    Need to make $2000 to pay for school

    The goal is to be up +$2000 by the end of the summer, betting between $100-300 per game.

    I will quit once I reach +$2000 or fall below -$500.

    June 2nd:

    Indians under 8.5 (-110)
    $220 to win $200

    Better to put it in the bank and collect the interest than taking a chance

    This is not going to end well. There is always community college.

    I dont get it. If youre gonna be betting $100/game, then shouldnt you have a higher bankroll than $2000?

    Man. Hope you are solid...but to be honest, have seen quite a few threads start like this with winners off the bat and then losing streak comes and never hear from them again....whether it be paying off a loan or for school or even 1 guy got layed off a couple months ago and was going to love his dream of sports betting instead of investing. He started out great, then tailed off and eventually was in the red if I'm not mistaken and that was that.
    I hope you are the 1st to make it, cause I don't know 1 that has come out positive.

    I am being very selective so I'll only know by tomorrow. Not forcing myself to bet every day either. We will see!

    First off, if you don't already have a job.... get one. The second you start losing and gettin desperate will be the second you start making desperate plays chasing value and $$. Don't ever rely on gambling alone. Pros on Pregame or Dons best don't just make money off their picks, they make it off people that buy their picks.

    Good idea to just select 1 or maybe 2 that you like per day...if you really see something.
    Good job so far. But find a job to supplement this.

    Great start and I appreciate the hustle. I do think you would be better off if you scaled back the size of your bets and did a little bankroll management. If your goal is to be up $2000 by the end of the summer, you have time to get there. Dial plays down to 5-10% of your bank roll (which was $500 to start, and $800 now after 2 wins) and you will last much longer... either way, its great you aren't forcing plays.

    GL to you

    I'm on both of these, along with Indians.
    But I was on Rockies and Tigers last night and felt good about their chances.
