    Thumbs up Bookmaker Sportsbook: SBRforum poster wins $139,756 parlay

    Bookmaker Sportsbook: SBRforum poster wins $139,756 parlay

    An SBRforum poster has won a life-changing parlay at Bookmaker Sportsbook (SBR rating A+). The SBRforum poster has agreed to an interview with SBR to discuss his ten team, $139,756 parlay win. The lucky player is also the subject of a celebratory Bookmaker.com press release.

    SBR
    : Congratulations on your 10-team parlay win! Can you tell us a little bit about what your state of mind was when you made the parlay? Was this a normal bet for you, did you place straight wagers on any of the teams straight up? Were you "chasing" as they call it when making this wager?

    Winning poster:
    I do lots of parlays for fun. I do straight bets as well when I find value. I was actually confident about most of the picks in the parlay. I think only one game was close out of those 10 picks. Rest of the 9 picks won pretty comfortably. So, I wasn't doing a lot of sweating in these games.

    SBR: That's certainly brazen of you. I've got to ask since we're all curious here, what do you plan to do with the winnings? Any definite plans already?


    Winning poster:
    I am planning to donate part of the winnings to Japan Earth Quake Relief. They need all of our help now. Besides that, I want to pay off my education loans. The rest, I am planning to invest in some stocks / ventures.

    SBR: What were you thinking watching the games? How badly were you sweating on the last pick?


    Winning poster:
    I wasn't worried too much about the parlay to be frank. If this parlay lost, I can make another parlay...that was my thinking . As I mentioned earlier, most of my picks won comfortably. So, I didnt have to sweat most of my games. I was also confident with most of the picks I made.

    SBR: Did you hedge out of this parlay at all?


    Winning poster:
    Yes. I did hedge my last leg. I had Pacers ML in my parlay against the nets. I hedged by taking Nets ML for 5k. But I didn't hedge in any of the remaining 9 legs.

    SBR: Are there any more 10-team parlays in your future, will your betting strategy change at all in light of the bankroll freedom a win this big surely must provide?


    Winning poster:
    Yes. I will continue to do parlays. They are lots of fun with big payouts . Yes, they are tough to hit....but when you do hit, it feels great . Of course, I will be making lot of straight bets as well. But I pick my spots with those. I am looking forward to NBA playoffs this year. Its always profitable .

    SBR: Are there any fellow SBRforum posters who know about this awesome score? Do you talk to or tail any posters on a regular basis?


    Winning poster:
    No, I dont think I have mentioned about my winnings to anybody here in SBR. I am not a show-off. There are many sharp posters here in SBR who win much more than I do. So, I dont boast about my winnings. In terms of whom I tail, I used to follow (SBRforum poster) Lakerboy. But he is not posting much this year. I do check out some of the leans by (SBRforum poster) No Coin. But generally, I cap my own games. I do however check out some of the leans by posters. There are always people who have meaningful insights here .

    SBR: Thanks for taking the time to chat with us today. I have just one last question for you, do you plan on renewing your SBR Pro membership next year?


    Winning poster
    : Of course. I will be a SBR Pro forever. I love SBR.

    was it a bunch of ML's or on the spread? Also how much did he risk?

    That's awesome. Also good for him that he hit it at a book like Bookmaker where he won't have to worry about not being paid.

    great. good for you. i don't like BOOKMAKER. but a big hit like that - you want to hit at a place that will pay you, like BOOKMAKER. imagine if the big win was at EZ. i'm sure they would come up reason not to pay.

    $500 10-team parlay?

    No way. If each of the 10 legs were -110, you're talking about a $220 parlay (give or take) to pull $140K

    I echo that--Great win. Thank God this was at a Cris Book. EZ would be denying payment due to syndicate play--relying on opinions of other bettors for some of the legs of the par.

    Thanks boys

    Appreciate all the kind remarks



    I can't hit a parlay for $139 let alone $139k!
