Hey guys I remember there used to be a guy on here who would start with $100 and bet on say a $1.30 option then say it wins he would bet $130 on another 1.30 option then he would have $169 and put that all on another $1.30ish option, after 7-10 plays you would have made 1k. I remember he had some success with this system and obviously a good idea would be once you'd made over $100 to withdraw that so you're playing with house money. I'm considering trying this, does anyone else remember the guy who used to do this and have a link to his thread?

After 7-10 plays you'd almost certainly have lost one, and thus have nothing.Comment -
Not necessarily, I'm not denying there are going to be times where your streak comes to the an end early but the whole purpose of this is to be picking sure winners, and yes I know there is no such thing as a sure winner in sports but you know what I mean. I know there was a guy on here who several successful runs with this system I just can't remember his name!Comment -
Had you considered that if they were "sure winners", they won't be priced anywhere close to 1.3?Comment -
Sigh I should have known there was going to be a bunch of closed minded bastards on here.
HUY people like you are what is wrong with this forum and this world in general, you think you know it all you arrogant sob. Don't try and lecture me on betting, yes I know it's been drummed into your head the only way to make money is by having a bankroll and betting 2-5% per bet, I'm well aware of how it's done. I don't need your prejudice in here.
I'm asking for anyone who actually remembers the guy who used to do this and had success with this system.
This is not something I plan on doing long term, simply something I want to try as a project to see if I can have some success, jesus christ.Comment -
i remember the guy, but i don't remember what his posting handle was. if i remember correctly, he was successful at it, multiple times. he would keep going all-in each time until he got to either $1k or $2k, then he would restart over again back at $100. these aren't necessarily the numbers he was using, they're just examples because i don't remember what he used.Comment -
thanks for the response, yeah he definitely had success with in multiple times, i wish i could find his thread to go back and look over it!Comment -
Here is 7 wins in a row on a much smaller scale and most of the odds are lower than $1.30 but a $1.90 and $3 option at the end, although the $3 option was only a small bet but yeah you get the idea.

This guy had a somewhat successful run, kind of fell apart at the end.
Last page of that thread is a link to a new thread he started. Supposedly a friend got on his computer and lost his roll on an all in.Comment -
Cheers man, that's what I was after! Just shows it can be doneComment -
I don't have the slightest intention of telling anyone how they're gonna spend their money, and I have no problem with you trying to find the guy who used to lose money betting with a silly system; the only issue I have is that this question should not be asked in this forum because this forum's rules explicitly prohibit the discussion of systems, "system" here meaning a strategy of betting that does not rely on statistical analysis but rather on simple predefined rules that anyone can apply in a few seconds.
So follow the etiquette and go to PT.Comment -
Shows what can be done? I can bet 30 of the 37 numbers on a european roulette wheel and place $10 on each number 1-30. I place $300 in bets and if I hit, I get back $360. I take the $360, and now I bet $12 on numbers 1-30, if that hits I win $72 giving me $432 total. I take $18 out of my pocket so I can add that to the $432 and bet $15 on numbers 1-30, if that hits I win $90 and now I have $540. For the 4rth spin, I take the $540 and bet $18 on numbers 1-30 and if that hits I win $108 and have a grand total of $648, meaning I profited $330, slightly more than doubling my money. And I will be successful 43.22% of the time. SO WHAT? I'm still destined to lose 7.69% of whatever I bet if I play a zillion times.
Just because somebody happens to win 4 times in a row on a -430 prop (which is aprx. what the above example is) doesn't mean a $@#&ing thing.Comment -
For a bunch of smart mother f*kers you guys sure lack in reading comprehension. The op asked if anyone remembered the thread/poster. Nowhere did he ask for advice or feedback. Doesn't matter if you're right, your responses reek of smugness. Makes you no better than a troll.Comment -
Vegasreaper has a thread where he does this and he has made a lot of money doing so. He sticks to odds between -300 to -700. I don't know the reasoning behind that, but I like the idea. Since I am not a handicapper myself, my thoughts are to follow a few proven longterm winners and just play their Wagers where the moneyline is between perhaps -300 and -800 or so. My thoughts are that for proven handicappers, they already see an edge on the spread, so taking the moneyline on their releases where they play a favorite may be worth putting into a moneyline parlay. Perhaps and example would be playing RAS and his favorite releases on the moneyline (odds between -300 and -800). Thoughts?
If anyone has any ideas of Cappers or twitter Cappers who do something like this, I would be interested in talking more.
Thanks!Comment -
Thanks for all the positive responses, will be ignoring the communists.
by no means do i intend of using this as my primary betting method but as a project and something to do every now and again i like it.Comment -
Pro players don't bet on short odds. Hard to find value on short odds. Square players enjoy parlaying short odds..and guess what? They always miss jackpot by 1 one game, lol.Comment -
Helpful info. Needed !
So I apologize since this is not applicable to this exact post but I wasn't sure where else to post this so here goes...Okay so I have been thinking forever of something to do in order to make a decent profit. I have a job, but it is nowhere near making me enough to feel like I'm doing 'okay'. So I have been searching for an alternative means of making money. I have researched MULTIPLE opportunities and cannot come up with anything that sticks. My transportation is limited so basically I was thinking of something I can do as far as flipping items such as bikes, game consoles, or laptops, but truthfully I don't think any of them would stick and I probably don't have the funds to get started. So what else is there that you can do from home ??? Online Poker...or of course Sports Betting. Now as I have stated I don't have much of a 'bankroll' to work with period, and am a complete novice to SB all together. I guess my question to all of you is one that you all have heard a million times. Can somebody realistically make decent money betting on sports ? Also, if somebody was to start with 50-100 bucks to begin would they be completely wasting their time ? I love sports like all of you and the studying of the games and evaluations of a predicted outcome definitely has its appeal. But all I'm asking is can you seriously make a decent profit and start very small ? Any info. is helpful, and please remember I'm new at this so go easy. Thanks.Comment -
No. If you want to spend the next 2 to 5 years learning and building models and then you save up a big bankroll then if you are really good, smart, and disciplined you may be able to supplement your income. But less than 2% make money at all in the long run and the percentage of people that actually do it for a living are miniscule and they usually have huge bankrolls (250K plus). If most people spent the time doing just about anything else they would end up making more money than they do sports betting. But starting with $50 to $100 most people, bet way too high a percentage of their bankroll. With a bankroll of $100, bets should be a max of $5 and really should be $1 to $3. I consider a good year making 50%. And if your bankroll is $100 I assume you can't hire a programmer so to do some of things your really need to do to make money, you will be busting your ass for 2 years, learning to program to scrape stats, learning how to use Databases, Statistical packages etc. And with your bankroll that would all be to turn $100 into $225 to $500. Now maybe getting programming/database/statistical skills is a big enough benefit in itself, but trust me when I say there is no free lunch and the ratio of people that do this to really supplement their income versus the number of people that lose everything including their families is so out of whack I wouldn't make sports betting part of your retirement plan. If you really watch a sh*t ton of sports and think your knowledge is better than everybody else, I would suggest looking into Daily Fantasy sports and small 50/50 contests. Who knows what the future holds for Daily Fantasy, but right now it is legal, easier to beat than the bookie, and the social stigma will be much lower with your friends/family.Comment -
I remember the guy OP.Comment -
Please don't hijack threads. And the answer to your question is "no". It's not possible to start with 50-100 bucks and make enough money to supplement your income. You need years and years of statistical research to make money betting sports, and even then it's almost impossible.Comment -
I'm pretty sure the poster was mcduggly, was definitely interesting to follow-- sorry on my phone so i can't find it but I'm pretty sure that is who made the initial thread.Comment -
I did something similar when I bet horses years ago. A friend of my Father's played a $20 show parlay where he'd start with $20 bet the favourite to show & then parlay the winnings on the favourite to show in the next race.
On average a favoutite pays $2.40 to show. So in a ten race card you can do the math to figure out what you'd be wagering on the favourite to show. Problem is the favourite on wins barely 50% of races & shows just shy of 80% of the time.
I remember getting 7 races straight & instead of betting the $50 I had on me I chickened out & bet $100 show on a middle favourite.
I also went 8 in a row on line & the Bet365 limits for show betting was $500 at the time so I had to stop.
Huy, I have to agree with OP, I don't know that you actually understood what the question was here. If this isn't the propper forum to discuss betting strategies, I don't know where is. Besides, if an admin feels this should be in PT that's where it'll go, after your posts, I was surprised that this wasn't salooned!
If Davopnz tries this a couple of times, It'd be cool if he pre-posts his bets here. Not so cool if he dumps $400 in 6 games but if he can get to 7 I'd be checking in. Sucks that if he looses one he might have to wager 5 grand to realize a $100 profit.Comment
