If you bet big and followed Paul Octo strictly, you win 8 in a row.
Assuming the pay off rate is 3 to 1.
i.e. $3 for a win if $1 is bet.
That is 3 to the power of 8.
So if you bet $10,000 for a start and if you win, you bet the whole new amount into another match. In bookmaker jargon, this is called an accumulator bet.
You win 8 in a row.
You would have won $65.6 Million.
$10,000.00
1 $30,000.00
2 $90,000.00
3 $270,000.00
4 $810,000.00
5 $2,430,000.00
6 $7,290,000.00
7 $21,870,000.00
8 $65,610,000.00
If you bet very big, say about $100,000 for a start, bet the whole new amount and win 8 in a row.
You would have won $656 Million.
The British bookmakers William Hill offer to buy Paul Octo.
Maybe they want to kill it.
