Need The Help Of This Board

[UndisputedGblr]

I want to make this weekend a little interesting. I want to see if I can turn a $500 deposit into at least 4K.

I was thinking about how to do this and I've come up with 3 choices.

1. I can either bet the $500 on one game and if it hits put it all on another game and so on until I reach my goal.

2. I can place a $500 parlay on tomorrows games (NCAAF, NCAAB, NBA).

3. I can place a $500 parlay tomorrow and then with those winnings place another parlay on Saturday.

What do you guys think? Option 1, 2, or 3.

Also, I know hitting my goal will be a long shot but I've had a good two weeks and want to try something new.

[TPowell]

are you wanting to make 4k quick or can u wait a little while?

[UndisputedGblr]

I'd like to hit 4K, give or take a little doesn't have to be exactly 4K, by Saturday night.

But I can wait awhile.

[TPowell]

I really dont like parlays because I think if you can win 2 out of 3 games you should just go ahead and play sides. I haven't played a parlay since early October. The best parlays IMO are 3 teamers. 2 really don't play enough and more than 3 is usually a long shot

Option 1

[jayc88]

no matter which option you choose you will end up loosing your initial 500

[TPowell]

I wouldnt try to keep doubling up like crazy though. Maybe if you get to 1K, bet like 750 or something? Leave a little to start back up with unless the $500 is just kind of a freeroll for you

[jjgold]

I would bet each game individually and then double up

[UndisputedGblr]

This is actually somewhat of a freeroll for me. I've had a good run the past two weeks and I used my cashout to play some 20/40 at a local casino and went on a sick sick run and was up $500 in less than an hour. And I won't be able to make any bets for at least the next two months because I start soldier training next week. So I wanted to have some fun this weekend and try to win a few thousand.

put the cash in your pocket and call it a profit.

[UndisputedGblr]

I'm thinking about playing this parlay, $400 to win $2484.27.
Mississippi ML
Central Michigan ML
Buffalo ML
LSU ML
Nebraska ML
West Virginia +4
Ohio +4
Bowling Green +4

I might just play West Virginia ML, Ohio ML, and Bowling Green ML for $300 which would bring me close to 4K I believe.

I know this is very risky but it'll keep me busy tomorrow...

What do you guys think?

if you wanna turn 500 into 4k, this is not the smart way to do it..

my advice.

1- scalp it and slowly slowly, you coudl end up with the 4k, with no risk

2- if you want to turn 500 into 4k, DON'T GAMBLE on sports. go to the bank and lock it up in a GIC or RRSP or mutual fund for whatever long it takes..

this is the ONLY advice i can give you.. gambling on sports is the worse way to do it. You're a very big favorite in losing the whole 500..

JUST DON'T USE IT TO GAMBLE, AND YOU SHOULD BE OK..

[sickler]

My advice is to not bet it all at once. Try to gradually build it.

Rome wasn't built in one day.

[MoneySportsGuy]

money management is key. if your going to gamble, be smart about it

but I would agree with other option as well, going to bank and getting a CD or something.

[reno cool]

You're looking at a 7-1 shot. If you're doing a one time parlay you'd have at least a 10% of hitting it. Winning 3 bets in a row doubling up 12.5%. Either way you have a realistic chance. Any option is fine, and don't let anybody scare you.
