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

[ugabooga]

ATTEMPT 2 - BET 6
Juan Carlos Ferrero to def Mikhail Kukushkin
$346.38 to win $72.74

Final score:
Ferrero def kukushkin 6:1, 4:6, 7:6, 4:6, 6:4

Bank: $419.12 (+476.18 banked)

Well that was hard bloody work. Down 0:4 in the third and won the set in a tie break then down an early break in the 5th! Think I might stay away from the Davis cup. It seems too hard to factor in past results and form.

lol i was looking for this thread this morning because i wanted to start this challenge with $20 hahaha and i laid it on JC at -400 and was hoping it would be good. Following it on my phone at work and i was like oh wow 6-1 1st set this should be cake...... such a sweat.

[ugabooga]

Ok banking early yet again but for good reason. Decided my room needs a 50' plasma so I'll be grabbing one in a few hours to compliment the additional pay tv box I'll be getting for my room lol

Summary of how it's gone so far below -

Attempt 1:
Bets: 8
Banked: $476.18
Days: 3

Attempt 2:

Ferk me too bro. I had a quick check of the scores during the night and thought sweet. An hour or so later I almost gave up. Happy it was a five setter or we would've been in trouble.

[IAcceptCash]

Hahaha insane dude you starting over again today?

[ugabooga]

ATTEMPT 3 - BET 1
New York Knicks +10.5 v Lakers
$100 to win $24

Last met:
12/29 - Lakers def Knicks 99-82 (@ LA)

Lakers are 4-9 SU on the road, of those 4 wins they're yet to win by DD.

The Knicks are 6-7 SU at home, of those 7 losses they have lost by DD once.

Again, the non Aussies probably won't have this market available to them but if you do I think this is a great spot to use it. LA coming off an OT win in Boston I would say the chances of a blowout here are unlikely. Knicks have been playing inspired ball without their 2 stars and have apparently unearthed the new messiah in the process, so I not only like them to stay within 10 but to win straight up. Bol all. The system works! (maybe )

[ugabooga]

Hahaha insane dude you starting over again today?

Just above but probably not a market you can bet on? I'll try and stick to ML as often as I can so we all have something to cheer haha.

[IAcceptCash]

I like the knicks tonight to win outright, but i cant get that line unless i do a 2 team teaser. How do you feel about a teaser with this system?

[Sport_Fish]

Very nicely done...good luck on your third attempt.

Gonna experiment with this as well =)

[ugabooga]

I think it could work but you'd need to find an equally strong play. I'm narrowing it down to what I feel is the strongest cos I commonly make too many plays a night. What else do you like? It's an extra 4 points right? Or can you do more?

[ugabooga]

Very nicely done...good luck on your third attempt.

Gonna experiment with this as well =)

Thank you sir

I'm actually surprised myself how well it's run

[IAcceptCash]

I can do teasers up to 16pts on 5dimes, but a 10 1/2 pt teaser for 2 teams is -500 with ties reducing win. or i could do 9 1/2 pt 2 teamer and get -380 with ties reducing win.

I like the knicks and id be able to get them at +13 and then another game added for -380

[IAcceptCash]

I also like raptors at +13 against celtics. so i can get Knicks at +13.5 also

[ugabooga]

You know I was gonna day that but celts can blowout teams from time to time and raptors are susceptible to getting blown out. You'd have to run the numbers but that was my first thought too haha

[IAcceptCash]

yeah and raptors leading big man is out. idk probably going to stay away and lay off tonight because there is no college games tonight that are worth touching even with 9.5 points lol gonna take it slow. bol though tonight for sure knicks will cash!!

[ugabooga]

Wise man, that's definitely been a key to my run.. forcing plays and making action bets has definitely eaten up profit in the past. This way I have no choice but be careful haha

[Sport_Fish]

Found Knicks +10.5 @ 1.29 on bet365. For those wondering, this book offers those kinds of spreads and also has all the Tennis that OP bets on.

[xpo276]

good thread. im gonna try this too.

[ugabooga]

Cheers sport fish I knew at least one international would offer it. From memory 365 offer almost everything

good thread. im gonna try this too.

BOL

[IAcceptCash]

How do you feel about Yen Hsun Lu tonight lol passed on him last night but hes -475 tonight against Greg Jones (never heard of him) havnt dont any research yet tho

[ugabooga]

Just had a look on matchstat and would probably be a play for me based on rankings but jones almost beating dolgopolov in a 5 setter is a worry. I'd probably need to do a bit more research to lock it in as a play.

[MJT1212]

Noooo, another bet I cannot make...

GL tonight!

[H1Cypher]

Not gonna say it after the game cause people moan. This is the one bet I think you might lose that I've seen out of all your bets, and I've been tracking since the start. Lakers are too much of a coin flip team. Also I would be hard pressed to believe any of these Lakers want to lose to Jeremy Lin.

Your bet can win but even at those odds it's still a coin flip. Lakers can easily roll by more than 10, no matter what past stats say. It's a D'antoni run team and they can easily lose by 10+ to alot of teams.

Good luck though =). As long as the Knicks lose by around 7 points we'll both be straight =p.

Just the fact that the media is asking these Laker players about Jeremy Lin doesn't find you disturbing. It's like people not shutting up about Tebow- The Patriots put em down in a bad way. Not the same situation(since it is football- and basketball is more offensive game make or miss... you make you win you miss you lose). I feel like the Lin train might come to a steaming halt today.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Last night was a much needed win for the Lakers, but what I noticed, and leads me to believe that the Knicks are the play, is their horrendous defense when the Celtics tried to push the ball. While Rondo was the only one with legs young enough to take advantage of the Lakers slow transition defense, the Knicks, who are rejuvinated and playing TEAM, HUSTLE BB, can really run away with this game tonight. I like the play; I like the current line for the Knicks. Great thread! No Haters in here! good luck!

[MUHerd37]

Gonna try this out with ya. Hope it doesn't crash and burn right when I jump on!

These kind of situations always occur in the world of sports writing/ media. Americans love the idea of a dog having their day...it makes for a great story that everyone loves. An average, or less-than-average player who in spite of all odds, manages to do the unthinkable. Personally and like you noted, I feel bad for Tebow and now Lin, because it's not sustainable. However, I think that Lin can take advantage of the lethargic Lakers and the hype will live another day.

Derek Fisher is gonna get owned tonight. Oh yeah. Badly.

No man I'd definitely prefer you post if you don't like a play it makes for good discussion

Funnily enough I feel more comfortable with this play than some of the others so I'll be interested to see how it pans out. Really interesting point of view and to be honest I hadn't even thought of it from that angle. It will be interesting to see how Lin plays now, hopefully well enough to keep us within 10

Does anyone know of an online sportsbook that accepts US players and allows these crazy line manipulations???

[Sport_Fish]

Too much doubt in this play coming from ppl + many ppl are starting to tail u now = a bit scary lol. I think i'll lay off and follow u starting in bet 2 - ill just be $20 behind on the system.

But i still think +10 is gd enuf

Yeah even I'm starting doubt lol no not really but perhaps this isn't a strong a play as I thought. Hope the 10 point headstart is enough but I guess I am due for a loss after 14 straight winners

Going to grab my new plasma yay

[ugabooga]

Guess I should've waited a bit later to make the play, losing $8 and with this type of system 4 or 5 bets down the track that's going to be a lot more grr
