    MitchCranes 1$ - $250 challenge

    So a few weeks ago, i decided to open up the 5dimes account again. I had exactly 1 dollar in the account. So i decided i wanted to try to set a goal. To turn one single dollar into $250. I will be tracking my progress in this thread So far the $1 has grown to currently $67.79 ($5 pending on tomorrows parlay). I think this will be a fun personal challenge for myself to help reach my monetary goal. I will not post my picks, because i know you do not care. I can however, if you wish. My personal two rules of betting are (1. Never bet more then 50% of your total amount. (2. DONT GET GREEDY OR RECKLESS, PLAY SMART. (But you already know that).

    Many of my bets may seem odd, and i do appreciate any advice from veteran gamblers as i am new

    Please note: THIS IS NOT A PICK-GIVING THREAD, i am a complete noob to this and am in no position to give advice, and am merely tracking my progress.

    For those who are interested, here are my bets from the 1 dollar.

    Thank you for identifying that miswording! What i meant was, i WILL be posting my picks, but i am in no way saying that others should follow. I will post my picks merely to hear what people have to say about them. Sorry for the midunderstanding

    Hey thanks a ton man!!! Not as much fun since im sticking to the favs really. It's a really down period in my life, and that $1 was all i had, so to see these numbers climbing is a great thing.
    Also i think my girlfriend is lucky! She has been pressing the Enter key for every bet lol
