed 21 shots, 16 from inside the box, six on target and four big chances.
The overall chance volume is the strongest part of the case. Lyngby's three matches have averaged 3.99 combined xG, producing 86 shots, 57 efforts from inside the box and 23 big chances.
Neither side has kept a clean sheet this season, while both have shown enough attacking threat to contribute. With exactly two goals returning the stake, the line offers useful protection.
