    Which of the matches above won't end 0-0. Have a think about it, then take a moment before voting. You can vote on more than one match.

    So far:
    Bet 1: Sunderland v Chelsea: +73p
    Bet 2: Norwich v West Brom: +84p
    Bet 3: Watford v Forest: +£1.05
    Bet 4: MK Dons v Charlton: +85p
    Bet 5: Everton v Liverpool: +£1
    Bet 6: Liverpool v Man U: +£1.24
    Bet 7: Newcastle v Wigan: +£1.10
    Bet 8: Everton v Man U +£1.15
    Bet 9: Aston Villa v Norwich: +£1.31


    Current Total = £19.21

    +£1.74 = £20.95

    Stoke QPR Wigan and Blackburn all average 3 goals per match either for or against., Wigan & blackburn are at the bottom of the table and could struggle to score against eachother, so I'm going QPR Stoke.

    Using scientific anaylsis I'll probably get it wrong.

    If it makes any difference, the Stoke v QPR match pays out much better for going against 0-0 than Everton v Wolves does.

    Does our entire stake get bet on each game we select, if so it seems to be a very miserly payout seeing as we have won nine times in a row?

    It does. The odds on 0-0's aren't great, on many you have to bet £14 to get £1 back, on the Man City v Newcastle match you'd have to bet £20 to get £1 back. However, the more you bet, the more returns you'll see, so if we keep winning then the money won will go up. It doesn't seem like much but it's a 90%+ return already. That would take you over 50 years to get at current interest rates.

    We would lose the lot though if we get it wrong, is that right?

    Yes. If we bet on a game that actually ends 0-0 then we lose everything.

    OK, bet placed on Stoke v QPR. If there's a goal we'll win £1.74, taking the total to £20.95.

    If there isn't we lose the lot.

    Think positive

    Assuming we win this one, should we split and place two bets going forward?

    I'd say stick with it. Every bet we make now makes us more cash towards the £100. Splitting it is the safer option but it puts us backwards regarding reaching our goal.

    I'd go further and say why stop at £100 if we get there, let's just keep going until we get ridiculous sums :sign13:.

    Splitting it is a terrible idea.

    It means we are twice as likely to lose half our money!
