    THREGREAT1 Introduction and plays
    I have been gambling for only a little under 2 months. I made my original deposit of $150, got hot, started betting much more than I originally was, went cold, and lost it all. Made another $150 deposit, stayed cold, and lost that deposit as well.

    I returned after that for one more go with one last deposit of $150. I made a strict set of rules for myself and have followed them to this point and have since bounced back to recover all of my losses. Two of the many rules were that If I lost it all again that I would be done and that if I ever reached an amount over $450 I would withdraw $450 to cover my losses. I recently reached my goal of going over $450 when Missouri covered on Friday night and I will be withdrawing $450 in a few hours when it is available.

    At this point I am playing with house money. It is a very small amount but I am going to start off small and gradually increase the amounts bet on each game. I'm either going to look like a loser betting such little amounts on each game as I slowly lose the remaining money in my account or I am going to look like I know what I'm doing if I can somehow turn $29.79 into much more. It was a relief to get that $450 back, especially the $300 that I threw away on stupid bets when I first started.

    I will be posting all of my plays here. Best of luck to anyone who tails, fades, posts, or views this thread.

      Bucks look pretty bad so far. I'm surprised they are going to be heading to half time only losing by single digits.

                Boston Celtics In-Play ML


                3-1 tonight for +$20.09

                Overall NBA: 3-1
                Balance to start the night: $29.79
                Current balance: $49.88

                A Detroit Pistons meltdown away from a perfect night. They actually were down by 1 point with 3:47 left in the game before just completely collapsing. A bad beat but it was still a good night overall. Won four total wagers but will combine both Celtics In-Play ML bets as one.

                    Miami Heat -4

                    0-1 tonight for -$5.25

                    Overall NBA: 3-2
                    Starting balance: $29.79
                    Balance to start the night: $49.88
                    Current balance: $43.63

                    Taking the Heat only giving up a few points is always a risk as they are more than likely going to be a huge public favorite in those games. I thought the Magic might struggle a bit with all of the recent Dwight Howard drama. Bad play on my part, have to be smarter than that.

                          A word of advice....never good to bet 50% of your roll. You're a compulsive gambler and will be reloading by the end of the night.

                                          0-2 last night for -$25.25

                                          Overall NBA: 3-4
                                          Starting balance: $29.79
                                          Balance to start last night: $43.63
                                          Current balance: $18.38

                                          Two bad picks again last night. 0-3 in my last 3 NBA plays and it looks like I cashed out at the right time. Much rather be losing these $20 and $5 bets than have been betting $50-$100 on each game like I would have if I didn't cash out though. Fade material at this point to anyone that views the thread.

                                              So, I ended up wagering this weekend with the $450 that remained in my account after I lost that rest of that remaining $29.79.

                                              Last Monday when I went to withdraw I couldn't get online until 3 and it turned out the free processing was only from 9am-1pm. So, I had $479.79 in my account but was only gambling with the $29.79. I was good and didn't wager any of it until Saturday.

                                              I got my account up to $652.03 as I saw some plays that looked so enticing that I just couldn't pass them up. The K State bet was bad because I made it without knowing that Samuels was out but other than that I think I had a good weekend.

                                              Now, I have withdrawn $600 this morning in time for the free processing and I will be at $52.03.

                                              I know it was a very risky thing to do and I could have really screwed myself but I came out on top and that's all that matters.

                                              Here is a picture for proof in case anyone thinks I am just making shit up and actually went broke but am refunding my account.

                                                Updates records after this weekend:

                                                NBA - 3-4-1
                                                NCAAM - 5-4

                                                I guess I'll just start the balance over at $52.03 for tonight.

                                                      Last Monday when I went to withdraw I couldn't get online until 3 and it turned out the free processing was only from 9am-1pm. So, I had $479.79 in my account but was only gambling with the $29.79. I was good and didn't wager any of it until Saturday.

                                                      I got my account up to $652.03 as I saw some plays that looked so enticing that I just couldn't pass them up. The K State bet was bad because I made it without knowing that Samuels was out but other than that I think I had a good weekend.

                                                      Now, I have withdrawn $600 this morning in time for the free processing and I will be at $52.03.

                                                      I know it was a very risky thing to do and I could have really screwed myself but I came out on top and that's all that matters.

                                                      Here is a picture for proof in case anyone thinks I am just making shit up and actually went broke but am refunding my account.

                                                            NBA record: 3-6-1

                                                            Maybe I'm just trying to hard to find the perfect plays since I'm posting plays and trying so hard to get this balance to an amount that I can get back into betting $100 per game. I keep passing on games I really like for some reason. Pretty much everything I post is fade material.

Just going to go all in tonight on my college and see what happens. I don't know if they are going to win, I don't know if they are going to lose, but at least I'll go down with my team.
