The 15 Rules

[durito]

You are comfortable with this?

Yes.

[SBR Lou]

You must be one of those "special posters" on the other forums that make YouTube videos and talk about how much money it would take for you to suck some guy off.

That's a classic post but it should have been addressed to JJ Gold. Durito and the gang are a bit rough sometimes in their delivery, but they do know what they're talking about. Look for the silver lining.

Yep they just booked a bet at +300 that should be about
+3500

Well, most things in life are negotiable. He could have milked some better odds, but it was already agreed upon.

[smitch124]

Yep, ridicule and cajole the guy into it, I guess everybody needs a hobby...

I haven't read the entire thread yet, but as far as the rules in the OP, not all will apply to everyone but that's the beauty of gambling.

None of the "rules" will apply to anyone who knows anything about betting on sports.

[HedgeHog]

25 bets is an insanely small sample size.

So is 50, but I'm willing to take my chances there.

I propose:

1) 50 2 team parlays from now till the end of the baseball season or till you hit 50
2) Use lines from the Greek -- you must post in a thread we will create with the odds of the two games at the time (so they can be verified via SBRlines in case of discrepancies)
3) Your parlay odds can be +140 and above.
4) If you win 30 parlays or more you win, 29 or less and I win.

I will pay 3/1 odds.

Contest also ends once the 21st loss is posted as 30 wins would no longer be possible. No way this contest makes it to 50...I put the O/U at 36 (15W-21L). This is easy money for you Durito.

Deal, start the thread.

Lock, please PM me an email address.

Saint it won't let me send u a PM

gl st.
not as impossible as people making it seem. esp 2nd half baseball.
btw parlays of o/u allowed?

there's about a .001% chance of hitting 24 or more 2 team parlays out of 40 assuming a no vig line of -110 (about what you'd get on totals)

But, sure it's not impossible.

Maybe I should open a sportsbook.

[max_asdf]

i mean a parlay of 1team + 1 o/u

i mean its shit odds to this deal anyways. why talk %'s.

guess he is out to prove something...over $$$

Oh I tried sending you a PM. It won't allow it. Try PM'ing me.

I can't do it, it won't let me.

[BuddyBear]

I am sorry to sound harsh, but what difference does it make if he won or lost. Next time he expereinces the slightest adversity he is going to go all in. He set a boatload of rules to regulate his chasing habits and violated them within 3 days of setting them. What does that tell you? It tells you he is a degenerate gambler which almost everyone here is.

I am sorry, the rules are horrible and you'll never ever win with them. You need an entire paradigm shift for how you view sports betting. Once you set real rules, you'll see that you can profit. What you have here is a bad bad business model....

Good luck....

You are right about one thing: if I lose five bets in a row I will probably go all-in again. Actually, I know I will. The reason is because I just don't give a fvck anymore.

Thanks for the advice though

You have the desire and motivation to win, now just make some adjustments and you'll be okay. Nobody here wants to see you lose, but if you go all in like you did last night (especially on a game where you were losing total value) there are going to be big problems down the road.

It's human nature to chase, just have to find a way to not do it.

This isn't intended to be an arrogant statement: I don't handle losing well because I'm not used to it. So when it happens, I get demoralized and just go all-in. The last two times it has worked. I'll catch the bullet on the next one.

That would violate Rule #13 concerning Money Management. The worst time to throw out MM is when you're in a losing streak.

[durito]

You will lose 5 bets in a row again.

It's substantially more likely than the odds of hitting 60% at +140 over any reasonable sample size.

Bet for long enough and you'll lose a lot more than that. I have lost more than 10 bets in a row more than once. I believe justin mentioned losing 22 mlb bets in a row once.

[TheLock]

Wow 22 is pretty sick. I can relate in some sense. I'm a long term winning cash game poker player (low limit NL) and I once had 9 losing sessions in a row due to sick variance.

[wallym]

my longest losing streak is 12...12 parlays...not fun...more like a paid learning lesson to me...

[englishmike]

I've followed this thread with interest and I genuinely hope ST A. wins every bet he places but I do think that his own ill-discipline with the majority of his own rulesis worse than other peoples opinions, in as much as, if you feel you have asystem it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks and I think his system does have some merit. However, I do think if you constantly break your own rules you're probably wasting your time posting your system. Just myopinion, doesn't make me right.

Good luck with your bets.

[Chi_archie]

time to get ready for baseball boys

[rjt721]

Not sure why you bumped this, but thanks for doing so. This thread's even more amusing than I remembered.

- Don't play totals
- No ML higher than -139

Hysterical.

However, those ridiculous rules pale in comparison to this gem:

Don't bet more than one game in the same time slot.

In the words of fiveteamer, "Unreal".

No wonder St. Andrew changed his name.
