    Using BoDog.ca to try and go PRO

    Here's the plan.
    I am going to drop $25 into my Bodog.ca account. The goal is to earn $200 by May 22nd so I can take the $200 & re-deposit it into what will be my new BetDSI account.
    I'll record all the subsequent bets made between now & the point I reach $200 or bust.
    Any suggestions or help along the way would be appreciated too.
    The lines at Bovada might be similar to the bets found in Bodog.ca but, I am not sure.

    That's starting a little on the short stacked side. But certainly possible with a little luck. Hope you pull it off. Good picking!

    Thanks.
    Inevitably, I will be picking the games I want to pick. Whether my rationale is flawed or if I'm made fun of, I'm going to handicap the plays i make.
    I am hoping to improve what has always been, IMO the worst gambling habit I have. Money Management.
    For example, I am giving myself 13 days & starting with $25. Should I start with a two game parlay for 50% of the BR? Should I lay 100% of the BR on one play? I'm sure the consensus here will be that, I still adhere to a lower % of BR until ROI% increases, thus increasing % of stake per play.
    I feel like betting 5x $5 parlays but, I know I'm just giving it away in the long run, if I do that.
    Should I bet half the account on one play per night & hope if I lose, I lose early then catch a heater 7-8 nights in?
    If I get drunk I can lose it all in one game. Maybe if I can find a money management system I like & can adjust to, I'll profit more quickly when I handicap at 65%-68%.

    I don't know. That's the kind of advice I need if I want to move on & enjoy some of the advantages of Pro Status.

    I'm not impoverished
    but I can only try this 2 times, 3 times max this month.

    Been reading a lot of negative threads about Bodog &/or Bovada so, i was able to get permission from my father to use his account at 365.
    I am leaning towards a two game Parlay Washington-Washington.
    I am thinking $12.50

    With little to no feedback as far as money management was concerned I decided I would wager 1/2 the BR each play.
    With no feed back on picks tonight I went with what I thought were overwhelming board wide picks.
    jillmark
    biffT
    waterweight
    bigjah
    love the action
    dexter

    They are all on a long shot, surprise, surprise.
    These people can't be wrong 100% of the time so I am on The Nationals as well!

    JWCash & Zoo Youk are both on the Caps.
    JJGold stayed away from this game so, how can I go wrong?

    If The Caps get scored on 1st, I'm betting last 1/4 of the account on the Rangers -1.5 in play.

    Maybe not, Rangers goal in the 1st minute.

    If I get the under I am waging $20.95 on the second half.
    leaning towards the over if its around 94.5 or maybe the CLips if they are +3 or +4 and not down by double digits.

    Wasn't ready to pull the trigger on the 1nd 1/2.
    Big money here!
    There's a prop I like in the Heat game.

    It's -115 now.

    +100% profit after 2 days going into the late game could help the cause.

    Nearly every puck poster at SBR is on the under or The Kings.
    This includes:
    Miser
    Puck it
    My Balogna
    Shackfu99
    Shantystar
    &
    waterweight

    Which play should I fade? which handle should I tail?

    These are small bets that pay 50 to 1 & 66 to 1

    I didn't think the Angels were worth taking as road dogs unless I took them by 2 runs. I like when the away team needs to be up or the opponent doesnt bat in the ninth.
