I would probably withdraw it and pay the people I owe. But I guess that's not something you'd consider...Comment -
Money management. If and when you have a certain profit margain (say $50 or so), than maybe to take a shot at doubling the balance and putting all the profit on a game. Than if it wins, steadier amounts. Picking winners really determines if either way if successful or not.
With $100 balance I would probably just get frustrated though and just put it all on a random play. Who wants to sit their betting $10 a game and losing a "big" game to have to redo it all again.Comment -
i'd probably do a parlay and get it up to over 300 real quickComment -
I would bet $20 per game and see if you an grind it out, most case scenarios whether betting $10, $20, $50 or $100 the money will be gone sooner than later.Comment -
yes.. JJ gold is brutally right... I'd go for the quicker less painful approach.. All in every night.. if your lucky you'll have 400 in 3 nights... but odds are you'll be at 0Comment -
depends if you're funded at other books. is this just extra play $ ?Comment -
I'm assuming its not extra money.Comment -
Find a play that you love.. and all in... then take it from there... .. If you successfully double up to 200.. you have 4 50$wagers.. as long as you don't go 0-4 at worst, you are back to $100.. (1-3)Comment -
Bet to win $25 a game. If you double your bankroll, double the bet size.Comment -
100 is too little you need amazing luck right out of the box. In other words, you can't afford 1 loss. I cant bet like that, good luck with it bro.Comment -
thats why he needs a double up.. a few double ups.. then if you somehow hit 2 or 3 straight bets, its off to the racesComment -
I once turned $50 in to $2000 in about 2 weeks. I pretty much doubled up each game until I got to $1000 or so, then went conservative by betting $100 a game.Comment -
Depending on the book?If they allow you to bet $5 minimums and correlate your parlays,do this.
Take2 home team moneyline favorites,bet them at -1.5 at around +160 and if they have low over and unders,take the over.Great combination.These 4 leg correlated parlays will pay you between $120-$150 on a $5 bet.Lots of bang for your buck.It's a good gambling rush because it seems like if you take 3 of these bets,one or two look like they will win right to the end.Lots of close but no cigar bets these are.hehe!Fun bets!Comment -
it can be done. I've turned 200 into 20gs in less then a month.. gave it all back, but thats besides the pointComment -
At what book did you turn 200 into 20k.. just wonderingOriginally posted by EagesBetsComment -
Also turned $17 in to $5000 once but took about a month I believe.... kicked it off with a 4 team parlay.
But eventually lost all of it back cause I didn't bother withdrawing due to greed and a bad run.
Honestly, I don't think I could do that again since my patience is shot cause I'm betting $1000 a game now and only betting $100 would drive me nuts.Comment -
actually it was 3-4 years ago, starting college.. before I knew of SBR.. So youwager... (cashed out 11k, got check via fedex) and sportsbook.com (cashed out 3k, then 6,500, both via bank wire)... never cashed out all 20gs.. like i said.. I had later lost what i kept in the accounts.. and then some. It was when i was younger and thought i was untoucable. I was a rook, not a seasoned vetComment -
Yeah man, back in the day. Greed, immaturity, lack of experience, bad runs... All on my list of excusesComment -
best I did was turned 300.00 to 5k.Comment -
get it up to atleast $300 before you can do anything significant.
i would work the $100 in 10$ or 15$ bets to get it to 200$, take you 5days..... at most, then pound it on 1 game to get to $300.Comment -
i've said it before...turned 300 into 16 grand in about a monthish...and yea, just like you, lost all of it AND THEN some...Money Management is the single most important part of gambling, something that unfortunately took me a little too long to learn...I did it on 5 dimes, then did something similar to it with my local (see my thread about how I haven't been paid in 8ish weeks to determine if a local is good or not lol)Originally posted by EagesBetsComment -
Double down twice and then go from there is my recommendationComment -

I turned $105 earlier this year into $2100 (but then went down to $1943).
The key is you have to adopt the mindset that you aren't going to turn that money into anything. It's highly improbable that you'll make it into anything other than $0 so it's best you have realistic expectations for this (mis)adventure.
What I did first was just I went all in on a decent size ML favorite...and I did that a few times including doing big fav parlays. So I had to keep going all in. It's a poor strategy in general, and I knew me turning the $105 into anything big was a longshot. Eventually I got my balance to around $400-$500 and from there I treated in more seriously. No more going all in, no more big ML favs, no more ML fav parlays. Eventually, after some hard work, the balance slowly increaed and finally I peaked at $2100, but then lost some but considering what happened (and what had nearly happened), $1900+ was fine by me
In short, you don't have much money to work with so you have to be super aggressive and take some risks. Realistically, don't expect much but if you can turn into say $200 to $400 you should stop.Comment -
Last college basketball season i started with a 100 dollar deposit and worked it up to over 2500 and withdrew all but a hundred and started over, worked it up to about 2k again and lost it all, so you just need solid money management and picking at around 55-60 percent and it'll grow rather quickly. But if you're trying to grow it in a week, i'd go with the find one game you love and go all in method.Comment -
use that ****ing $100 to pay up dude....ur dumbOriginally posted by RIPmyson
you going to pay up? atleast tell the dude no ... lol
sbr should do something about this guy!! or these ppl..... tardsComment -
Go to different forums and get involved in $100 capper challenges.Comment -
I coverted a $50 post up into a couple grand many of times. The best way would be to hit a par 2, for a +$140, then get lucky and nail a par 3 off of a $75 bet to get $450. From their your pretty set to do some decent straight bets. Any higher than a Par 3 is too rare to hit, so I wouldn't even attempt it.Comment -
My best accomplishments of all time with modest post-ups were:
$25 free account with some hack sportsbook that's probably gone under turned in $1052. I remember playing all dog ML's in NFL and 10 of 14 hit, giving my account a huge boost. This was probably 7 years ago.
My current streak was $150 and it's sitting at $2316, with a huge play on NYM pending.Comment -
I would go to the poker room of that site and site down at a 5;/10 heads up table and see if you can catch some cards right away double up. Then put down some $100 2 team big dog parlays and see if you can jump the account up to $500-$1000!Comment
