    a holy sh!t day

    Not wanting to rub it in to anyone who may have lost on Saturday, but I'm so pumped I had to let you guys know about it.

    Two weeks ago I opened an account with BetJam with $500. Made a little the first week, then went on a losing skid and was down to $283 going into Friday.

    Friday finally had a good day, going 5-2 and winning about $250 because I slammed the Phils.

    Saturday, 6-1 on straight bets anywhere from $40- $60 each.
    Had Atl -1.5 RL, ChW, ChW/Fla under, Oak, Atl/ Pitt under, SD, and my only loser on Milwaukee who almost pulled off the incredible comeback. A great day indeed, but I had a few other games I liked, so I said to hell with it and put in a 6 team round robin parlay- only $5 per bet. A total of 58 parlays. Stupid, right?

    My 6 teamer:
    Atl
    Oak
    Cin
    Ariz
    SD
    Ariz/Tor ^9.

    Cashed em all. Hit it for about $2500. I haven't bet for about 10 years until a couple weeks ago, but this was my 2nd best hit ever.

    I'll probably never do it again, but I had to tell someone. You guys are great with all the advice. Thanks to everyone who influenced me.

    That was the first thing that popped into my head, but I gotta wait 30 days- which will be June 12th, but I'm not gonna raise the stakes too much- and will definitely keep back that nickel plus another one.

    when I started 20 years ago, I couldn't have. Now that I am 40 and have things to lose, I think I can.

    Sometimes is just meant to happen

    We all hope that someday something like that will happen to each of us.

    That's great to hear I'm happy for you.Now just keep your cool and realize how fortunate you were and I would not think your invincible as you can lose it just as fast as you won it if so be smart my friend and again it's good to see someone win big for a change.Take care.

    $5 each on 6 team round robin. Total of 58 bets.

    For the other person who asked, round robin is when you take each team and parlay it with the other teams in your round robin.

    In this case team 1vs2, 1v3, 1v4, 1v5, 1v6, etc. Every combo of 2, 3, 4, 5, and one 6 team parlay.

    with those 6 teams, BTW, the 6 teamer was risk $5 to win $185.82. So, in that example each of the 58 bets won, the best payoff being ^, and the lowest was a 2 teamer between Atl & Ariz which paid $5 for $8.97. Everything else was in between.

    total win on the RR was risk $290 to win a little over $2K. rest was from the straight bets.
