I have been busy capping today/tonight's games and forgot all about this again.

The Goal - Make Money. It doesn't matter what your win % is or anything else. All you should be concerned about is how much money are you making from this.

Basic Rules - Starting Bankroll $10,000

You can make any type of bet you like except Live In-Game Wagers.

You must post the following when you make your picks:

1. Team you're wagering on.
2. The odds you made the wager at.
3. The amount you wagered.
4. The amount you win on the wager.

IE.  Minnesota Twins +125  $100 to win $125

I don't have time to check everyone's math, so we will go on the honor system. Keep track of your own math.

We will address any questions or concerns on the fly.

Have fun and make money. Good Luck

First let me say that I think this challenge of playing with a fake bankroll is pointless and this thread is gonna become an absolute cluster#uck. But I haven't posted here since MLB, and I'm bored, and who knows, it could be fun.

I have been doing an NBA road system from the Rx since the first of the year that has been doing very well. ERBATIZ has posted this system on this site. You fade a team each half on their last 3 games of a road trip, up to 6 plays. I would never, ever chase 6 plays on a martingale system. So I have been doing is playing this with 2 labby lines. I play my 1st halves on my (A)line and 2nd halves on a (B) line. 1 unit will be 1% of my bankroll.

Bankroll $10,000

(A)50-50-50-50

NY 1H +3 (-110)  Risk 110 to win 100

Chi 1H -5 (-110)  Risk 110 to win 100

Dal 1H -1.5 (-110) Risk 110 to win 100

 
 Ark +3 (-105)  Risk 105 to win 100

Be back at the half of the NBA games if needed.

BOL to everyone!

I couldn't agree more, LoL, but when I posted this one night when I was completely blitzed out of my mind I had something else in mind here. Then the next day there was a big response to it so I just said screw it, this could be fun too. It definitely will be a "clusterf*ck" but I will do up a nice spreadsheet for this after a bit once we determine who is going to regularly post.

Who knows what could become of this? I think it's already fun seeing the different picks and styles people are using.

I like your System, I remember seeing this posted earlier but don't remember it being around lately. Good Luck

Not sure why you played dallas? If you got the plays from where ERBATIZ posted it, it wasn't listed on the schedule. If you got it from the creator of the system at the RX, his rules state- Any series that starts before the christmas break must conclude by dec. 22 or it is a no play. The Dallas series went into the Christmas break, so it shouldn't have been played.
