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.
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.
An end of month update.. (Returns using a £10 stake at Betfair)
Backing Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = +£100.90 after commission Backing the Draw in every game (League and Cup) = -£37.40 after commission Backing the opponents in every game (League and Cup) = -£84.70 after commission Laying Charlton in every game (League and Cup) = -£117.30 after commission All outcomes correct (League + Cup) = +£358.30 after commission
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.
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?
November is in the books. Here is the monthly update after 4 more CAFC wins.
- All returns are to a £10 stake. - 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

Watching Our beloved Charlton sit 7 points clear at the top of the league = Priceless........there are some things that money cant buy for everything else there's mastercard!!!
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).

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)

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

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?
I think betting - badly - is what got them in this mess in the first place Sheffield!
Eventually living in denial has caught up with them , just like it did us !
