If you'd stuck £10 on Charlton to win in advance of each game so far this season, how much would you have now? Anyone got some old odds knocking about to be able to work it out?

    For the last 3 seasons I have put a £5 bet on every game to finish 2-2 at an average odds of (17-1 on Betfair) and have been up comfortably each season.

    Errm, I have done. Odds as follows with PP:

    Bournemouth 5/6
    Notts Co 9/5
    Colchester 13/8
    (Scunthorpe 8/11)
    Bury 11/8
    (Sheff W 10/11)
    Exeter 4/7
    Rochdale 13/10
    Chesterfield 8/13
    (mkdons 17/10)
    Sheff U 2/1

    By my reckoning that's 71.30 if you had put a tenner on us to win each game. (My stake's a bit smaller)

    Nice one IdleHans - thanks for that.

    Will be interesting to keep this thread going after every league game as the season progresses.

    I've been keeping track of this using Betfair's odds. They are usually a tick or two above conventional bookies prices. For example - CAFC were nearly 11/10 vs. Bournemouth vs 5/6 in most shops. You do pay 5% commission on winning bets, though.

    So far this season (Using a £10 stake).

    Backing Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = +£93.50 after commission
    Backing the Draw in every game (League and Cup) = -£29.30 after commission
    Backing the opponents in every game (League and Cup) = -£62.60 after commission
    Laying Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = -£105.90 after commission
    All outcomes correct (League + Cup) = +£280.10 after commission

    Prices were taken sometime during the 24 hours prior to kickoff.

    Laying Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = -£117.30 after commission
    All outcomes correct (League + Cup) = +£358.30 after commission

    Nice one Paddy.

    Now, for the big question - has anyone on here backed us to win in every game so far and so is now sitting on a 1000% return on their intial investment?

    I have, cups excluded. Only trouble is my stake is so small that it's barely enough for a good night out.
    Mind you, I've done it in seasons past too, but generally given up when it became clear that the odds might be attractive for a reason.

    Time to up your stake IdleHans - a 1000% return (more if you exclude cup games) is not to be sniffed at!

    Notts Co 9/5
    Colchester 13/8

    Bury 11/8
    (Sheff W 10/11)
    Exeter 4/7
    Rochdale 13/10
    Chesterfield 8/13
    (mkdons 17/10)
    Sheff U 2/1
    (Tranmere 8/13)
    (Stevenage 11/8)
    Carlisle 4/5
    Wycombe 10/11
    Hartlepool 13/10

    Returns would now be £81.39 at £10 per match (all paddy power prices)

    So a 700%+ return then - not bad.

    Where else would you get that sort of short term return?

    It could be the 2nd question in the referendum


    2. Shall we put all remaining funds on Charlton away to Brentford

    Ha ha, no worries - I get ya.

    To be fair, it sounds a better option - "20% tax increase or everything we have left - including naming rights on the Acropolis - on  a Charlton away win." Couldn't really get much worse, could it?

    Apparently they've been backing us since curbs left
    Eventually living in denial has caught up with them , just like it did us !

    - The odds used are from BETFAIR (nobody who bets on football should be without an account there, and no I don't work for them..).
    - The prices are taken within 24 hours of kick off.

    Backing Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = +£146.50 after commission
    Backing the Draw in every game (League and Cup) = -£77.40 after commission
    Backing the opponents in every game (League and Cup) = -£124.70 after commission
    Laying Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = -£165.90 after commission
    All outcomes correct (League + Cup) = +£403.90 after commission

    After completing the Sheffield double, I think it's time for another update.

    - All returns are to a £10 stake.
    - The odds used are from BETFAIR .
    - The prices are taken during the 24 hours prior to kick off.

    Backing Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = +£164.60 after commission
    Backing the Draw in every game (League and Cup) = -£88.00 after commission
    Backing the opponents in every game (League and Cup) = -£152.20 after commission
    Laying Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = -£190.20 after commission
    All outcomes correct (League + Cup) = +£563.80 after commission
  • February is done and dusted. Time for another update.

    - All returns are to a £10 stake.
    - The odds used are from BETFAIR .
    - The prices are taken during the 24 hours prior to kick off.

    Backing Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = +£185.10 after commission
    Backing the Draw in every game (League and Cup) = -£29.70 after commission
    Backing the opponents in every game (League and Cup) = -£222.20 after commission
    Laying Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = -£205.90 after commission
    All outcomes correct (League + Cup) = +£712.70 after commission

    If you'd put the same amount on Charlton for every game this season, it's now impossible to lose money. (Currently an +18.51 Level Stake Profit with a maximum of 16 games left if we go to the play-off final).

    Nice one Paddy. So, if you went in with a £10 stake you'd now be sitting on £185.10.

    Gutted I never did it now. Seriously thinking about doing it next season though.
