    The $5000 Project
    Hello Everyone,

    I have been following these forums and threads very closely for the last several months. I have been very impressed with some of the handicapping, system plays, and overall banter displayed by several of the members throughout that time. I have been handicapping games for the last 7 years and have consistently turned a profit. I currently have a bankroll of $5000 in an online sportsbook. I want to take it upon myself to turn that amount into $20K. Once I hit that mark I will stop. I will be using money management principles and you will not find me unloading all of my bankroll on one single play to chase any losses. Most of my plays will come from my own handicapping skills but I will be pulling from other sources along the way. I encourage each of you to follow along and play my plays as well. I would appreciate any banter or questions along the way if you have them. I will be posting my plays later on today.

    Thanks and Good Luck!

        Bet 5000 $ on a parlay: Bobcats +11,5 & Denver -5,5 = Then you got ~ 20000 $

            No you won't. We all say we will stop and never gamble again when we hit that mark. Never happens

              John,

              With all due respect, this is a public forum and anyone can post here. Everyone who comes onto this website has a mutual interesting in betting sports and making money. If I can help people with this then by all means why not post my thoughts and selections. Now if you want to have a contest that is fine as well. You can simply follow my plays throughout the process. Best of Luck!

                Its not about stopping, its about reaching a goal I have laid out for this thread and any of the members who choose to follow it. I encourage you to follow along as well.

                    take that $5,000, and if you can make it up to $20,000 cash out $15,000 and keep gambling with that 5k. Even if you lose it all, youre still up 10 g's!!!! plus nobody here wants to stop gambling, be real!

                      ^ Perfect plan Patsfan. I'm in the process of trying to do just that (on a smaller scale - started with $1,500, want to cash out at $6,000).

                        well you'd prob want to just withdraw the 5g, beacuase then ur playign with all profit. And if you can turn 5g into 20g steadily, then u can do some good stuff with 15g as long as u manage bankroll accordingly

                          Why take Orlando 1st QTR? yes they have a great 1st QTR record but Phoenix isn't too shody either at around 50%, plus Orlando hasn't been playing too great.

                          What about Cleveland 1st QTR at -3.5, they win 75% of theirs are in prett good form and Kings 1st QTR win rate is awfull.

                            I definately gonna hang around and see what u have to offer. I will tail you if your plays make sense. But in regards to your original post you made it seem like once you get to 20K you will stop gambling. We all set goals and its definately obtainable, we never stop. Good luck, My plays

                                Ok guys we hammered Orlando 1st quarter wasn't even close. I really wish I would have told each of you to hammer this play but in order to keep the integrity of this thread I did not break the bank for it.

                                We want to stay with this game and play Magic in the 3rd quarter at a pk price.

                                Magic 3rd Qtr pk

                                  Took loss on the 3rd quarter with the pacers hitting a shot with .7 secs on the clock.

                                  Late action in a game where I love the line:

                                  Play Byu +4
                                  660 to win 600

                                    Hey Guys,

                                    We had an unbelievable night last night and a great start to this project. Here are the results:

                                    Plays 1/27/09

                                    Over 193 Spurs
                                    440 to win 400 WIN

                                    Magic 1st Qtr -2.5
                                    330 to win 300 WIN

                                    Western Mich +1.5
                                    440 to win 400 LOSS

                                    Northeastern
                                    220 to win 200 WIN

                                    Magic 3rd Qtr pk
                                    330 to win 300 LOSS

                                    BYU +4
                                    660 to win 600 LOSS

                                    The two losses we had last night were both on last second shots. You simply can't handicap that, but I was on the right side of the game. Bottom line is winning and that is what we did last night!

                                    Record: 3-3
                                    Bankroll: $4,470

                                      11:43 pm. Where did you see BYU game over and won? I am looking at sportsinsights.com (premium member) and there is still 7:27 left in the game and score 61/61? What's site did you use, or you are at the game?

                                                are you betting these plays? if you are not sure you could of made a mistake like that since balance would always be right or you just recording your plays?

                                                at least you edit it to be 3-3 but you forgot to edit the paragraph under it saying a winning night but did edit the balance

                                                well best of luck on today's game

                                                    Just wondering...I did not follow any of your picks but you mention a great start to this project, losing $400. Could you explain?

                                                    We had an unbelievable night last night and a great start to this project. Here are the results:

                                                    The two losses we had last night were both on last second shots. You simply can't handicap that, but I was on the right side of the game. Bottom line is winning and that is what we did last night!

                                                    Record: 3-3
                                                    Bankroll: $4,470

                                                            even the Grizzlies could beat East Carolina by 15

                                                              Not trying to discourage you or be a wise guy but a $530 loss from a $5000 bankroll is not what you call a good start. Anyway I wish you all the luck in the world. I do like your Pitt and UTEP picks.
