    Went to pull the trigger but odds changed and lost quite a bit of value so didn't play it. Guess I'll be cheering the Kings on

    ATTEMPT 1 - BET 6
    Townsville Crocs ML to def Adelaide 36ers (NBL)
    $295.48 to win $88.64

    Crocs are 7-2 at home, 36ers are 3-7 away.

    Last met:
    2/1 - Crocs 79 def 36ers 69

    Again, an element of risk here but both played 2 nights ago, Crocs in Cairns and 36ers in Melbourne which would advantage Townsville due to less travel and climate/humidity. Townsville is probably one of the toughest places to travel as well and the 36ers are coming off 5 straight losses, relatively confident with this play.

    You known why you had nervous moments? I was bored and decided to tail. I never seem to get an easy win =p. Weren't you at 100 yesterday? I should have tailed you =p with 100 dollars of my own from the start.

    Ahh so that's why?! Adelaide did challenge at some stages the last time they played as well so it was always a possibility but when they were down 8 at one stage I was getting very worried.

    Yep, $100 yesterday, just doing some research on my next play. Looks like it will be women's tennis more than likely which traditionally is not a good idea but I've got a couple of games I like.

    ATTEMPT 1 - BET 7
    Mona Barthel to def Julie Coin (WTA Paris - Qualifying)
    $384.12 to win $96.03

    Rank:
    Barthel 43
    Coin 283

    Barthel is on a tear and recently won the Hobart Open. So far this year she is 12-2 on hardcourt with her losses coming from Azaranka (ranked 1st) at the Aus Open who went on to win it and Lisicki (ranked 14th).

    Coin I don't know alot about but I don't think she's beaten anyone in the top 100. Seems to play alot of challengers and qualifiers. Only worrying sign is she won her last match 6-0, 6-0 although can't see that happening against Barthel.

    Using a recent common opponent (and I love this stupid logic so bear with me ), Barthel beat Cetkovska 7-5, 6-3 and Coin lost to Cetkovska 6-4, 6-3. By that sound logic this should be an easy win

    3 bets away!

    Bank: $480.15

    Getting to the business end now. Had a quick look and nothing jumped out at me so no play for now, don't want to force it. I'm actually at $380 profit in 36 hours, that's probably as good as I've ever run

    Wanted to tail again but it was like -500 at my book. Way to it.

    Ahh did everything but click submit then

    Couple of things I don't like about Barthel's opponent for this one; left handed, took a set off Hantuchova earlier this year as well as nearly beating Kirilenko. I'll probably regret not submitting but will wait for a better spot.

    Looking at Atlanta hosting Phoenix tomorrow or maybe the Bulls at New Jersey although BW making it his square play is worrying.

    This is interesting. I might follow your picks and try this tactic. Are you going to stop at 1000?

    Yep 3 more plays to 1000 although the bank and restart the system at 600 (ie 500 profit) has entered my head.

    Barthel ended up winning 6-3, 6-4 fuuuu

    Chicago bulls ML to def New jersey nets

    As road faves Chicago are 10-4 SU with losses to Philly, Memphis, Atlanta and GSW.

    As home dogs the nets are 0-6.

    Atlanta's recent form makes it a no play for me. The only worrying thing for me is BW is on the nets.

    I thought about in hockey, there is a prop bet that asks "Will the game go to overtime?" The average odds for this is -380 to -420. Just a thought.

    I usually only bet on sports I know well and I've probably seen maybe 2 games of NHL ever. I like to feel like I have an edge (even if i don't haha).

    I think you should bank your profit and restart that way all this wasn't a waist. Now you will have more followers if you do restart haha But I plan on doing something like this but I'm not confident in picking ML with that high of value so I would like to follow you.

    Bank and restart had you gone with the Hawks you could have easily gone bust. If you go 3 in a row after the restart well, you can worry about that then. I say restart.

    I think if you restart you can still consider the project a success, and perhaps start another streak where this time you won't restart. No reason to risk an already successful venture on a flawed scheme that may implode. Basically I'm saying do you think you're closer to the top of the hill? Well maybe it's a good idea to take a break- cause if you fall off now you'll have to start your climb all over.

    If you can climb the mountain once- what is to say you can't climb it again?

    Also when you started didn't you say you planned on running this more than once. Well if it goes wrong now- you have 5 free bullets if ya restart =p. There are pros to not restarting obviously but I think there are more cons.

    Def. restart. U have $400+ profit - so get it out in order to atleast show profit for this experiment.

    And then find a sportsbook with a 100% deposit bonus so u can get a head start with $200. The rollover requirements will be no issue with this strategy so u will be able to cashout once u get ur $200 > $1,000.
