Micro Bankroll Challenge

[carolinacapper]

Can't wait til foitball season and gonna try something fun for the rest of the summer. I am depositing the minimum deposit ($50) in a book and try to build it to $500 by Sept 1. I already have my real bankroll saved for the season, this is just for fun and if I bust it's no big deal.
Won't be using normal money management, no way to get to my goal. May even go all in a few times. Will be betting all different sports. Going to track it here and see how far I get.

Play #2

LA Sparks -5.5 (WNBA)

$11 to win $10

Seems like Chicago is slumping, Della Dunne needs to have big game for Chi to stay close. Only worry is 12:30pm start time - will LA be awake???

[carolinacapper]

If it was only this easy...Haha!

Still 2-0
Play #2 LA Sparks -5.5 WInner

Starting Bankroll $50
Current Bankroll $70

Will likely need to be more agressive in bet size so looking at some possible strategies- Maybe all in on a -200/-300 fav? Not sure yet. Stay tuned...only need to make $430 more before Sept 1. If anybody has suggestions feel free to chime in

Good job man keep it up!

[carolinacapper]

Thanks! Really feel good about tonight's bet, line been dropping all afternoon. Just don't see it going over but you never know.

Up to $100 now after DAL/CHI under winner. Going good so far. tempted to try a parlay but I would probably take two large dogs looking for a big payday and end up losing. Need to do some math and see if I went all in on some big faves if I could get to $150 with a couple of lower risk bets. Got some room to work with no on my way to $500. Still pretty happy with doubling my "microroll" after three bets.

Need to be either less selective on plays or raise wager amounts to reach my goal.

Play #5 CFL

Ottawa -6 (-115)

$34.50 to win $30

Gotta step up bet sizes, been looking at this game for a while. Seems like a square play, Ottawa one of best teams vs Saskatchawan who is winless and starting a rookie QB(1st pro start) . However, i just feel that Ottawa's offense should score lots of points going against the worst defense in CFL. However a couple of handicapper I respect are on Sask. so I'm a little uneasy here. A least I'll get to watch some football with a little something riding on it!

Play # 5

Ottawa -6 (-115)
Loser

Record 4-1
Starting Bankroll $50
Current Bankroll $75.50

That one hurt, starting QB for Ottawa get hurt 1st series and out for game. Still, loss is a loss and now need to get back on track. Gonna look toward MLB for today, never had much success in baseball but have a couple plays.

Play #6 Balt/Clev over 9 (-120)
$12 to win $10

Play #7 Wash NATS RL (-130)

$13 to win $10

[carolinacapper]

Just have no feel for MLB...0-2 for the day. Gotta think of a new strategy!

Starting Bankroll $50
Current Bankroll $50.50

[carolinacapper]

Play #8

KC RL (+175)

$10 to win $17.50

Back to MLB one more time, we'll see. If this wins might roll it over again today. I tend to be streaky and if I can maximize my good streaks I can make some $$$ so hope it starts here...
