My $2.50 Challenge

[orangeman51]

Here's what I'm doing: I've taken 500 "betpoints" from my bookmaker account and changed it into $2.50. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to see how much (or little) I can turn that into by betting baseball parlays. Each day, I'll wager on a 2 or 3 team parlay. At least one of the bets will always be a total. I will always bet the full "betpoints" bankroll. So tomorrow's bet will be $2.50. If I win, then the next day's bet will be $2.50 + tomorrow's winnings. If I lose, then I will lose the $2.50 that bookmaker gave me for free and that'll be the end of my challenge. odds are my challenge ends tomorrow or the next day, but if I somehow turn 500 betpoints into thousands of dollars, I want it to be documented here. I'll post my first picks after I put them in sometime tomorrow.

I did it once with a college hoops ML parlay, turned the $2.50 into a few hundred. Its a rush. I have a couple thousand bet points, may try it myself

What are bet points?

[orangeman51]

Betpoints are like frequent flyer miles or credit card points on Bookmaker.com. You get points for making bets. The more you bet, the more points you get. I'm not exactly sure how they calculate how many betpoints you earn per wager, but they accumulate quickly, and you earn them regardless of whether or not you win the bet. You can cash in your betpoints for a variety of things, including frequent flyer miles, merchandise, free payouts, or more money to play with. I've taken 500 betpoints and cashed it out for $2.50, which was instantly added to my bookmaker account.

I'M RICH!!! Not really, but I can head over to Subway and pick up a $5 footlong on bookmaker...and still have change left over woohoo!

Total betpoints bankroll: $8.37

I'll post tomorrow's picks later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Good luck. Hopefully you run it up a couple thousand. It really only takes hitting 5 or so in a row and you'll have a decent chunk of change!!!!
