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 3 – Spurs vs Leeds Utd – Monday 11th May at 8pm
Monday night's clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium carries significant relegation implications following West Ham's defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, with a Tottenham victory lifting them four points clear of the Hammers with two games remaining.
That context alone guarantees Roberto De Zerbi's side will approach this with absolute intent from the first whistle, which opens the game up considerably.
Tottenham's home xGA of 1.33 across the last eight games confirms they give up chances consistently, and their home both teams to score rate of 100% in the last four home games reflects a side that has been involved in open, attacking contests throughout this period.
They have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight home matches, and their home xG of 1.20 across the last eight games means they carry enough attacking threat to contribute to the goal tally themselves.
Leeds arrive with an away xG of 1.51 across the last eight games, creating 12 big chances in eight away fixtures and averaging 9.5 shots inside the box per away game. Every single one of their last four away games has produced more than 1.5 goals.
The combination of Tottenham's defensive vulnerability, Leeds' consistent away attacking output, a head to head record averaging 4.14 goals per game across seven meetings and the high-stakes relegation context makes over 1.5 goals a very well-supported selection for Monday night. Two goals in this fixture looks the minimum rather than the target.
- Bet: Over 1.5 match goals
- Odds: 1/4
- 15.27 units returns 19.08
