    Thunder + the points parlayed with Nuggets + the points is a REALLY strong play. I would take it.

    Yeah that's it man... it mustn't be an option on US sites but the site i use i can. I think that should make those plays pretty safe now.

    Thanks fellas
    I was tossing and turning between Jazz -9, Lakers -9 but went with these because it's a lot less point to cover. Hopefully i made the right choice

    haha here's a link...it seems im probably getting better value than most us based books

    https://www.sportsbet.com.au/sports/...690857#1690923

    about a third down the page you'll see 5 point teaser @ $1.40 or -250

    1.40 x 1.40 = 1.96 or -104.17

    Are you still doing this? The man problem with this is you could do 20 in a row if you were really picky, really lucky, and had the balls you let it ride 20 times. The problem is, you could lose at 17, 20, game 3. No matter where it is you lose it all. Thats fine if you go 20 then start over again and then lose in 3. Your still up.

    I have been trying the same type of thing but haven't been going all in. What I do is add on half of the profit and sit on the other half. At -110 odds your almost even after 2 wins in a row. Lose on your second game and your down about half of your first bet.

    This is your way

    Bet 1: 100 x 2 = 200
    Bet 2: 200 x 2 = 400
    Bet 3: 400 x 2 = 800
    Bet 4: 800 x 2 = 1600
    Bet 5: 1600 x 2 = 3200
    Bet 6: 3200 x 2 = 6400
    Bet 7: 6400 x 2 = 12800

    My way is to do this

    Bet/Win/Bank
    Bet 1: 100/100/50
    Bet 2: 150/150/75
    Bet 3: 225/225/112.50
    Bet 4: 337.50/337.50/168.75
    Bet 5: 506.25/506.25/253.12
    Bet 6: 759.39/759.39/379.69
    Bet 7: 1139.08/1139.08/569.54

    Your way gets you $12800 with 7 straight wins.

    May way only gets you $2278.16, but you have put $1608.60 bank into your bankroll during that run. That give you a total win of $3886.76.

    Your way pays more but it means you need to win till you stop. My way gives you profit on the 3rd win.

    Doing this has allowed my bankroll to bounce around but it never went to $0 in over 50 bets. It has been close but a few wins and it starts to recover again. If I would take more time with my picks it could be real nice. Its less painful then the all in.

    Yeah, luck is the key. How many cappers can get 20 games in a row right?

    Very, very, very, very hard to do.

    Taking your profits sounds much better. Flex has it right.

    You could start with any amount your conformable with. If your starting with $125 your first bet can be anywhere from $1-125. Myself I would start around $5-10 if I was playing with $125. Or even start off with $25.

    And the way it works out is that what ever your bet is, you have that amount minus your bet saved. So lets say you have a starting bet of $50. If you keep winning (and have the guts to keep going) when you are at the point of making a $5000 bet you have added $4950 to your bankroll (or cashed some of it).

    At anytime you can say I had enough and stop. Lets say you bet $5000 to win $4500. If you win that bet you could do your next bet at $7250 (which just added $2250 to your bank roll) or say I had a great run and stop at that amount. The $9500 goes to your bankroll and you pick a new starting point. You could go with a $250 starting point this time, or $500 or what ever you want.

    The great thing is that your taking money from each win so it takes the sting out of a big lose. Or at least some of it.

    I have even done if bets like that. I had 5 games picked on night with an if bet and my plan was to keep 50% of the profit from each win. It would have been nice if my only loss that night wasn't the first game. LOL.

    Not many. But I think the problem is picking a game because you want one not because you think its an easy win. I have picked and lost games that I thought were the best game "that night" but should have looked for a great game. If someone sat back and waited for that "you have to be joking" kind of spread or over under they could do well. For example I made a points bet last night on the Clippers/Blazers game to go over 194. To me this felt like an easy over. To me it had a high chance of winning. I'm not happy with the amount of shots that were missed while I was watching the last 5 minutes of the game. But it won.

    There has been better games that I have found that I feel I can start spending the money before the game starts. If I waited for just those games I think I would do very well. Getting the 20 in a row would still be a stretch but 7-11 in a row would make me really happy. With a $50 start and -110 odds I would be at a bet of over $6000 on 14 bets. So over $12000 in profits if I stopped there and didn't make that 14th bet. IF I could pull of 20....
