Only down 2 now, you got this.

mcduggly · 03-06-12, 10:42 PM

Well guys, Montana down 9 with 4 minutes left. It was a good run. I hope to see you guys around here on the forum often.

FreddDS · 03-06-12, 10:52 PM

Damn

mcduggly · 03-06-12, 10:53 PM

Well Montana shot 29% from the field, 1-9 for threes, and a guy on Eastern Washington shot 7-10 with 16 points. Unbelievable, but it happens.

Yeah, tough luck. Are you done with this system, or making another run for it?

Beavis169 · 03-06-12, 11:07 PM

yeah bro go for attempt 3. I personally would forget about the goal of $1000 and have a goal of around $600 then cash out and start again, thats my opinion tho

I agree with this. Lower the goal, or cash out after every 5 consecutive wins or something? It's something to think about it. Either way, it's your thread, your goal mcduggly. Were riding with you!

Alright, I will cut it in half. Does going from $100 to $500 and then banking sound good? And if so, should I start a new thread since it's a new system?

You should just stop after $500. You reached that goal today there was no reason to get too greedy.

Yeah, that sounds good! Bank it, and then restart!

If you want to start a new thread, sure. Overall though, it's the same system, your just lowering your goal. But you can start a new thread, everything starting from scratch, and everyone can follow, makes sense. People might be lost if there not following this current activity in this thread.

My goal was $1,000.

TheSituation559 · 03-06-12, 11:46 PM

I would start over again and do NOT play 1st halfs. That will kill this system. Play the full game. Also I think you should Parlay some games. Tomorrow I think all the Pac 12 games are 9-13 point favorites. I"m going to parlay all 3

dsk0057 · 03-06-12, 11:46 PM

$500 sounds exactly fine to me. Let's try it again. If you start a new thread, please let know. GL!!!

sintax · 03-06-12, 11:57 PM

Parlayed SDSU and Montana. A little scary, to say the least...

talbotia · 03-06-12, 11:58 PM

Wow tailed but wagered full game instead of first half

I was so pissed when I looked at the thread. Logged onto 5dimes and it said 500 pending. Because of their non iPhone friendly interface I am up almost 600 that I would have lost. Pheeewwwwwwww

RL75 · 03-07-12, 12:04 AM

The nice thing about this is while you run the risk of losing a large amount of money due to high juice if you do lose you're only out the $ you started with.

I agree with the guy about the 1st halves, they are just too volatile especially in these conference tourneys it seems. If you don't have a current bet going it seems playing the money line on the heavy favs in 2nd half could be profitable if they're behind. 3 heavy favs trailed tonight at the half and all 3 won the 2h easily. I got burned on this strategy last night but hey it's gambling.

I managed to pull my parlay out tonight, but it took a minor miracle. I still don't know how SDSU pulled that game out tonight.

Thanks for the thread mcduggly will be following the new one if you don't keep this one going.

mrgodzilla · 03-07-12, 01:03 AM

I liked the system as is.
You should try to reach your goal!!

i would like to see a system like this but as a parlay system 2-3 teams
more risk but more reward
