The Start of my Journey to 10,000

[nick2060]

ok so im going to take 500 bucks and turn it into 10,000. Im going to record everything in this thread, so you guys can come along for the ride. I had a terrible night tonight after getting cocky but im gonna start handicapping in a serious manner from now on, no more fun bets or bs. As my first official play:

Tennessee Titans -2.5
Risking 62.50 to win 50.00

[byrneswhenIpeavy]

its def possible. i turned a couple hundred bucks into thousands over the summer in mlb....goodluck!

[Nicky Santoro]

nickaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

hey nicky, so you're going to try to get to 10k by betting 50 bucks a game?? good luck buddy, but i'll say this.. man, you have a long long way to go.. you're going to have to get really hot for 3 yrs to get there, betting 50 bucks a game..

[BestPlay2day]

Good luck! At least you're betting reasonable amounts for your bankroll. Need to start off hot and increase your bets, will take a long time but if you have good money management you have a good shot.

I thought all he had to do was beat the closing line and he is on his way to riches?

[Nicky Santoro]

hey curious,

what happened in the other thread? i am still waiting for your response. you said you hit 60% for the last 2 yrs and when i offered you 10-1 you can't do it.. you never responded back..

I guess you proved to us you're just a big talker..

[nick2060]

thanks for everybody showin some support, and yea the plan is to increase the bets after but starting off with 500 bucks anything over 50 dollar bets is bad money management...and its called a journey cause i fully expect it to take a while

[nick2060]

Final card for tommorrow:
Tennessee -2.5 Risking 62.50 for 50.00
Carolina -425 Risking 106.25 to win 25

Obvious potential to blow up in my face but im confident in both picks and ending up 75 bucks would be a good way to start.

It's funny, and there's still no reply in this thread about that here. He posts and runs before he can accept your offer.

[lambogb]

my goal is $1k from $50 =)

[jjgold]

Good Luck Nick, although I doubt you will pull it off.

Can't you read? I told you that i already post all my picks everyday in public forums. My record is easy to verify. I don't need your ****ing 200 dollars. I see no reason to duplicate my posts in another thread just to prove anything to you.

Find someone else to **** with punk.

And who the flying fukk are you that I (or anyone else) has to prove anything to you? Give me a fukking break.

I dont need his fuking 200 dollars. I already post all my plays every day in public forums, my record is easy to verify. Why should I duplicate that effort just to "prove" something to a loud mouth blowhard?

And i did reply to his "offer". Now you assholes are taking this shit. Get a ****ing life.

for those of you that didn't read this, i will translate


i know there's no way i can hit 60%, i'm only a big talker.. so i won't put up 200 to win 2k cause i am a lifetime 48% bettor and i dont want to make a fool of myself or lose 200..

thanks curious..

have a nice life, buddy.

[IHateBookies]

Good luck - I just did the same thing as you are planning on a smaller scale. I started with 50 on Wednesday and now it is $1184.

You can check my spreadsheet to see betting amounts. I went 13-3, and two of the losses were very small plays.

[Panic]

Money will be gone after the first losing streak of say 3-4 games. The chase will be on then and the money will go bye bye.

$50 bets with a $500 roll is still terrible money management. Good luck on your quest, but I think you'd fare a lot better taking it slow and having a more realistic goal. One bet at a time.

No it isn't.

great post, panner. you know you're shit. that's gambling.. alot of these gamblers have no composure. gambling just has a way to get the best of you.. he can go 21-6 and be up 700 bucks. then on sunday he bets, loses his first 4 games of 50 each, now down 220.. and then thinks to himself that even if he wins the last ESPN game of 50 bucks, he's still down 170 on the day, so why not just bet 200 and chase it and now he's only 1 win away from being up on day, what good is 50 bucks going to do him? he'll still be down big on day if it wins.. then loses that one and now he's down 400 bucks on the day.. next day arrives, he ain't betting 50 a game again, what's the use. now he wants to chase back that 220 loss on 1 game and starts betting 200 a game and loses 3 in a row and he's broke..

so now he ends up 21-13 on the whole affair and is broke.

that's gambling for you panner. good call.. gambling has a way to get the best of you..it plays with your freakin mind and it's tough to overcome this.

For those of you who didn't read this, I will translate. I asked this punk a very straightforward question about his genius advice (slightly embarassing question). Instead of answering it he started this "you have to prove to me..." bullshit.

Since I already post all my plays every day I see no reason to duplicate that effort to prove anything to this windbag. My record is there for all to see.

By the way blowhard, I'm still waiting for the answers to the questions I asked you about your "genius" advice. What, afraid you will be embarrassed if you have to actually explain your nonsense instead of just repeating it over and over like a broken record?

[RumpledForeskin]

good luck chief

what the hell was your question, curious? i never pay attention to you cause all you do is lie, like saying you hit 60% in every sport no problem, AND without ever knowing about which way the lines are going.. to me, this is silly..

and then when i offer you 10-1, you refuse to prove it.

obviously you are paying attention to him, yesterday you said you were still waiting for his response to some gay challenge...

curious, Nicky likes to hang out here because everybody bows down to him for some reason. Notice, you never see him in another forum

Since all my picks are in public forums I have already proven it.

And since you started this nonsense with me in a reply to the post where I asked you the questions, you already know what they are.

But, I will repeat them here so that your disciples can see them too:
1. You say that the way to win in sports betting is to "beat the closing line". But you give no advice how to do that. So, how does one do that? If I could predict the line movement, couldn't I just as easily predict the Winner?

2. You say that anyone who bet against teams in big markets or bet with "crappy" teams would be up tons. Then you gave examples to prove your point. So, I said "It is easy to see those trends after the fact, but no one in their right mind would have been betting Oklahoma City every day from the first day of the season". Only after seeing the trend get established would anyone start following it. So, my question was, how do you know that a team is in one of these "crappy teams cover ATS" trends? After 15 games? 10 games? 5 games? 25 games? Also, how do you know the trend will continue?

3. Then you used the Yankees as an example of "betting against big market" teams. So I made a similar point. No one would do this from the first day of the season, because you don't know what kind of Yankees team you will have until you watch them play. So, how do you know a team is meeting your criteria for a "big market" team and it is safe to bet against them?

If you want to follow my record to see what my win % is over the rest of the season I post my picks everyday, you don't have to lose your money to do so.

I won't be embarrassed if my win % is less than 60%, since I am posting all my picks in public I obviously am not worried about being embarrassed.

does he ever post any actual picks or is he a self anointed "genius"?

[IHateBookies]

Nicky Santoro knows what he is talking about

[dwaechte]

No it isn't.

You would need to be hitting NFL games at an unrealistic percentage to justify betting 10% of your roll on one game. This is virtually undebatable.

[MilfDriller]

curious still believes he's not a liar... I'm glad others are calling out your other ways.

Nick, you got hte coolest avatar... but you had every break go against you today. keep it goin', tho.

no way in hell I would've seen Zona winning this straight up..

[MilfDriller]

these were actually sounds picks... just got a raw deal as this shit happens from time to time.

Us gamblers salute you, though. Keep on keepin on.


As for Es2muchBS.... when can we get a thread from him with his plays?
