    Going to do something different here. Taking a guy not nearly as favored, so since the odds are about half I'm only going to risk half.

    Hey Kiwi

    Interesting idea. I am trying to make sure i understand this. You are starting at $10 and doing every game at -333 odds? And if you do this say 35 times always doing -333 you would win just under $100000 ?

    What if you started with a bit of a higher amount how much of a difference would it make like $20 ,$50,or $100 ? Do you basically just look at any game with -333 odds? Am i looking at this right? So if you got to $5000 a win would be like $1650?

    This does look like fun lol. Neat idea just trying to understand it all.

    ^you learn how to play the board game Monopoly by just watching people play it for a while...all questions will be answered by just watching people do what you're trying to understand...but here's a kwik primer

    basic idea=just keep manually rolling over (aka. snowballing) the original stake and all accumulated profits...continual "all in" with the full original bank--which for this thread's challenge is specified at just $10 so if one snowball melts, just re-load a fresh bank... you can clearly do this with whatever starting-bank amt you wish, but keep it small and fun...$20 bucks will get you to any number in half the time but will also double your accumulated losses on melted snowballs

    key is to choose plays you think will win, mindful that it just takes one loss to kill the entire snowball you've accrued to that point...but even a large snowball that melts only really (ie. absolutely) "cost" you the original ($10) bank...hence the fun--even if you get to a monster-big $-size, it's all "house money" beyond your starter stake

    challenge is to see how big you can get the snowball before you chicken out and say "uncle" cuz you don't want to risk it all...and you always have th option to do like Stammer just did, and pull out some of the windfall and continue with a somewhat-downsized snowball

    Ive made similar wagers. Its fun but when you get to the point where you are risking a decent amount of money. Its hard to just keep doubling down.

    #4a hits, bringing bank#4 to 19.09, which will be staked on #4b (tried to place it on Devin Clark -210ish over Alex Nicholson...but seemed to go off the board at all my books)

    Hmm, lots of excitement over huge fav odds wins, a loss here or two quickly and you'll already be beneath the break even after just ten bets

    Hard to back against Siegemund when she's on one of these runs (made a lot of money on her earlier in the year) BUT Hercog does have the points to defend.

    Yea lol i was watching. I think where i am confused is what the juice is you are betting.Are you just repeatedly doing All-In bets at -350 to -400 ? Or something along that lines?

    Yes - partly. You go all in, but the odds do not have to be $1.20-$1.30. They can be anything you want. The guy above has primarily just picked selections with those odds.

    It's a little hard to follow when they use the american system, but if you start with $10:

    $10 on your first bet of $1.5. Assuming that wins, you now have $15.

    You then put $15 (original $10 + your $5 winnings) on your next bet of $2. If that wins, you have $30.

    You then put your $30 (original $10 + $5 first bet winnings + $15 second bet winnings) on your next bet and so on and so forth.

    whipped up a little excel to see at a glance where i am, and what's up next...
    many small campaigns running simultaneously is the way i like to run with this...

    any new plays get slotted into the next available campaign tray (aka. excel row)
    the "multi-tray way" will smooth out the "all or nothing" variance mr.fear referred to above

    40.00 46.21 6.21 6 1 next next
    # initial latest change W L leg @price
