Ravens won! Nice pay out for those that bet on the Ravens!

That would be me... I went either way on that game because it was a tight one. One way paid off huge, the other reduced the overall loss as the either way bet was equal.

So with $10k either way, I was either winning $50k - $20 original investment = $30k profit OR winning the other at 1.25, $20k original investment ($10 either way) was going to return me $12.5k, thus lowering my overall investment loss from $20k to $7.5k loss.

Tight game... had to risk winning the big one and lowering my loss with the other by doing an equal split.

Huge payout week of winners. I went pretty hard this week, some really high risk bets, and then even wagered winnings from a prior game on other games before they closed... and that really paid off big time doing it that way this week. I went from about $220k total worth to now nearly $700 worth, and still one game to go, some investments and other long-term bets laid on some futures outcomes, such as the F1 winner and NFL winner. Impressive weeks performance that can just as easily go the other way next week if bets go bad. Happy & nervous for next week.

The play-offs are going to be hard games to pick IMHO... usually the case with the best of the season playing off.[DOUBLEPOST=1356315051][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh... and I got my $150k trophy bonus for exceeding $350k total points. Now for the million mark!!!

How do you do that?

 

[Innordinate]

Okay, now that I have some decent money... I'm afraid to bet it off... lmao! You'd think with more money betting would be easier............ WRONG! :nailbiting:

 

[anthony]

How do you do that?

Earlier games winnings, once settled, I then wagered on the later games that were still open. It was more that I happened to be online when the games finished in order to settle them, then wager up on the few in the afternoon / evening. Timing more than anything. Unfortunately, I won't be online when these are played to do that with this weeks games.

Playoffs should be able to do this if they stagger them across the weekend / day.

2 minutes in the packers vs 49ers game. Packers already intercepted the ball and got a touchdown.

Then the 49ers get one.

Close game I think. Both teams are going to kick ass.

:nailbiting:

Can't believe Ravens just beat Broncos... glad I won two of the other outcomes in that game, only losing $40k instead of $50k.

Play-offs / finals are sooooo hard to pick IMHO... because both of them want it bad, more than normal games.

I can't believe it either. Thankfully I only lost $1000. I'm afraid to bet too much of my money, even if it's only virtual cash. :)

I completely forgot the Packers / 49ers game. I better go get my bets in for tomorrow's games before I forget.

 

[anthony]

Yer... I'm not too worried about risks with about $1.8m or thereabouts as my cash. I've won just over $1m which gave me obvious trophy upgrades, being the rest. Hopefully will win a lot more after Tennis... or have lost a whole bunch. One way or the other.

 

[timid_flower]

Well, I wouldn't be worried either with $1.8m. :)

I only have $22K. Maybe I will become a millionaire this week with Tennis. Then again, I may just lose it all. :nailbiting:

It's fun though.

The 49ers are really doing well. The quarterback is being very daring.
