Ok so I've been very slack lately, not to worry, Arsenal's performance was excellent last night, I'm in my new flat and now have use of a swimming pool, and I got paid today (although not as much as I hoped). This does mean that I am ready to go out on the beers big time this weekend, boat race starting just down the road by Putney bridge, see you there losers

The proposition

I am going to start by saying if this works I will be very surprised. If I was a gambling man I would bet against it but for the sake of social experimentation I am willing to give this a go. For this experiment, I am going to stake a huge quantity of my own money, a whole tenner in fact (equivilant of nearly 4 pints of lager in Wetherspoons, 5 packs of Biltong, 100 miles worth of diesel if I could get my car to start or a hand shandy of the minger from Girls Aloud). So, what is this exciting new sociological experiment I am talking about, well, here it is plain and simple.....

I want to turn £10 into £1000 within the next month, I think it is possible if we are clever about it. So 30 days, that is roughly 17% increase day on day, the first day we should be up to £11.70 and then £13.7, £16 and so on until we hit the £1000 around day 29. This £1000 will then be going behind a bar somewhere in London for all participants to enjoy a few beers and plan the next one. The smart ones of you out there, you know who you are, will have noticed the word participants, this refers to those people who are willing to send me tips on a regular basis, I think 10 over the course of the next 30 days should do it, for horses, dogs, football teams, rugby teams and any other sort of team or individual you think can win something which we can bet on. The choice of bets will be down to me along with how we stake the money but ultimately those who take part should feel involved with the process.

I am going to start off proceedings with a bet on Arsenal to go through to the next round of the Champions League, I know it's tomorrow but not a lot I can do about that as the games today are all a bit sketchy, I will update if I see something good though or if someone emails in any suggestions that get approved.
