    From $10,000 to $1 million by the end of 2011

    I am taking the risk that I might be accused of starting too many threads, but I am confident about achieving this goal and I would like to make a record of all plays in the SBR forum.

    The plot is that I put $10,000 for this. The project fails if I lose this amount at any time. As I accumulates profits (hopefully I could succeed to do so), the amount wagered will be bigger and bigger.

    Throughout the 18 months, plays will be made in any sports. The Sportsbook I will use are Betfair, 5Dimes and Bookmaker choosing the best lines. The focus will be on the following sports (in order with the most important focus listed first):
    1. NCAAF / college football;
    2. MLB;
    3. NHL;
    4. NBA;
    5. Tennis;
    6. NFL;
    7. Soccer.

    Play #1:
    Parlay
    Santonja -200
    Hercog
    $1,000 to win $929

    Lastly, I am a human and I will make many mistakes. I welcome constructive advice and suggestions at any time of any sort since this is a very challenging goal, I could do with some help. SBR is a great site and I know many people with lots of knowledge and experience in this business.

    Good question - of course I am going to use a few books, for at least 2 reasons:

    1. Given that the maximum wager for the American books are normally $2,000 to $5,000, I anticipated the need to place a single bet in more than 1 books if the wager amount exceed that in due time. On the other hand, Betfair will be used significantly as far as possible, there is theoretically no limit there.

    2. I will have to monitor the account balance at each book carefully and make withdrawal not too frequently to "upset" the books but frequently enough not to leave too high balance in the account. But this is something I have been doing for a few years now.

    If you bet 10 % on a parlay you don't have big chance

    I've turned $100 into $5,000 (50 times initial starting amount) a few times by proportionally increasing bet sizes. Just wish i had the balls to be able to keep going and bet larger amounts like what you will do here.

    I see no reason why you can't succeed, its all proportional to your starting amount.

    Best of luck

    Thanks! It will not be strictly 10% each play but it will definitely increase. In fact, I would really like to listen to more opinions and arguments about this, the "unit" per play system on one end and the "%" of balance system. Obviously the second option is more risky but I personally see some merit in it and believe that the aggressive approach can be equally successful if used in the correct way.

    Parlay more than 4 teams is a no no but this is a parlay of 2 teams to make it an about even payout play.

    yes it is proportionate, except that the psychological pressure which comes when the wager gets bigger is also proportionately higher. i think you are spot on about the nature of this challenge - the way i see it it is about managing the psychological pressure as the wager gets larger. The mental part makes a whole lot of difference.

    Santonja won but Hercog is about to lose - looks like I will be off to a bad start.

    broken - WTA is never easy.

    regardless of the outcome, I am considering making Play #2 on the UNDER 2.5 in the Germany-Spain semi-final.
