    Toon's crazy 8 madness
    Let me start by saying, I dont profess to be the best capper or proclaim to have a lock on a game. I'm like most here, just love to bet on sports, have some fun and hopefully pick more winners than losers. I'm fortunate to be recently retired at the ripe old age of 55 and can spend as much time as I want handicapping games, especially this time of the year when our golf courses are closed. When I do make my selection I can assure you that I have spent plenty of time breaking down each particular game.
    I've been around the sports world all my life, as a player, coach and father of a pro athlete. Gambling came naturally let's just say it was in the Gene's
    Now to the good stuff and sorry to bore you. I want to challenge myself to a game I'm gonna call Crazy 8 Madness. Starting with a bankroll of $1000. The gist of the game is to start with $100 double it up and try to hit 8 strait and turn $100 into $10,000. Couple rules...after the 2nd round if I'm still alive I pull my original bet out and play with house money. Bankroll allows me 10 rounds, will do more if all goes well. Lastly I can pick any sport, I love the versatility. No more than a couple picks a day, may even pop the odd live bet in there.
    For those that care I use 888 as my book.
    I actually started yesterday on my own under another thread yesterday. (my first thread so it is documented). I did okay going 2 and 0 with a late push in the Wash St. Game, also had the over in the Auburn game and Syracuse. (will only count the push in my overall record)

    Opening bankroll: $1000
    After 2 strait pulled my original bet back and am playing with house money now.
    Round 1: Bet #3
    Risk $268.40 return $485.80

          Love those stress free plays! Would never typically make another play until the game is complete (can you say jinx), but heading out to the casino with the family to play a little craps. Would be the worst bad beat of all time.
          As much as I'd like to let it roll on the big game tonight I cant find an angle to lean one way or another. So I'm going change up sports and move on to some college hoops.

            A few questions:

            1) Toon = Newcastle fan? Would be a hell of a story if u were an Al Toon fan.

            2) Did u record ArkSt/Nevada Under as a winner? Would be worst beat of all-time, but it's now in OT. And that's included in total.
            Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                  Nice one, Toon. Would have sucked if it was 10-10 and went to 8OT.

                        Tough spreads today in the NFL..so looking for the best value on a moneyline play. I believe this game comes down to the kickers, saying that I'm leaning on Money Matt to be the difference.

                                  Getting interesting...may just have to do the smart thing and cash out. Not a bad couple of days, with an initial wager of $100. Starting balance of $1000 now sitting at $3469.50. I will take the 6-0 record and a push.

                                    Wow Uncle Festy. You seem to have a little bit of knowledge here and have taken a real gentlemanly approach. If you keep spitting out winners you may have yourself a few more views and a bigger following. Keep up the good work. You’ve gotten the attention of The Shooter. Real nice touch with weber state. Decent size bird on ya too

                                      I guess I should feel privileged coming from the Shooter. But after reading through your thread not sure if that's a good thing. But then again maybe starting up a little controversy might be what I need to get this thread kick started.

                                        Just showing some love Uncle fester ! I appreciate the support. Keep picking some winners, and tell the idiots to focus on what’s important. That’s winning money. So many losers who obviously don’t gamble. Way too much time on their hands!
