Ok guys, well here is the skinny, towards the end of football, I was failing, and it was consuming me, and the Wifey asked me to take a break from online betting, so I did. Fast forward to last week, she says "you seem unhappy, maybe take 2k and start betting some basketball...." I was like...... Are you serious right now..... amazing! SO here I am.

I am kind of dipping my feet into NCAAB (I usually play NBA only) but thought ncaab seemed more predictable this year... I decided I would track my results for a week to make sure I had a slight advantage in NCAAB before committing to betting big, I have currently tracked my results for 4 days (today is the 5th) and I have a record of 28-12-1... yesterdays card had

SDSU u134 W
GMU -5 L
St. Johns +2.5W
Minnesota ev L
N. Ill Ov 125.5 L
Evansville -3W
STL Ov 123W
Utep +4.5W
EMU Ov 106.5W
Rutgers Ov 134.5W
Rhode Island U 150.5 L
FSU -12.5W
UNLV U147W

Anyways, I got too involved with breaking down every game in NCAAF, so Im just going to track results in this thread basically... I will probably list my daily plays before 10am each morning, and that'll be that... cant let it be as time consuming or the wife will kill me... I was going to simply avoid SBR but @ 28-12-1 I felt obligated to post... could be beneficial to some... anyways.... thats that... GL... Working on todays picks now.

[spladle08]

flying through them today, going to stop @ 10. Anyways here ya go.

College of Charleston -3.5
ORU +3
Gonzaga +3.5
Eastern Kentucky +2
Portland +5.5
Iona u148.5
Manhattan -16
Idaho State OV 135.5
UCLA u141
San Diego +20.5

Should probably skim the rest... but sticking with 10 today... BOL

[grizzlies1]

Welcome back pal

[spladle08]

Thanks man... glad to have something to occupy some time again.... Im gonna put 1k on Betislands in the morning and get that 100% free-play +10% Cash bonus...giving me ~$2100 and then just go balls to the wall, with some aggressive BR strategy.. Im thinking
$200/Bet-week 1
$300/Bet-week 2
$400/Bet-week 3
$500/Bet week 4
for the rest of the month at least.. and just see how quickly I can grow or fail... figured it will be inspirational or commical... either way Im going to stick to this plan, until I fail or swim in $$$$

*if I drop below 10bets @ any level above the initial $200 bets, I will drop back down to the previous stakes for an entire week (no exception)

[spladle08]

Im heading home... GL to everyone tonight, hope everyone CRUSHES and is busy countin fat stax...
I start my quest tomorrow...

LETS GO!

Read the ~4th post in the thread.


Hey Madison, hope you've been getting filthy rich over the last few weeks (months). BOL Old friend

[spladle08]

Alright so challenge starts now... "make money or fail" challenge.

I just depositted on BI $950+$950 FP Bonus+$95 Cash Bonus+$81 Reimburse ** fees = $2,076 (to play)

*Im already regretting my decision a bit, I chose BI just because of the bonus and figured I could use a boost for this suicide mission, but they said they dont post "totals" until an hour or 2 before gametime.... and I like to bet totals = fail.... eh well... always got the spreads GL all

Today looks tough but right now I am leaning
Clev St. Ov 114
Clev St -11
Columbia -3.5
Dartmouth Ov 112
Penn +2

[spladle08]

WB Spaldle. GL on your plays bud. Good to see you back in the game.

[GoBlue77]

you still play way too many games man. i'd shorten your card drastically

[spladle08]

Yeah Blue.. it was a a crazy weekend... yesterday went really well... and then for some reason I just stacked off on the patriots... (excluding hockey bets I have in for tonight....) and here I am again.... I got to find some discipline... regardless of how tonight's bets go I'm going to throw more money on 5dimes... tomorrow.. and get back after this with some seriousness... pretty disgusted by how focused I was until money came into play.. and then the insta-collapse of caring. Wish Me luck on making 5dimes reload count..

[MJT1212]

whats your record at this point?

BTW your wife is AWESOME!

[spladle08]

record is horrible..since starting this challenge... well im sure its somewhere around even... but I varied bet sizes and abandoned the system I put in place to prevent me from being a complete degen.. sigh... I let the slow BetIslands-total lines tilt me enough... + alcohol... + lord knows what else... that this experience was an absolute failure.. I still have 764, from my initial 1,000... but thats not the point, the point is, I didn't stick to this system at all, and was down to less than 1bet 2x... sigh.. anyways. This topsy turvey weekend has inspired me to deposit on 5dimes today or tomorrow (so I cant use delayed lines as an excuse) ...and see if I can stick to like 3 bets /day... I play too many games... and need to cut the fat... wish me luck... I think I am taking today off (just to see if I can)... jhdbvuhbuqobfuweb addicted to the action
