    Moron Betting: $25 to $500 in SMALL steps

    Let's see if I can get this done before the NFL regular season starts

    Starting balance: $25, doing this on Bovada... I never play with them anymore, feel bad for them. They can have my $25 if I lose it

    bet #1: 6-22-12, LA Angels -1.5 (+140) vs Dodgers
    (props to Brock for this first play )

    $5 to win $7 is the play

    ^^^read the Title, 25 to 500 in SMALL steps

    0-1 record... watch the game for a minute and 3 run blast

    thanks Haren... counting this as a loss top of the 1st. the one time i convince myself to trust that scrub Haren who i always make fun of

    edit: overreaction to top of the 1st 3 run deficit... classic! first play ends up a winner
    Last edited by ThaTopMoron; 06-23-12 at 12:34 AM. Reason: Haren, 2nd edit...not a losing play

    Saunders was scratched. Should have taken pitchers listed and not action.

    Edit: wrong game

    this was a last minute decision to do this
    not a serious thread
    just trying to have some action till football is back
    i don't like baseball for betting & usually don't bet after the NBA ends till football starts back up

    man i didn't like it at all down 0-3 and then 0-5 in the 2nd inning!

    but FIRST PLAY ends up a winner! 8-5 Angels win and cover the RL

    Moron Betting 25 to 500 challenge: 1-0 record = +$7 for a new bankroll of $32

    edit: i will count $5 as a unit for this thread. so 1-0 record, +1.4 units, BR at $32

    Interesting that you're a low stakes gambler like I am.

    I deposited $40 this year and currently at $260 from betting on Giants +3 Under parlay Super Bowl, American Idol futures, a few MMA fights and the Miami winning the series and championship.

    If you can turn $25 to $500. That's the same as turning $2500 to $50000.

    Technically yes, but depending on how many zeros you have at the end of your numbers, it fks with you psychologically. Losing $25 isn't like losing $2500.

    yeah that's the truth there moshi

    GunShard, yeah... I am a lower stakes gambler in parts of the year, but really not this low very often.

    if i get a nice start here, it will fill that need to have some action a couple days a week

    Good luck. These are fun to try. I'm down $3500 in baseball this season and put in $250 hoping to build back up to even. I'm at $800 now but I usually start with a winning streak, then lose a few games then start making big bets to chase losses until it's all gone. Trying to manage money this time around... My best run was $500 to $13000. Cashed out $10000 and lost the other $3K. Have probably reloaded the $10K since then so I'm going to call myself even!

    It was about 10 or 12 years ago so it's been a long time...it was the year the Sooners had an awesome offense and an okay to avg defense. I bet $1K on the over every week and it hit like 7 times in a row. Had some other lucky streaks. One year I bet $500 on Brad Radke every time he pitched and he went on an amazing win streak. I love recalling those good runs...not the mire I'm stuck in now (thanks a lot Santiago Casilla).

    man, I'm just glad I hit the no score first inning with the good +110 odds in a game that is now 12-5 after 6 innings

    if the under hits, I'm back to positive results
