    Say you start with a bankroll of $500 and your goal is to reach $1,500 ($1,000 profit),what would be your srtategy for trying to reach this goal?All comments are welcomed and thanks in advance.

    aznjeff07 just hit it on the nose. Tail cocknocker, sexymit in WNBA and karyilian in soccer. Also don't try to make it all in 1 week. You have to be patient.

    For capping MLB:
    1.Home underdogs
    2. take the team with the better bullpen, offense, and defense
    3. Ignore the starting pitchers unless they are Lincecum, Halladay, Santana, or some other ace who can go all 9 innings

    1) listen to aznjeff...in my opinion baseball is the trickiest to get hot with, however on the contrary if you tailed my picks last week you already would have turned 500 into 1500 cause I was on fire with baseball...but obviously my streak ended after about a week 2) don't parlay baseball ever 3) fifawcs has some good points too, moreso I like taking 1st 5 innings in a game with two weak offenses and bet the better starting pitcher...avoids the bullpen mess

    Yeah. All I am saying is don't be fooled by the starters. The Indians have some good starters but their bullpen blows the lead everytime they pitch. That is something to consider when capping.

    MLB:
    1) Play road dogs FF when the line is at +150 to +200
    2) Fade all SBR frontpage "free picks" daily
    3) Fade my picks in the SBR 3-pick contest
    4) Fade the Cardinals in the FF whenever they're road favorites
    5) Fade the Yankees in the FF whenever they're favorites of -200 to -300.

    Soccer:
    1) Play draws (+220) in all MLS games
    2) Take the underdog (1st half) when the line is at +500 to +1000, especially when the whole world bet HEAVILY on the favorite
    3) Take UNDER in all FIFA World Cup Qualifier games in Asia.

    Actually quite simple.. Parlay the pirates and yankees tonight. Sometimes you need to forget about lines and odds and just ask yourself.. "who's gonna win the ****ing game?" pavano is a joke and the Yankees will role tonight.

    pavano is one of those guys (kinda like mike hampton) who is a joke yes i agree, but if you bet against him he will throw a gem and dump on your face

    Take $100 and do a 3 team parlay. When that doesn't work, fade the Washington Nationals and Wang. Now if you want the goal done fast, do a parlay every night with better money management, but make sure that you bet the teams straight up also.

    Edit: Oh and it probably helps to pick winners also.

    I'd hit the craps or blackjack table.
