    Turning $50 into 1K What would your strategy be??? Check in Sharps and Math Guruz

    Aight so If your trying to get from $50 to 1K....


    If you parlay 4 teams at + Money it's going to be about $1,000


    I supposed you could also parlay 6 favorites to get to $1,000


    which would be a better a chance of cashing?


    Do you go with the line of thinking that even though dog's have less chance to win it's easier to win 4 games than it is 6 games?

    or do you look at it like well favorites are supposed to win so as long as these cats " do what they spota do" than everything should go as plannned.... ?


    I'll show you some different options of things i am looking at

    If you want to go from $50 to 1k, play straight wagers only and be prepared to take some time; avoid parlays.

    $5 on resume paper. $10 on gas. $25 on a career service. Find a job.

    for some reason every time i do straight wagers i end up betting the game that ends up losing and then my other leans will of course win and gets very frustrating.

    so i am like well if i'm going to lose i might as well swing for the fence.

    I just can't seem to narrow it down to 1 game i want to bet on, or decide how much to bet on a single game.

    where the hell do you pay $25 for a career service?

    and what do they do in return for your $25?

    I did it multiple times in less than a month back in the days, the real strategy you've got to be good at gambling which you probably not.
    But anyways that's how i did it:

    First Double up to 100, then keep betting 25 each till you hit 200, then bet 30 till you hit 300$, 40 and 400$ and so on until hit 1K.

    you guys must have all been poor students. Your reading comprension is lacking.

    the point of the thread was to pick between the parlays above so i know which one to take.

    or come up with a better parlay!

    It's all about value in the bet selections. I assume you are saying - I want to take a shot at it - so what if I lose the $50 bucks today. If it was me I would pick out baseball teams at + 1 1/2 on the run line. Hey, its Friday night LOL Home teams at +1 1/2 like Phillies,Mets,Miami.Orioles.

    I know they look really bad but you are taking a shot - good luck!

    The problem with Parlays is that you will hit all but 1 play on each of them. But look at the bright side. You will have a great hard luck story to tell your buds the next day. I hear it at least once a day at work how someone missed it by "this much"
