ALL OR NOTHING: $100 into $1600-ish in 5 Wagers

[PurpleTwitch]

Hey guys,

Hope you all have some good winnings this week.

Anyways, I'm gonna piggy back on an idea poster Deying had last week where he would make four straight wagers, doubling up every time. He attempted to take $500 to 8Kish.

I am going to deposit at my favorite offshore book - BETDSI

$500

If I lose one time I BUST...

Obviously Juice will have a major role but it will be all baseball.

Goal
Wager 1 Risk $500 to Win ≈ $500
Wager 2 Risk ≈$1000 to Win ≈$1000
Wager 3 Risk ≈$2000 to Win ≈$2000
Wager 4 Risk ≈$4000 to ≈$8000

In that same thread another poster Bourn made the observation that five consecutive wagers was better but keep back the first win:

Hitting 5 consecutive plays is the way to go. Ive thought of doing this many times, but never pulled the trigger (yet). When i have thought of it i always had the idea of hitting your 1st play (lets say 510/500) then holding that back and start from there. So it would look something like this...

1st play 510/500 Take that initial win and sit on it. From here on out you aren't down anything. Then start based on -110 odd for example ....
2nd play 510/500
3rd play 1100/1000
4th play 2100/2000
5th play 4100/4000


If you lose anywhere after the 1st hit then you just start again. The key is to at least hit your 1st play.

Good Luck Defying. Will you be posting your plays in this thread?

Unfortunately Defying did not achieve what he was attempting. But, I still really liked Def's idea but will use Bourn's take on it. I am also no where near the level of some of you here. As such, I will start at $100 and attempt to take it to $1600-ish. I also wish to post my picks and hopefully winning results in here. Below is a rough estimate of my goal.

Wager 1 Risk: $100 to Win ≈ $100
Wager 1* Risk: ≈$100 to Win ≈$100
Wager 2* Risk: ≈$200 to Win ≈$200
Wager 3* Risk: ≈$400 to Win ≈$800
Wager 4* Risk: ≈$800 to Win ≈$1600

Once again I should reiterate I am not some great capper. Ive been mainly reading and following the other greats in here. I will post my first pick so I can keep track of it in here. I have an idea for who I am going in with first. I am typing all this out and will probably bust out after Risk 1...I'll just go back to copying Penny's picks.

Later.

Good luck, what is todays pick?

 

[KingEleven]

For sure keep us posted Purple and best of luck!

BC, I'm deciding after one of today's games who to take.

Also, I've kind of realized I get a mulligan of sorts on the unofficial second pick. I HAVE to WIN the first pick. If I get that, then I have two chances at the 2nd pick cuz if I lose I can use that FIRST $100 again. This is "cheating" the plan but whatever.

Houston is at Pittsburgh
There is a game tonight at 7:05 EST
Going into the game 'Burgh has lost 4 in a row
Going into the game Houston has won 4 in a row

I am feeling Pittsburgh...but I am going on the game WEDNESDAY. I am still debating this. I want to get it out of the way so want to lay it on the noon game tomorrow. I need to see how it plays out tonight.

 

[PurpleTwitch]

I feel I have made the correct decision.

I am going to go with:
SF $110.00 (1.909) to win $99.99

Bumgarner vs. Maeda

I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow morning most probably to see if I move on.

I was going to wait till the Wednesday noon game to even start this. I might actually restart this with the five teams I had penciled in if this game fails.*

*EDIT: Yes, I understand that isn't "all or nothing" then. lol.

gl purple

 

[PurpleTwitch]

Shit!

I should have never started with SF!

I'm gonna put 10 bucks on Pirates this noon and hopefully get it to $160 by end of the week. I know...weak.

Just sticking with the smart cappers here is the wise choice.

 

[blackchina]

You did $100 now $10?? Odd, monopoly money?

 

[PurpleTwitch]

Funny guy BC.

Yes...big drop. This is now to just get back the $100. haha

 

[blackchina]

and sorry im on houston but good luck

 

[blackchina]

i guess this guy will disappear

 

[MoMoneyNoProblem]

I want the last minute of my life back. What a waste.

 

[PurpleTwitch]

Yes, a complete waste. I suck.

 

[SherwoodBlount]

There is always tomorrow.

 

[alexnguyen]

Yes, a complete waste. I suck.

I'm sure you don't suck and can eventually get on the right path. I think the problem here is you created attention for yourself by setting this big stage and then didn't live up to the hype. If you would have hit your plays no doubt people would be in here rooting for you and taking your plays. I think you just need to tone it down a little and focus on picking winners without all the added drama. But what do I know I just lost $7k lol. Good luck to you if you decide to stay the course.
