Hey everybody. This post is to announce my retirement from posting at this website. I started this quest over a month ago with the goal of turning 25,000$ into 100,000$ in a few months. I got off to a great start, when I was betting smart and not adding games, then this weekend I chased, and chased, and accordingly so .. LOST. This is what you should expect when you chase after losing. The entire point of this "quest" was to use some extra capital from six hard years of precise money management and picking winners, and to go "crazy" with it. This is why I started posting, because I thought many of you would enjoy it. I have gotten numerous PM's from you guys, and i've answered your questions, shared my knowledge and we've had some fun along the way .. too bad I got greedy and placed wagers that I both shouldn't have, and wouldn't have if I was being strict with my money; yet I bet freely, wen't crazy and lost. With a denver win tonight I will still have 100,000$ to go to Las Vegas, so I am going to count my losses of this quest and I will be heading down to Las Vegas January 3rd, 2010. That is a Saturday. My fiancee and I will be staying in a hotel for two days before moving into our new home on the Monday. If any other posters at this forum, whether I have talked to you before about this or haven't, will be in Las Vegas this week or any week in the month of January .. or in fact any month of the year, haha, then please send me a PM and I would love to go out, do something exciting (as I know there is alot to do in Las Vegas) and grab some drinks and something to eat, with the fiancee accompanying me and whomever accompanying yourself.

Once I get to Las Vegas, I will be returning to strict money management. I hope that lots of you have learned from my story that money management is the way to go, especially with an examplary finish, chasing and losing 1/5th of the bankroll I worked so hard, and patiently to build. This is how I will be betting, and I strongly suggest if any of you wish to build a bankroll to do the same ...

I will be wagering on 10-16 selections per week. I will have 5 to 10 selections during the week, thus one or two selections per day, and I will have 5 or 6 plays on the weekend. Every selection will be 1% or 2% or 3% of my bankroll (with the majority of the selections being 1 or 2%) or in your case 1 unit or 2 units or 3 units. I will be having one 5 unit selection each week too. If you decide to follow my style of money management, then technically the goal of each week is to profit 2 units (or 2%) thus in one year you will DOUBLE your bankroll. Anything less than 2 unit profit per week is below average, but do not chase, and anything above 2 units per week is icing on the cake. I feel as though I will be able to double my bankroll atleast once, and hopefully coming close to doubling it twice .. every year.

Finally, I want to say thankyou to all the posters who came into my threads .. wished me luck, congradulating me on wins etc. Thanks alot, and you guys are the only reason I continued to post my plays. I couldn't stand the bashers. I understood where they were coming from as I was betting over my head, and way more games than I should have; but that was the entire point of this quest .. to either double my bankroll fully or teach me a lesson. THANKYOU TO EVERY POSTER OF THIS FORUM, I wish you all continued success.

Frankly, with over 50 days before I move to Las Vegas, and no sports investing within these 50 days I frankly have no idea what i'll do while my fiancee is at work. I will continue to keep up on sports, follow intensively but it won't be the same as not watching the game and having the game effect my pocket (positively or negatively).

There is one last wager I have, BEING DENVER +3 TONIGHT, and then I will be done. I had a great time here, this was my first time posting on forums for the public to see and even though I didn't finish in the positve I had many e-mails from guys saying I won them lots of money, and for that I am happy.

I wish you all best of luck in the future, and I will sure to stop in everynow and then; but as a professional sports handicapper, living in Las Vegas. I cannot wait boys and I will come back to keep you updated and to see how others are doing. I hope you learned something from my thread.

GL and take care!

hey man..good luck with everything..have been following your post..i live in vegas..have been here for about 15 years..hit me up if you need any type of info on anything out here..good luck..

It so funny how they always claim they have won for 6 years but when they try to post plays o prove it they lose their ass.

Didnt chase for 6 years but when he posts his plays it hardly takes a month for him to chase and lose his ass.

But dont worry, the $25,000 wasnt his whole bankroll. He still has 100K from all the money he won during those 6 years he didnt post and of course managed to not chase and lose his ass.

tango · 11-09-09 04:07 PM

I enjoy reading your thread. I am also thinking of moving there in the next couple of years. It's a good time to buy a home there since the real estate market tanked and looks like it won't recover for a while.

Vegas is a good place to party and have fun but a bad place to raise a family.

Anyway, good luck and looking forward to seeing your picks again in the near future.

Your a tool and im not going to respond to your post more than by saying: this was an unconventional quest, hence why I came to this forum to post as it was fun rather than stressful.

Thanks tango, houses are cheap and the neigbhourhood we are moving too looks like a very nice place to raise a family.

Sorry however, I will no longer be posting plays in the future. This is it. Glad you enjoyed my threads, I tried to throw in some information on the games, some information on methods of gambling as well as my plays. Unfortunately I was looking at, and betting too many games each week and things didn't end well. No worries, as I look for and wish all else continued success.

Ignoring the haters.

thanks gundog. gl with your future as well.

Serbone · 11-09-09 04:45 PM

Never heard of ya.

nobs · 11-09-09 05:21 PM

come on Hamilton, you came here to look like a big shot talking about turning 25K into 100K but always making sure to mention that the 25K wasnt your entire bankroll.

Wouldnt want someone to think that you only had 25K to bet with, oh no you are much bigger than that.

Then when your 25K into 100K plan fails ( big shock), you claim you are retiring from the boards and running off to vegas with the millions that you won before you started posting plays and lost of course.

I have seen your spiel 5000 times.

nobs · 11-09-09 05:22 PM

if you are retiring and you are so rich, why dont you send me your 226 points and show everyone what a big shot you really are

my information is in the promotions forum.

11-09-09 07:30 PM

thankyou guys. I will check back in to let you know how I do. I am offering my services, but only to those loyal to me and those who wish to suceed by building your bankroll to the point where you can double it up; and continuing.

I am no longer going to post games because people ask for me to come up with a selection for the game; I am betting who ive studied and feel there is strong reason they should win or cover, and not letting others influence the amount of games I wager.

Back to units being 1,000$

haha

Thanks everyone and goodluck!

G's pks · 11-09-09 07:33 PM

Best of luck... take care G.

11-09-09 07:40 PM

Good Luck to you. Since you're moving to vegas and have a decent bankroll, might I recommend blackjack. Counting cards is not near as hard as it is made out to be. The hardest things are putting in a substatial amount of practice before hitting the tables, having a large enough bankroll to minimize risk or ruin, and discipline to stick to the system no matter what. If you are interested shoot me a message and I'll set you up with all the tools you will need to be successful

Definately going to need to study ways to play blackjack, as I imagine I will play it, but I will not be focussing on it as my source of income so I am not worried.

The only way I see myself not succeeding in Las Vegas is if I manage to lose money on other methods of gambling ie. blackjack, poker etc.

I have the fundamentals of poker down, know not to play scared ever etc. but will definately be playing these tables for low-stakes, regardless.

Thanks and GL
