Please specify what you mean by the current coaching staff. I.e. if the fitness trainer changes, that shouldn't change the bet.

You pick all the games to end in tie?
Yes but not at the same time. You start with a stake (however much you can afford), say $5 on the first game. Say you lose, the next game you double the stake to $10. You keep doubling your stake until there is a draw. You get your money back plus at least 100% on top of what you have lost in total. The you go back to $5.

It doesn't matter what the game is, even if a strong team plays a real weak team, don't try to be clever and skip it. That's the temptation, but it's also where the big win is when the surprise draw happens.
Keep your nerve. Even if you go many games without a draw, don't stop. A draw WILL happen as it always does. In fact, the longer there are no draws, the greater the return when there is one.

I have always won shedloads of money with this method during big tournaments and I swear by it.

You said if CQ becomes a coach, you buy me chelokab --> that is not a bet.
However, if you want to have the same bet as Payandeh Iran, let's go :)

brilliant idea, thanks for sharing.
Just so that you know, it is not a brilliant idea!! To figure out why, imagine playing roulettes the same way in a casino and imagine what can go wrong.

But if you decide to try it out, make sure you start with a small enough bet, so that you can tolerate it when it grows by a factor of 2 every game.

Roulettes odds are incomparable with three outcomes of WLD in a football match.

It's highly unlikely not to get a draw in even the first 10 matches but I agree one should go with small amount ($1, $2, $4, $8 ...)

It is also highly unlikely to get 10 Reds in a row in a Roulette game!! But it does happen. There is no such thing as a "sure bet" strategy. Otherwise everyone would be a winner, which obviously is not possible.

I agree that on paper the concept is flawed. But in practice it works every time. It has for me anyway. I always start with £2. last summer the stake went up to £128 before Spain and Sweden drew but I scooped over £600 which made up for all the loss and some.

Yes, always start with a small stake (or as they say, what you can afford to lose). Remember, you are not playing for life-changing money, just some pocket money and fun. And do not do it on national leagues, only on major tournaments.

Here's an excellent source describing the system and the potential problems:
