Whoo hoo... just made back my prior losses + a few additional thousand. Up a little is better than down a whole lot... phew!

I should have trusted my prior instincts with that first game, and gone $50k both ways, hoping for the underdog and recovering some losses if the favourite won... with the 4:1 odds it had, it would have been well worth it.

Some big betting has paid off I must say... as innordinates would look something similar to mine:

Still about $1.2m invested in Tennis at present, though up overall compared to losses.

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

Do what Inn and myself did... pretty much go for all or nothing on low odds, near guaranteed winner games, then repeat the process with the winnings, and so forth. Anything that could even be too close, don't risk it... but outright smash em games.


There are a bunch of those in the tennis, pretty much 97% to win or better, though obviously the odds are low for payback as a result. Let me help you out:

Do upsets happen? Absolutely... but the odds are extremely rare, especially if you divide your funds across a few of those top players, accounting this is the first round, and the top 5 seeds getting knocked out at the first round is pretty much rare.

Whoo hoo.... just spread my earnings today over the above favourites. 10% return pretty much across the board...

Let me help you out

Thanks Anthony. I've placed my bets. I'm down to 4k, but hopefully I am on my way to that million. :D

I have yet to place my NFL bets for tomorrow's games. I am wanting to go with the Seahawks and Texans, so the odds are against me there. Then again, the Broncos did disappoint me today. I may just risk it.

Me too but I was too scared to bid all my $$$ :whistling:

 

[timid_flower]

I was too scared to bid all my $$$

I didn't have much to begin with. I kept biting my nails looking at the number go down every time I placed a bet.:laugh:

 

[anthony]

I like to spread the risk... seems to have worked thus far! Fingers and toes crossed here.

NFL Texans vs Patriots game is starting. Going to be a good game.

Husband is going for the Texans and I am going to the Patriots. I was for the Falcons earlier and I enjoyed laughing at him when the Falcons won.

 

[Nicolette]

I kept biting my nails looking at the number go down every time I placed a bet.

Timid_Flower we won first round!!! :D

 

[timid_flower]

we won first round!

Yay, I am so happy Nicolette!! :happy:

I'm glad I ended the day with some winnings. So nice to log in and see my $ amount up again. Hopefully the winning continues. ;)

 

[Nicolette]

I am officially broke....

 

[timid_flower]

Oh wow Nicolette!! :wideeyed:

I placed more bets with my winnings, but I am not brave enough to bid it all.
