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.
Bet 1 – Liverpool vs Chelsea – Saturday 9th May at 12:30
Liverpool's clash with Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday afternoon presents a compelling case for the home side to avoid defeat, and Chelsea's catastrophic recent form makes it difficult to argue otherwise.
Chelsea arrive at Anfield in the worst form of any side in the Premier League. In their last six top flight outings they have lost all six, scoring just one goal and conceding 14, an average of over two goals conceded per game and barely a goal threat to speak of.
Across all competitions their record reads three wins, two draws and nine defeats, and with key injuries adding to their problems, they arrive on Merseyside in a state of genuine disarray.
Liverpool's motivation is equally significant. Sitting fourth in the table, a win here would all but secure Champions League football for next season, giving Arne Slot's side every reason to approach this game with real intent.
They have won three of their last four home games at Anfield and 10 of 17 at home this season, with a home xPTS of 5.12 across the last four fixtures reflecting consistent quality on their own patch.
Chelsea's defensive fragility, chronic lack of attacking output and dreadful run of form makes Liverpool avoiding defeat a well-supported outcome. Anfield on Saturday looks a formidable obstacle for a Chelsea side with no wins and no goals in six successive league games.
- Bet: Liverpool double chance
- Odds: 1/4
- 10 units returns 12.50
