    My MLB plays for the rest of the season....I will finish +100 units!!!...(with offer)

    I know I know..people claim these outrageous things all the time....but I am very confident that I can do it with only wagering between 1-5 units on each play.

    I have killed it in August and September over the last 7 or 8 years.

    I usually lose focus and stop keeping record when I lose a few days in a row (even if I am still up because I hate when my % takes a hit) but I will not quit this time.

    I will use this thread to keep a running tab on all the plays. I will update it daily.

    And I will make an offer to anyone that wants to accept my challenge:

    I will give anyone who doesnt believe I can accomplish my goal of +100 units by the end of the (post) season 25 betpoints. But if you accept the offer, and post so (declaring your acceptance) in this thread before September 1st, and I do accomplish my goal, then you will have to fork over 75 points to me. (I think 3:1 odds is excellent considering this outrageous, outlandish, near impossible claim on my part)


    So, with that being said, who's in?

    Sounds like an interesting Prop bet sir, I'm in. Risking 75 to win 25. Good luck though, not too sure about the Sox today but then again you couldn't have paid me to take the Brewers yesterday.

    There's definitely good value on your side of the prop

    Well the ones who accepted already have it at 75:25.

    If I am down more than 20 units by Sep 1, I might have to change it to 150:25.

    Okay, I'm in risking 75 to win 25. Please PM me win or lose at the end of the season because there is a good chance I will forget about this. Hopefully you're trustworthy enough to do that. Good luck.

    About as confident as you can be. Hamels has been brilliant of late. They will score some runs tonight.

    Bad start but you will rebound back. Just please don't chase big bets just to make up for units.

    I don't like the finish +100 in threadname. Just seeks attention and then you see a shitty record and get sad that this is just another liar. At least be reasonable man, realistic...

    Good luck in the future though, lets hope you make it as far as you can.

    I will play my usual way. Wont be chasing. You will hardly ever see a 5 unit play. And you will hardly ever see multiple 4 unit plays in one day.

    I am being realistic. I think I can do it. Its a goal. Something to strive for. Lets see where this goes.

    It's not too far fetched, I mean based on his current record now he needs to average around +2.5 units per day to reach the goal. That being said having 42 straight positive days is going to be a struggle but I suppose given his volume and the amount of games on the board it is possible.

    It would likely be easier if he'd allowed himself bets outside of MLB but to each his own, good luck sir.

    You make some good points. And there will be some great days and some poor days. The Mets blowing yesterdays game in the 8th turned a small losing day into a big one. I want this to be only for baseball. We will see how it goes.

    Thanx for the support.
