Being Roag Part 2 - $200 to $10,000 in 6 months

[RoagBettor]

Thanks guys. I'll try not to "Go Roag" again anytime soon. At least we recovered nicely from that bad run when I chased.

World Cup tomorrow, I'll have a play on the early game not sure about Brazil/Chile though (maybe 2H).

5 WNBA games on tap for Tuesday. I have my eye on Phoenix/Atlanta it'll be interesting to see what the total opens up at. I'm guessing around 188. I'm pretty sure I'll be sprinkling a little on the Mercury ML also.

My strategy going forward will be less plays for higher amounts, selecting only the games I consider my strongest bets.

Have a great night and thanks for the continued support of this project!

I'm with you on that. Thanks for the winners today.

Play #50:

World Cup 6/28/10

Brazil -1.5 +175

$50 to win $87.50

[sterkarm]

Gotcha. I'm tailing it with a little twist. I parlayed this with yankees -1.5 +160 jus for the fun of it. $25 pays out $210.xx

WOW i got the win!!!

Roag hows that for a parlay? Thanks for the call on the first part, the yankees was a pure fan bet lol. They scored 4 runs in the 9th to tie it up after trailing 6-2 and then took the lead with a 2 run shot by Cano to win 8-6 in the 10th. Payout was $25 to win 210.95 (Yankees -1.5 +160, Tevez to score +263)

Holy crap! I thought it was dead, I stopped following the game when the Yankees were down 5-0.

Great hit bro!

[sterkarm]

Thanks man I thought they were dead in the water too until I happened to just see if it was over for good and saw them making the run in the 9th.

[Donkwin47]

Sick hit Sterkarm. I was on the Yankees ML small.

[dume walker]

Thanks man I thought they were dead in the water too until I happened to just see if it was over for good and saw them making the run in the 9th.

I didn't have it as part of a parlay, but I did have the Yankees straight up and team total over 3 1/2; and I live in LA. Great way to wind up the night.

Thanks again for the winners, Roag. I'm looking forward to your new, more selective style of picks.

That line is what I was gonna quote. That is how it's done. That's the key to success.

Brazil -1.5..............locked and loaded!!!

[sterkarm]

Thanks Donk and Dume. Glad someone else won off that game also. That was a hell of a comeback

[RoagBettor]

OK I was off by a point, the Phoenix/Atlanta total has opened up at 189 on Pinnacle. Some interesting lines, will have to look more closely now to see what the best play(s) are.

We all appreciate the time and effort you put into this, Roag. Left points by way of a thank you.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!

I'm glad I didn't play that Netherlands -1.5 that I was considering this morning. What a bad beat for anyone who had them -1, -1.5 and/or the under 2.5!

[Donkwin47]

Or Team total Under 0.5, or exact score 2-0.. A lot of people got screwed.

Play #50:

World Cup 6/28/10

Brazil -1.5 +175

$50 to win $87.50

And we add $87.50 to towards the goal! On to tomorrow, 5 WNBA games and World Cup! I'll be doing more homework tonight and will post plays as soon as I'm come up with the best bet(s).

[dume walker]

Great call on Brazil, Roag. Thanks for the winner.

[RoagBettor]

Great call on Brazil, Roag. Thanks for the winner.

Thanks, glad you cashed it. The one key stat that stood out for me was that Brazil had beaten Chile 7 straight times and outscored them 26-3 in the process. That solidified this bet.

[Rick22]

Thanks so much for your hard work Roag. Could tell just minutes into the game that Brazil had more talent.

[Vreston]

Nice hit on Brazil Roag!

I was on it too but -1 @ 2.00. Also had some riding on the over.

Keep riding the over in this round. Teams want to score. They want to win and advance.

I'm glad I didn't touch Holland!
I haven't seen them "run" in this tournament. Slovakia put up a good fight. They were SO close to a goal twice before they scored.

Two tough matchups tomorrow. Japan paid its believers last time at over 4.00 easily! Maybe they're worth following tomorrow. I haven't decided yet. Need to look into it a little more.

Hey my friend thanks for dropping by! Both matches tomorrow could go either way. I think we will see an upset in at least one of them and I'm leaning Portugal. Spain has not impressed me at all, not that Portugal has done a lot outside of the N. Korea match but I think they can win this one.

Hope all is well and you're making some money! I see our buddy has been on fire with WNBA - that's great!

Hey mate!

Pinnacle, The Greek, Bookmaker, BetPhoenix and 5Dimes are all good for WNBA and 2H plays. BetPhoenix has some great opening lines, but I've never used them. Pinnacle and The Greek will usually have the 2H line up very quickly. Bookmaker is better for full game plays (and that's about all they are good for!).

Make some money!

[Duby]

Just found this thread...very interesting...GL I will follow!

[Dwell]

Good luck, man.

[mlb]

good luck dude .. kinda hidden in the forum under the good old nba threads

Thanks everyone!

I started the original project here in the NBA section so I figured I'd keep it here since a lot of the guys who have been around for awhile were interested in it. Plus I'm focused on WNBA right now, but definitely will be playing NFL/CFB heavily until NBA starts again.

[nomeansno]

I like what you're doing here, might tail you as well

[JBT]

I like your progress man, congrats! But playing second halves requires too much involvement for my taste... you have to sit through each game, now that's a lot of sitting I respect your dedication though, hopefully you hit that $10,000 bar!

Yeah tell me about it, my ass hurts like hell during WNBA season!

As long as it's from sitting...

Beware of the soccer tomorrow, some tough games to call!

Yeah, I'm starting to look at lines now; might just play a team total or prop bet, both matches are tough to call.
