Strategy for the 128-Man Bracket Tournament

[fearless]

Is it better to use your best bet early on a play you love or to wait for later no matter what? I mean, if you're trailing late making a +200 dog a best bet makes it become a +600 payout. If you save your best bet you'll never be out of it, no matter what, imho.

Texas -25,000 or whatever for best bet

Play all the ML's at -1000 or higher

My lowest play is -800 i think

thats very good!..the guys who think they will skate home with 10-16 ML huge favs are in for a rude awakening

Hit a baseball game last night +135 but I am up against a rock in Augustus..he put his 3 point bomb on a even money MLB just about..he won..I guess he saw the ML thing later though..If I lose to him I wont mind

But the point about possibly saving your 3 unit play for a dog to pull you out of a deep hole is a good one

Thanks. I've made some nice posts about strategy in the tourney and I've received no points for them. A few points goes a long way towards encouraging someone.

take all the big favs and take advantage

so what happens to you if your opponent does the same?,but sneaks in a +105 dog winner?..lots of strategy left in this contest

[SamsNCharge99]

my opponent alrdy made his plays and has a record...so that wont happen

[InTheHole]

this is what i am doing as well

Only makes sense betting anything over -1000 in a contest. Real Money? You would have to be out of your mind....I have seen people get destroyed on MoneyLines as high as -20000 last year....Trust Me.
