-400+ Experiment. $100 to $1000 in ten plays

[El Sol]

Used to do this at the Race track before internet betting came along. Parley the first or second favorite of each race to show for all nine races (or less) for $50. I would often win $500 or more for the day doing this.

Minnesota outscored Utah by 15 in the 4th quarter.


Remember, it is trying to avoid an upset just as much as it is to predict a winner.

Maybe you should start your own thread.

Your post is much more useless than his. This isn't even your thread what the **** are you smoking right now? Drunk posting?

You obviously haven't read the whole thread keel has been a pleasant poster in this thread.

Exactly why he should start his own thread you retard. I wasn't bashing him, just suggesting he should start his own so people can see each guy's progress/picks in their own place.

Whats up fellas.. nice day for us all it looks like

Happy for this to be the people's thread, i think we're all a little different in our approach with picks and banking so it would help us all find the winning formula. I can't post as much during the day now beacuse of my new job so if you guys keep this thread bumped all the better... especially if we keep banking!

Richard Gasquet to win the first set v Igor Kunitsyn

Fun stat time, in the 25 wins Gasquet has had on hardcourt in the last 12 months, he has won 24 first sets, of those 24, he has played one tie break and one has gone 7-5. Yes, this is what i'm basing my play on

Someone must be tailing you at 5dimes cause Gasquet is now -950. I'm guessing alot of degenerates, possibly myself... cruise around these forums and bet at 5dimes. Alot of times I'll see a tennis pick- and notice the odds quickly shift if there is a popular thread on these forums. And since it happens time and time again- it is a good natural assumption to assume this.. which is probably correct cause it happens too much too often.

Another good example... EaglesPhan who is a decent capper at tennis showing some small profit right now. Don't know how he was last year- but when he put up his Llodra pick it was at -125. Then it went to -135 and now it's at -150. Just check all the popular late night threads... wait for someone to post something- then check the chalk at 5dimes swing. Happens a lot in direct correlation with popular posts.

Keel love what you are doing man! Keep it up and looking forward to a winner today!

Hey uga, what about the Miami Heat tonight against the over the Knicks at -450? They have a few things going for them:

- They are at home where they are 14-2.
- Miami has had a day off and the Knicks played last night against the Hawks.
- The Knicks still won't have some decent role players in Bill Walker and Iman Shumpert.
- The Heat have won the past 7 games by at least 10 points.
- The fact that Wade, who is one of the best on-ball defenders in the game, might cover Lin.
- Especially with the game being nationally televised on TNT, I think LeBron and Wade want their share of the spotlight back from Lin. They are going to come out proving that they are still a notch above him and have America start talking about them again instead of Lin. They love their attention.

Do they have a line up for the second half? I have been keeping some data in Excel for this year and Underdogs have better win percentages in the first and second quarter than the third and fourth. Just thought I would let you know. Best of luck, though!

[dudekid]

gasquet was a winner! bummed i missed it gotta start waking up at 5 am to get these LOL

[keel44]

In this case, I like the Heat to get out quick. They have been doing that of late. I expect the Heat to dominate in this game. I took the 1st half to cut down the juice from -475 to -300.

[kj8210]

I remember the first time a bet a half, it was the Bulls vs Nets game this past weekend. I lost all hope after that horrible loss

[mcduggly]

Yea, I had one a couple weeks ago. The Minnesota Timberwolves lost the first half to the frickin Bobcats of all teams. Had that in a huge parlay and that was the only loser. FML.

[dudekid]

first halves are really tough...it seems like the big underdogs always come out swinging in the first half and get blown away in the 2nd...as a matter of fact, the heat played the lowly kings just the other night and were losing in the 1q, and only up by a couple i believe at half...i think the heat will win this game, and probably even be winning at half, but im just not sure enough to lay my whole bankroll on it but BOL!

[mcduggly]

Yea, I stick to second halves now and they usually have the same or around the odds as the first.

[mcduggly]

Damn, that Miami Heat line is already at -525 on 5dimes. Thank God I got it when it was at -450!

I got it at -450, is that what you got it at?

[H1Cypher]

212.38 divided by 53.10 = 3.99 = -399 That is what he got it at lol...... youre welcome

[dudekid]

Thanks for the play. Was a little scary, but we got the win! Keep up the good work!

[mcduggly]

Looks like a loss, boys. Down by 25 in the third.

[mcduggly]

For tomorrow, I'm liking some hockey later on with the Avalanche +1.5 over the Columbus Blue Jackets at -320. The Jackets are awful, the Avs are 12 games better, and the Blue Jackets just traded away their assistant captain and one of their best players in Jeff Carter. I can't see the Jackets winning by 2 in this game.

[kj8210]

tough break guys. was gonna follow but went with ORL ML and lost either way

[ugabooga]

At work just saw the scores. This is how I feel after seeing the half time scores

It's alright, we'll start a new streak! I didn't have a good feeling about that bet with Lawson, Gallinari, and Nene out against a hot Spurs team, but it's alright. Got the next pick ready?
