key to long term success is taking it ONE DAY at a time.

set goals, for me, I try to win about $50 per day, which over the course of a month turns out to be a big chunk of extra income. (to a college student anyway)

I did $2250 profit my first month, starting from $150, now for my second month, starting from $2k, I hope to do another 2-3k.

By year end, hopefully up somewhere around 30k or so, should help pay off a lot of bills. All by winning $50-100 per day.

Paso a Paso

Wow. Nittany, im a GRAD student so I need some money as well hahaha. My goal is to make 2 grand for this tourney and im going to Vegas for the final four cause a buddy of mine's sisters bday is that weekend. Can't wait till Thursday!!! But im kinda nervous as well....

I will post my plays but most will probably be chalk. Atleast in the opening rounds. Even if it is a 5 team ML parlay of the big fav's you can still win a chunk of change ya know?

A ML parlay of: Kansas, Tennessee, Georgetown, Ohio State, Cuse, Pitt, K. State, Kentucky, WVU, Duke, Baylor and Nova is looking good right now...

Tennessee is the only one that probably scares me but they may have a chip on their shoulder being a 6 seed....

not bad, one of my best runs was back when i was a young gambler tossin coins n bad money management lol

i was with $5.35 lol, n i reached $431 in one week, lotta double downs, unreal run, thought i was on top of the world, hit somethin like over 90% in over 25 games  

n we all know what happens when u get a big head and dont stay humble, think i lost most of that in the next week.
