            Nice plan there.

            Make a 2K parlay with no plans on how to get it out if you hit it.

            Genius move.

              For what it's worth I dug myself out by doing 3-4 team parlays using the Accuscore straight up picks 65% or higher or dogs +1.5 when the dogs were favored 55% or higher. Inconsistent sometimes but when it hits it hits.

                  Exactly----Parlays are the way to go. Especially 5+ teams. They are definitely profitable. All great players use 5+ team parlays when they get barrelled in.

                  No risk, no reward.

                                  This is a lot of money to be up and down. You don't have a proven system, it's better to quit for awhile and work on your strategy before you bet with real money again.

                                    Hi all long story short after early success in December with sports betting the first half of 2011 was a complete disaster and toward the end of May I was tracking about $30,000 lost. Couple of maxed out ************ that I was going to have to cash out my 401k to pay. I managed to get about $15K back into my account by the time my girlfriend found out and gave me an ultimatum--quit and cut my losses or lose her. I convinced her to give me 2 weeks to try to get the extra $10K back.

                                    So this past Sunday was the 2 week mark and I'd lost all of that $15K except for $2K so as a last ditch effort I did a 6 team baseball parlay to win about $36K and it hit thanks to a miracle 2 run bottom 9th from Milwaukee. But I am so done because I can't control it once I start.

                                    So here's my real question--how do I take this money out? I have it in Youwager (who is great btw) and they do bank wires with a max of $25K. If I take it all out in $25K and then $11K is the government going to come sniffing? Should I do it in 4 $9K increments? Does it matter?

                                    Thanks.

                                    Whats up Teddy Covers?

                                      cash out your 401.......

                                      bet the over on the padras runs scored every day and you will be made.

                                        Understand money management and self control or you will lose.

                                          What are you dopes talking about I do'nt know how to withdraw? I just said I know all the withdraw options my question was which was better from an IRS or gov't standpoint. I said they are great because they are quick with withdrawals and don't burn me like BetUs did. The point of the story was to say why I was quitting instead of me just coming on and saying hey guys I won $36000 what do I do?

                                          As far as proof I will gladly provide it although I'm sure I'll get accused of doctoring this:

                                              mikey- they are saying if you havent withdrawn from youwager, you dont know whether its great or not. thats the most important factor on whether a book is great or not great- how/if they pay.

                                              you should at least do one last 2000$ parlay before you quit though.

                                                I would love to know what his Tax Bill/Penalty was for raiding his 401K to gamble.

                                                    Nah on the real, never mix business with pleasure. Only thing to figure out here is what's business and pleasure. And if their both on the same side, then girly should not only understand but also be down for the cause (hustle).
