    $250 into $1000 challenge
    Like how Chris Ferguson turned $0 into $10,000 on poker, I wanted to challenge myself to do the same in sports.

    Just deposited $250 into RebateWager. With my fees reimbursed that comes out to $265 in my account.
    In this thread I will track all my plays in every sport. My goal is to hit $1000, withdraw $750 and start all over again.
    I make a good amount of plays per day, and sometimes they wont be posted on time for you to tail (or fade) but they will be posted regardless. There will be a lot of first half and second half plays.
    I will try my best to adhere to a few basic rules.
    1. No more than 3 plays going at once
    2. No all-ins
    3. Largest wager will be no more than 20% of current bankroll

    Here we go...

    Current bankroll: $265

                                                      good luck, but i would suggest betting slightly larger amounts 30-40 bucks maybe... With good capping, patience and only taking good picks you can easily make your goal!! I was on the other end of your Tech 2nd half over. It was a pretty easy under imo, I smashed it for 400... I am glad to see you not pyut your whole bank roll on one play, nice discipline, keep up the good work.

                                                            with a small amount i would suggest playing less games and only sticking to ones that you are very confident about. i would suggest maybe 3-4 games a day for $10-$20 each. if you can hit 3/4 or 2/3 each day you will build your bankroll slowly.

                                                            guys, i am a $100/$1000 bettor. this is just a personal challenge to myself and lesson in bankroll management. to show that with good bankroll management (and of course a little luck and skill) you will reduce your chances of going broke, and also that bankroll management and bet sizing is more important than win %

                                                              Only thing is being new to this forum I dont quite have the "lingo", if you will down yet to follow what exactly youre betting. Example in your last one: CBB [2685] 2H LOUISIANA TECH -4½-110 6.00 USD / 5.00 USD
