Phase 1 - $2000 to $4000

Havent been around much the last few months but ready now to get back into the swing of things. A while back I started a thread about my hopes and dreams for the next 5 years betting sports, you can find that here : My Bankroll thoughts/plans/goals/dreams for the next 5 years



Anyways, to get to my final dream finish I have to start somewhere and today is that day.

I will be starting with a $2000 bankroll and my goal is to double the bankroll to $4000 and I will call this "Phase 1." The Phase will go until I double up to $4000 or lose it all and go bust and the Phase will either be a "success" or "failure." If I happen to succeed in Phase 1 I will most likely start over at Phase 2 with another $2000 with the same goal. If Phase 1 fails, depending on my financial situation at the time, I will either go directly into Phase 2 with another $2000 or take some time off to recoup and rebuild, basically just depends how it all were to go down if Phase 1 fails


I will be playing the Phases very aggressively, betting $200, or 10% of original bankroll, per play. I surely will not win every phase betting this aggressively, I know this, all my thoughts on bankroll aggression are explained in depth in the link I provided above.

Although I play aggressively I am very selective, I have only played 26 games so far since MLB started (26 plays in roughly 6 weeks). Contrary to the last sentence though, tomorrow I have 3, maybe even 5 plays, but this is very rare for me and usually I will have at most 2 in a day and most of the time only one or no plays.


I have much more to say, and will, in the upcoming days/months as time goes by but thats enough for now. Be back in a few with tomorrow's play(s)


Thx for reading, all Phase 1 plays will be in this thread

If the Heat lose tonight I would recommend adding more to the series price. Better odds and they won't lose in a 7 game series to the Bulls. GL Man!!

Thx a lot pal.

I actually considered betting the "exact series results" for the Heat to win in 4, 5, or 6 games and it woulda been approx -122 instead of the -185 cuz I just dont think this series will go 7, at least if the Heat win.

I considered it but couldnt pull the trigger so I just took them to win the series the regular way

Gl to ya pal

Thanks Man. IMO I think Heat win 4-1 or 4-2. Don't see this going 7.
