Hey all,

I have about $1000 to bet with. Normally, MLB and NCAA fb are my seasons. I know nothing more than minimal about NCAA BB, NBA, and NHL. Do you guys have any thoughts? Initially, my thoughts were to martingale (aggressively) some capper on this board. All opinions and thoughts are welcome...minus those of course that encourage an ounce of weed, a 30 pack, an eight ball, and 2 strippers on a saturday night :103631605.

What is your goal ?

Do want to turn it into 5-10k in a week, not caring if you lose it ?

I'd love to turn that into 5-10k, but I would care if I lost it. It's not rent money but $1000 at my age still stings a bit. Anybody planning on going on a 10-0 run?

I'd call it aggressive to attempt to double it in a couple of weeks with $100 bets, you'd need a nice run to do that.

$20-50 bets over a long haul is still aggressive.

Martingale suggests you are willing to bet it all, and repeat going "all in"

I was thinking more along the lines of trying to win $50. If I lose, trying to win $100, etc. Obviously, there's serious limitations to that for my bankroll.

leaving them seperate will provide protection if 1 misses, but if they both hit, u have for all intensive purposes doubled up in a night

If you have $1,000 and bet essentially $500 a game, you don't care about that dime, IMO.

You can do it, but I think you need to define a goal.... like double,triple it, and cash out, or lose it.

$50-100 working a dime is very aggressive.

Risk of ruin must be taken into account, realistically $20 bets are called for, if you want to last, and grind out a profit picking at like 55%, with just a dime.

Bradley is a square play and most likely a loser. Do not play that. people playing that game might win here and there but know nothing about basketball in the MVC

So you bet 55 to win 50, and lose....

-55

next bet is about:

165 to win 150 ?

I don't like this strategy !

If you "weight" ( bet more on some bets than others), do it for better reasons, than that, IMO !

How did this bet become worth 3X of the last one ?

Most systems fail, this 16%+ of BR bet is not justified, even the guy you're following isn't playing it that strong.

In short, you're overbetting ( to start off with), then compounding it, with the next bet.

Can you make the next bet ?

re-think what you are attempting doing here, man !

I don't like this, at all.
