    The 5 in a row experiment
    Hi guys,

    I'm going to try something different (well different for me at least). I hit a +1100 parlay in week 17 of the NFL, and I am putting all of the winnings towards this experiment.

    I am going to take $100, and attempt to roll it over 5 times. I have 10 attempts to do it, and if I can successfully get 5 in a row only once in the 10 attempts, it will pay out 2.5 x my initial bankroll. If I pick a loser, I move on to my next attempt using the next $100.

    If I lose the whole lot, well I'm just going to treat it as if my parlay never hit in the first place. (I had Seahawks -6.5 as an alternate line so I'm pretty lucky it hit anyway).

    I am probably going to get the usual SBR haters who say it can't be done, and while I am all for constructive criticism, I would appreciate people bringing something to the table so we can all benefit.

    I will most likely only make 1 play on any given day, but if I like 2 picks on the same day and cannot roll the first into the second, I will parlay them (same result).

    As the parlay paid out +1100, my first attempt will start with $200 so I will only need to pick 4 in a row to reach my target payout.

    Hopefully I can have some fun with this and hit a hot streak somewhere along the way.

                      How do you win 700 on 300 risk?

                        I think it's the risk+win amount put together..That would make more sense.

                            It's return rather than win... most European bookies list it that way.

                            Good luck! You hit 3 so far... 2 more to go? Will you be playing rockets tomorrow?

                              Smart idea. May have to try this. 5 in a row shouldnt be that bad for anyone if you are patient enough. good luck

                                Sorry for the confusion guys, the win amount includes the risk amount which is how Aussie books calculate it.

                                I usually would subtract risk amount from return amount to show profit or win, but have left the risk in amount as I am rolling winnings and stake over if I win anyways.

                                With this is experiment, I'm looking to go from:
                                Play #1 - $100 to $192
                                Play #2 - $192 to $368
                                Play #3 - $368 to $707
                                Play #4 - $707 to $1358
                                Play #5 - $1358 to $2609

                                      What a way to hit that play. Kickoff return to start the second half.

                                      Looking at making an early play back on the NBA again tonight.

                                              Thanks for the support premier wagers. I'm not having much luck at this capping business so i'm thinking of just putting 100 units a day on all the square ML favs. Got any tips?

                                                    I'm on the OVER 101.5 for the 1H. GL


                                                    If you weren't doing the "double up 5x experiment" you would be doing fairly well (5-3) so far. But I love that you are trying something that we all thought before but weren't brave enough to do it

                                                    GL to you

                                                      Thanks.

                                                      I've always wanted to give this a go and I figured hitting that parlay was the best way to bankroll it.

                                                      Got very lucky with today's play. 68 points in the first quarter and only cracked 200 in overtime.

                                                      I got over confident on attempt #3 and rushed into the Pacers pick on the back of an easy Broncos over so I am going to pick my spots more carefully from now on.

                                                      Congrats on your 1H hit today too!

                                                            What about doing something like pushing it 3 bets, then starting over but raising your bet amount? 5-0 is possible. I was 6-0 on my NCAAB bets to start season, but it is so rare. A lot of sooooooo close but just misses will take a toll on your heart.
