I made a recent Survivor thread in the past week here. I originally came up with a plan to try to go from $1 to $1,000 by winning 12 in a row, basically with pre-established prices that'd allow me to reach that goal.
The first $1 attempts (only 5 were done) were part of a very interesting experience, but it had the makings of something that'd take forever to do.
With feedback from RX'ers, I realized going for $5 per attempt to reach $1,000 by winning 8 in a row was both more manageable & more exciting for people to follow along.
I still feel that I can reach $1K by winning 8 in a row between 10-20 attempts (costing me $50 to $100 in the process). So I'll be aiming to do this as many as possible & hoping to have some people joining in to win money as well.
Here is the updated snapshot of the $5 attempt:

This is a completely different approach from my wonderful money management program, but it kinds of practice money management in the sense that you are only risking your ORIGINAL $5.00 during any streak attempt.
I already have a pick in mind for Bet #1 of Attempt A tonight.
Attempt A, Bet #1:
Bodog
Detroit +153
Risked $5.00 to win $7.65
