    Turned $400 into nearly $21,000.. Time to quit?

    I deposited $400 into an offshore account to qualify for a contest at another forum... I use locals mainly and it's just was to be active...

    Well here we are 2 months later and my account is just shy of $21,000

    I'm thinking about calling it quits for at least a month, maybe longer. The only exception being to hedge my future bets ( have Maryland, Gonzaga and Norte Dame in NCAA)

    I'm on fire... But better to quit in the middle of a hot streak than a cold one, right?

    You should make arrangements to cash out. Your troubles have just began if it's not a reputable book.

    Wow that's awesome! Good for you man. This is more poker philosophy in that your play can be tilted when getting beat up OR when on a rush. Many people are unaware of the latter but it applies to sports betting as well. Plus how would you feel if you pushed it lost it all and always regretted not withdrawing now when you thought about it? Coach has it right leave a bit in to scratch the itch. Dont count on him to ever be right about anything else the sun shines on dog's ass once a millennium.

    Solid play bud.

    Cash out 18 grand and keep 3 grand in and keep playing with that.. Doesn't look like you play much more then $500 a bet anyways..

    If you have debt, cahsout and payoff debt.

    If no debt, try to turn the 20K into 100K... Then put a down payment on a house (to rent) or a business.

    i wouldn't focus on liquidating the whole thing immediately. i think your dfca situation will kinda force you into this anyway, but i'd put myself on a "salary" of sorts as long as i can. hopefully over time you'll earn well beyond the 20k you have currently. you will need to consider adopting a little more conservative style, and once you do take a big loss just beat off and go to bed in lieu of chasing.

    i get excited when people run their money up. turn this into a legit second income. you came this far, so you can do that too. there's always opportunities to make money around the corner, just be patient and execute.

    Very good call; stick to it if payout "problems" magically appear.

    Bookmaker had a $1 million guarantee at some point, a couple of years ago.
