No just sound money management. Then this year I couldn't pick anything at anytime. It was like the NFL knew who I picked and fixed it so that I couldn't win although I did hit my Ragewizard supernova Parlay of the year.

117.50 left for me. Hopefully I can turn it into 500+.

Do I take the "double up twice" approach?
Or split it into 6 units and flat bet?

Wish me luck!

[pavyracer]

I know some people in this forum that lost 20 dimes in less than 90 min. That takes some skills!

[Stumpage]

One night years ago, 1996 or so, I deposited something like $50 into Intertops, then went to the casino. Lost my first hand of blackjack, then went on an insane run of victories starting with my last $25. Blackjacks, dealer busts, "sure thing" double down victories; I simply could not lose. More I won, the more I gradually began to increase my bets and was soon up to near $4,000.

Don't play any online casino anymore, having finally accepted their domination long since, but have always recalled that Intertops winning run.

[VegasDave]

Super-sadly, the only thing I've ever won big on is slots.

[capitalist pig]

Ive done it several times in the stock market the last 20 years. Betting wise, I just dont wager big enough to hit that big win.

later

I think good flat bets or strong ML parlays would be the way to go.

[jjgold]

not me

Usually turned 10k into $5

[supra23]

i actually started sportsbetting in the end of december 2007. Deposited $20 in bodog and played poker and bet on sports as well and then turned it into around $2,050 by the middle of January 2008. Then couldnt control myself and started losing because of the overbets i was making on sports, so i chased and now my account is a big fat 0!..lol,

I should of stuck with poker or managed my bankroll better in sportsbetting...nonetheless i feel very tempted to deposit another $20 into bodog and try it again. But Im so frustrated with losing all that, that quick!

SOMEONE CONVINCE ME NOT TOO REDEPOSIT!!!!!

[MrX]

My friend in college was a getting his phd in mathematics. He was married, and when we wanted to start a poker game, he had to ask his wife if he could gamble with $20. She okay, but once the $20 was gone, that was it for gambling.

His gambling fund is now approaching a million bucks, all from that original $20. Almost all of it from online poker. Pretty impressive but it's taken 15 years.

...ya i see that being very possible, poker competition online is rather soft. With proper bankroll management and skill anything can be accomplished

Do you remember what site he plays at? Because I play at bodog only due to the fact that it is also a sportsbook and I like betting sports as well. The only gripe I have with bodog is that the beats are just mind boggling. I know their will be bad beats in poker but for some reason bodog is notorius for them...

[zerocage]

always

[wtt0315]

Biggest for me was turning a 100 dollar wu deposit at betjm into 9832 dollars. but of course hitting 8 k on video poker was biggest chunk of it.

[Cannon]

$2500 into 50K fading Chuck Luck for 3 months was a nice hit.

[SPECULATOR 13]

You are kidding right? Why didn't you cash out sooner? No book will pay you $34,000.

I was new to sportsbetting and didn't know better. And I took advice from someone I thought I could trust. Fifteen other people were robbed too. I also naively thought that $34,000 wasn't a lot of money.

Greek, Jamaica, WSEX, Bookmaker, Matchbook, Legendz, just to name a few that would pay much more than 34k.

I don't think $34,000 is alot either.

You are exactly right. I just realise now the book curious was playing is not A+. When I started playing I also started with $2000 at a D book (did not know about SBR ratings) but every time I won $1000 I was cashing out and I was doing that frequently so I wouldn't have to ask for a big check.

[Crayzee]

ive done it afew times with sports

the thing that helped me the most during these kinda runs was if bets
