I will start with 1000 euros wine cellar for the whole year.
I will only play threes or fours with coverage in double chances or open doubles.
Each match or a bet of 20 euros or two bets of ten euros.
With 20 euros per match you will never reset your wine cellar. How many games does Ligue 1 have? I mean, isn't the wine cellar big from the moment you make such bets? And what do you mean by coverage? What are open doubles? I do not own it.

Family of Barnsley FC volunteer who suffered cardiac arrest at stadium praise club's response.
A man who collapsed beside the pitch ahead of Barnsley's clash with Burton Albion 'would not be here now' were it not for the club's rapid response, his family has said.
Stephen Croft was airlifted to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest, and his family said last night he was stable but in a poorly condition.
Barnsley FC said Stephen is a long-serving club volunteer and a popular member of the match day staff.
A statement published on the club's website said: "Stephen is exceptionally well thought of and today's news has devastated the staff, as well as the Barnsley community.
"We would like to place on record our sincerest thanks to everyone connected to Burton Albion FC for their help and swift action in assisting Stephen during the incident."

"He is now stable but in a poorly condition in Hospital, at Sheffield Northern General. Without their rapid response, he would not be here now.
"The family would like to thank both sets of fans for their dignity and understanding. This sort of incident brings out the best in people and that can be seen today in the stands and on the pitch at Oakwell. They are a credit to both teams.
"The family is humbled by the messages of support already received.

[h = 1]Plymouth Argyle striker Ryan Taylor in ankle injury setback and is now set for a scan [/ h]Striker Ryan Taylor was absent from Plymouth Argyle's squad for the 2-1 defeat away to Charlton Athletic because of the recurrence of an ankle injury.
It is a problem which has affected the 30-year-old since towards the end of last term.
Taylor missed much of the pre-season in July but recovered in time to start the first couple of League One games.
Since then the target man has made a further seven appearances as a substitute. He came off the bench in the 1-0 defeat by Blackpool at Home Park on September 15 but was not fit to play against Charlton.
Argyle manager Derek Adams said: "He has an ankle injury. He has been feeling it for a while.
“He just felt he could not carry on. It's the same injury he had last season. "
Taylor did not train last Thursday and Friday ahead of the game against Charlton.
Adams said: "He has got to get a scan just to see what the problem is."
In the absence of Taylor, and other injured players, strikers Calum Dyson and Alex Fletcher were added to the Argyle substitutes.
It was the first time that Dyson, a summer signing from Everton, had been part of a matchday squad for the Pilgrims. Second-year professional Fletcher had also not been involved this season prior to the visit to The Valley.
Adams had spoken about injuries to Lionel Ainsworth, Niall Canavan, Conor Grant and Jamie Ness before the game against Charlton. But Taylor and right-back Joe Riley were also ruled out of the fixture in south-east London.
Ashley Smith-Brown, in the past a left-back for Argyle, played on the opposite side of defense as a result.
Adams said: “Joe Riley has got a knee injury. He came off at Bristol Rovers and then played on. ” Riley was substituted at half-time against Rovers but then came through the whole game for Argyle when they lost to Blackpool.
Adams thought Smith-Brown, a Manchester City academy graduate, coped well at right-back.
He said: “I thought he was probably our best player. He did really well. He's left or right-footed. ” Argyle's injury list is now a very lengthy one, with Scott Wootton, Gary Sawyer and Antoni Sarcevic all picking up problems against Charlton and being substituted.
[h = 1]Plymouth Argyle captain Gary Sawyer on crutches after a 2-1 defeat at Charlton Athletic [/ h] Skipper Gary Sawyer left The Valley on crutches with a foot injury after winless Plymouth Argyle lost 2-1 to Charlton Athletic. The 33-year-old left-back was substituted at half-time because he could not put any weight on his foot. The severity of the problem will be assessed by the Pilgrims' medical staff this week. It came on a soaking wet afternoon in south London when center-back Scott Wootton and midfielder Antoni Sarcevic also had to be taken off because of injuries.
Argyle were beaten by Charlton, despite scoring an early goal through Graham Carey, with an 88th minute strike from Karlan Grant. They now have a long casualty list to add to their bad run of results in League One. Manager Derek Adams said: “Gary Sawyer has got a foot injury. He's on crutches at this moment in time. "I'm not sure what the problem is. He was struggling to put pressure on his foot. ”
Adams explained that Sawyer did not know how the injury had happened and there had been no option but to take him off at half-time. It led to Gregg Wylde, usually an out-and-out winger for Argyle, playing at left-back. Wylde was part of a makeshift defense which included Peter Grant making his debut as a first half substitute for Wootton.
Adams said: "Gregg Wylde can play at left-back. I have played him there before, but not in a senior game.
"He's quick so nobody was going to run him and he's left-sided. It allowed us not to alter the shape of the team too much. ”
Argyle had to make a trio of substitutions within 20 minutes either side of half-time. The first was Grant for Wootton, who had been recalled to the starting line-up because of a groin injury to center-back Niall Canavan. Wootton hobbled out of action with a thigh problem in the 38th minute after Argyle goalkeeper Matt Macey made a penalty save from Charlton's Lyle Taylor.
Grant replaced him having not previously been in a matchday squad for the Pilgrims all season. Adams said: “He did well. It was not easy coming on at Charlton and making your debut.
“I thought he defended his box well. He made a lot of good clearances and headers and was a direct replacement for Scott Wootton. ” Wylde replaced Sawyer for the start of the second half before Argyle had to make their third and final substitution.
It came in the 53rd minute when David Fox was sent on for midfielder Antoni Sarcevic, who had a stomach injury.
Fox almost rescued a point for Argyle in stoppage time with a shot which went narrowly wide.
Adams will have to wait to find out more about the extent of the injuries to Wootton, Sawyer and Sarcevic before the visit of Doncaster Rovers to Home Park next Saturday.
Fenerbahce wanted to postpone the April 7 derby with Galatasaray for the Turkish Super Cup at the mercy of...Olympiakos, but its specific request was not accepted by the country's football federation.
I was going to write it in the morning but it didn't come from the mobile phone. The non-religious, as was normal, said that they would not accept the postponement of the match. Our team applied for a postponement and from what I read, they said that the match should be held at the end of the championship, but the Federation, which has poured itself on it and still has to make the decision on the "penalties", did not accept it.
A few days before the Fenerbahce meeting, the meeting that Hugh Dallas had with the referees and the talks about the Galatasara-Antalyaspor match came to the fore, where the VAR referee admits that he made a mistake in the penalty that the Galatasaray player took, where in fact he said that the player "dive" in the small contact he had that was not for a penalty. Our President also spoke about this phase where he said what was happening and the Federation found him a liar, nice things
