    Is it worth it? If you have a $5000 roll it seems silly to bet so small, but how much would you be up hitting 54% over a season at $50 (1%) per play?

    Sure you can , everyone at CW bets $100 a game and they all cash out the max $1000 each week so it must be possible.

      Depends on what the juice is and number of plays.

        FIRST OF ALL, NO ONE HERE WHO PLAYS AT CW WILL HIT 54%.. AND EVEN IF THEY DID, FOR EVERY 100 GAMES THEY BET, THEY'D CLEAR ONLY 170 BUCKS..

        SO A 50 DOLLAR BETTOR WHO PLAYS 4 GAMES A DAY WOULD MAKE JUST ABOUT 170 PER MONTH, OR LESS THAN 6 BUCKS A DAY.. AND THAT IS HITTING 54%, WHICH NO ONE HERE CAN..

        I GUESS MAKING AN AVG OF 6 BUCKS A DAY IS WORTH IT FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE HERE.

          True that. With those things given it's probably easy enough to figure out say 200 plays at an average of -110, at least for those which aren't borderline retarded such as myself.

          Ganch should whip something up like that...

            sure you can

            say you go 540-460. @ -100 lines that is +80 units aka $4000 for the season
            @-110 lines that is +72 units aka $3600
            or say your smart like everyone else and bet +110 or greater that is +88 units aka $4400

            Is it worth it, is up to your opinion. I'd say yes because as long as your consistent you will be winning. If you bet your house or the money in your wallet. Winning is winning to me.

                yeah you can, 50 dollars a game will double your bankroll if you go on a run. not that hard considering you bet heavy chalk in tennis. i am 5-1 in wimbledon today (Tipsarevic lost the 1st set), and was doing perfect in the earlier rounds. however, i stayed the hell away from ladies singles...never know which player has a period and start playing like shit.

                  Given 200 bets at -110 and winning 54% of them while laying 50 to win 45.45 on each you would be up about $309. Given that you don't change from your standard $50 bet as your roll grows.

                      Seems like a lot of plays for minimal profit...

                      Thanks for your help...

                          You can't be professional for $50 a game unless you make thousands of $50 bets every day and thats not possible to do for the long run making thousand bets every day.

                            54% is not unrealistic. Making 4-5 plays a day is.
