Turning $50 into $1,000...my quest and strategy

[b1slickguy]

Good luck man. You got this.

[Husker36]

Creighton would scare me considering the dud they put up 2 games ago.

2 players sicks with stomach flu that game. Creighton wins tonight. Huge "pink out" game for them in front of 18000 fans (they are in the top 5 in attendance)

[Plaza23]

These all won. Up to 129.37.
Tonight's bet:

614 Boise State -3500*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> San Jose State
634 Louisiana Tech -2400*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Marshall
636 Creighton -850*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Georgetown
653 Kansas -1600*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> TCU

129.37 to win 35.23

These are winners. All even covered (assuming KU doesnt tank their 2nd half).
Up to 164.60

[JohnnyD4916]

Keep it up maybe you will hit this.

[SirtySree]

Since you are doing ML parlays, my one tip would be to check out the history of matchups.

For instance I hit this today.
akron -1 @1.35
ucon -1 @1.35
sout miss -1 @1.28
wichita -2.5 @1.26
murr st -1 @1.28
@3.85

Had Weber and Long Beach in consideration but decided against it although they both ended up being winners. All those teams have like a near or better than 9-1 ML past history and some of those home teams rarely/never get beaten at home by the other team.

Just a tip for the future as you can be winning larger amounts at one go although its prob best to only put like a quarter of your bankroll on each parlay and have like a couple of different parlays.

[Khiaao]

good luck

[Plaza23]

Today's bet:

822 Memphis U -1600*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> South Florida

164.60 to win 10.29

[tsimmns]

You are better off today doing a 4 team 10 pt teaser betting 130 to win 100 instead of betting 160 to win 10. Even if you only did 3 teams take Memphis, AZ, and another team, bet 130 and win about 60

I dont trust Arizona to win today. I think Utah could upset them. All the games Utah has lost this year has been by 4 points or less. They could very easily be undefeated. They also are the 3rd best shooting team in the NCAA at over 50%.

I looked at the board today and the only locks I saw at winning was Memphis.
Thought about UMass but they havent blown anyone out at home.
I usually love to play Arizona, but not against Utah.

[cruzing vato]

OK, I'll take Memphis... started yet??

[SirtySree]

I hit this one today. As mentioned above, the history was on the side of all 4 teams although some ended closer than I wanted (eg. Rider almost choking)

nc stat +2.5
canis -2
rider -1
harv -3.5
@2.6

[tsimmns]

Nice win today, hope to see you keep rolling.

[cruzing vato]

Got me motivated to try some big parlays today myself.... hit two four tewmers, and lost a five steamer... you probably shouldn't go all in now that you got 200 .. but its up to u Holmes.

Hey there buddy you should post these in the forum here so we can have a gander. You seem to be on to something here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one interested to see more plays like this from you!

thanks man. only problem is that whenever i post my plays, i seem to have extremely bad luck and get bad beats by like half a point or massive comebacks haha. il post a few to see how it goes.

only got two tmrw so low odds
port +6
okl +12

i would go as low as ML for port but i got an ats bet on them so didnt see the point. same with okl but rather be safe in a parlay. in the parlay i also got a tennis bet of bradley klahn to win bt didnt add it here see it didnt seem relevant

[SirtySree]

oh and if u r wondering bout the history of the matchup, portland r 8-2 ml and ats overall (last 10) and have never lost at home against ewash (plus 5-0 last 5 home and away). some more interesting stats on bet365 are:
ewash 0-5 ml and ats on the road against port last 5 and 0-5 ml last 5 on the road against any team

meanwhile, okl r 9-1 at home against okls (1pt loss in 2009).
i was considering gtown too since they got a good history but the way they r currently playing, i decided against it.

of course this doesnt mean they are 100% locks all the time but I hav found by persisting with this strategy, u win bout at least 75% of the time with roughly 4-5 teams per parlay.

EDIT:
decided to add this in but only a small sized bet although great value
port -1
okl -1

you should make your own thread... Let the OP post his own plays here

[Plaza23]

Today's bet:

707 Los Angeles Clippers -600*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Milwaukee Bucks
719 Villanova -260*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Georgetown

110 to win 67.69

I know i am already deviating from my initial strategy but I really expect Villanova to crush Georgetown tonight. I was going to go all in on Villanova, but it would have only won 67. I found the Clipper game to parlay with them to win the same 67. I'm breaking another rule of mine by betting an NBA game, but only this one. Lets hope it works. Clippers - Bucks should be a mismatch but strange things happen in the NBA all the time which is why I hate playing it.

so you added the clippers to win an extra 67 cents?

[Plaza23]

so you added the clippers to win an extra 67 cents?

No, I would have had to bet all of my money $174 to win $67 if I had put it all on Villanova. This way, I'm only betting 110 to win the same amount by including the Clippers game.

[LoveDaRush]

This guy's a fking joke. Hope you lose, you clown.

[Resler]

LoveDaRush is a bigger fking joke. Posting guaranteed plays of OKC laying 10 points. Then won't tell us what will happen if it loses.

[darkghost]

Plaza ive been following your thread. Stick to your rules! Im shocked you picked these games. If the boards light just pass for the day. Good luck!

[Plaza23]

After seeing the Bucks are without Mayo, Sanders, and Udoh tonight - i decided to go all in with the left over money in my account on just the Clippers.

So my two bets tonight:
707 Los Angeles Clippers -600* 64.89 to win 10.82

and

707 Los Angeles Clippers -600*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Milwaukee Bucks
719 Villanova -260*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Georgetown

110 to win 67.69

It always seems to burn you once you change from strategy. Good luck anyway

[easyliving]

you shouldn't be laying -600 on the NBA on a road team regardless of who it is.

[Big Bear]

I have started out with $50 at 5 dimes. (starting tonight - i've lost way more than that in the last month). But, I think i have LEARNED what NOT to do.

So this is my strategy and we will see if it works.

I'm going all in everytime, but I am only betting favorites or parlays of favorites with a (-700 or better spread). I may also go all in on a home team that is ranked in the top 10 in college basketball.

My bet tonight: $50 to win $15.93
768 Wisc Green Bay -750*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Oakland
778 Oklahoma -1400*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> TCU
783 San Diego State -1165* <small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> San Jose State


Should this win, tomorrow I will bet 65.93 on some huge favorite.

minimum deposit is $100

[Resler]

No it's 50

[tsimmns]

minimum deposit is $100

Ever considered he deposited and lost down to 50?

[ebbearsfb1]

No, I would have had to bet all of my money $174 to win $67 if I had put it all on Villanova. This way, I'm only betting 110 to win the same amount by including the Clippers game.

gotcha... nice hit

[ebbearsfb1]

minimum deposit is 50 at 5 dimes and bookmaker from what i remember

sportsbook it use to be 25

These won.
Up to 253.40.

I think rest of the week i will be more conservative. Villanova game was way closer than what i thought it would be even though it was right at the spread.

[Plaza23]

Tonight's bet:

524 Wichita State -5000*<small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> Loyola Chicago
530 Creighton -1155* <small style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">vs</small> St. John's

WOW..

[Kicker31]

One thought I had was if you wanted to, you could always do something like this:

Risk 230 to win 24.91 on your Wichita and Creighton Parlay.

That leaves you with 23.40 to work with. This you could put on a slightly riskier bet, perhaps a Kansas St at -420, which would give you a potential winnings of 5.57. That's not the best example, but putting it on a -400 team which has a better return per dollar compared to your parlay, you can work it out a little better. Pretend that today there was a nice safe play that was approximately -400ish. Call it -400 flat, that you felt confident about, but not confident enough to risk your whole bankroll on.

Wichita/Creighton Parlay: -923 (approx).
Team A: -400

So putting 230 on W/C Parlay would earn you about $24.91. We can say that's approximately a guarantee, 95% of the time winner. So let's assume this hits (because if any of your big ML teams go down, you'd be screwed anyways).

This means that tomorrow, even if Team A loses, you'd be at 254.91, still +$1.51 from yesterday.

Now, you risk $23.40 on Team A, at -400. If they lose, you're still ahead on the day (see above), but if they win, you win $5.85 in additional monies.

Assuming W/C Parlay Hits:
Team A LOSES: +$1.51 (up to $254.91)
Team A WINS: +$30.76 (up to $284.16)

I know that it doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a way to put a few extra bucks in your pocket every day, and even if you miss on it, you still make money and start from slightly higher than where you were this morning, and just start the process over again. Basically, the key here is to pick an amount to wager where the winnings from the typical parlay are greater than the initial wager on Team A, so you guarantee yourself to be making some money that day regardless.
