    Not sure Im gonna get $50 for the 5 in a row this time or not... I didnt place a $50 or more bet within 24 hours of first pick of streak. Placed a $25 one so Ill at least get $25 freeplay. Really wanna get a high streak... $500 at 10, $2000 at 15, and $5000 at 25... $1000 for high streak of the month. would be nice, I fuckkin need it. Luckily I forgot to make my pick on Monday (I would have picked Wisconsin for sure).

    5000$ for 25 wins in a row is nothing, comparing to that streak survivor at Covers which pays 100k. And I believe ESPN is running similar competition with some nice prizes, but it's only for US residents.

    But that 500$ for 10 in a row sounds good.

    Yeah I agree, 5K isnt much for 25, but no one getting that anyways... highest ever on 5Dimes is 19. $500 for 10 is pretty good though, Indians up 4-0 thru 5 innings, Bauer a no-no with 10 Ks

    Hit a 6 last week using some duke and wis ncaa games.

    Had a 5 busted on dumb Mets yesterday

    BTW: Use hedge and free roll to your advantage. Sure might get you banned in the long term but open parlay/parlays/hedge = guarenteed $ when 1 or 2 away from cashing

    Pushed with Pacers last night, they were actually down 5 with 4 minutes left, and up 2 with 12 seconds so Ill take it...

    Here are the games I narrowed it down to...

    Dodgers (Kershaw) -1.5 @ Arizona (Bradley)
    Timberwolves +20 @ Golden State
    National (Fister) pk @ Philadelphia (Hammels)

    Making it a point to fade Hammels this year so this is my strongest lean right now. Love Kershaw against Arizona but don't like having to win by 2. Im thinking Golden State is gonna restrict minutes for their stars, 20 pts is a lot, but I have been burned betting against GSW a few times lately.

    Thinking Nats is the play here...

    Dodgers -1.5 is (-140) so I think I got a good pick here since they are supossed to be closer to pk or (-110)

    5dimes doesnt allow open parlays on freeplays, but I get your point. If I get to 8 I'm going to do this

    I have hit 10 once and took the prize. I have hit 5 wins in a row about 7 times now and took prize each time.


    This is a much easier conest than bookmaker. You can takes picks up t -150 in baseball as pickem lines

    Gonzo from this site hit 16 in a row about 7 months ago.


    I never take the freeplay at 5 or 10, but at 15 I would take the 2000 freeplay. The prizes sort of sucked for the 2000 level

    Had the rays today. Up to 11. I'll be happy with 13 or 17, hitting 21 for 25k seems impossible.

    I always forget to do mine. When you hit 5, do you choose to continue the streak and risk the $50 freeplay or do you get the $50 no matter what?

    Stax, remember that you can get much better odds if you check around. You can get up to -145 at pickem odds in baseball.


    I know that you know this, but don't take a -1 or a +1 if you are on zero wins. Always some line that cant tie.




    I am at 3 wins coming into tomorrow

    You get prizes no matter what. You also get the prizes at 10 and 15 wins no matter.


    Like I mentioned earlier, I would take the prizes at 5 and 10 wins

    Take a West Coast game right before start time and if it wins take an afternoon game. Before your 24 hours are even up you'll have two wins. So technically you'll only ever need 3 to qualify to win the prize.

    Well true, but you still need 5 to win. You can always take an afternoon Europe soccer game as your second play. But I have never given out that advice since it sort is cheating the 5dimes contest and I LOVE this contest


    But I am betting at least $800 everyday in baseball so I never worry about that.

    Yeah definitely not for you. Would help the smaller players though.
