Let me first start this thread by clarifying a few things:
1) I am a firm believer in guarding your bankroll like a lifeline and I take sports handicapping very seriously.
2) This is not the martingale system as I will never chase money and if i lose (which is mathematically likely) I will stop this attempt and not try it again for a while.
3) I understand that money won is yours and should be treated as such and added to the bankroll.
But I was perusing through my records this evening and found it amazing the streaks that I have gone through. Both good and bad. I do handicap around 59.8 % through the NBA season so far, but I have seen deviations that are both scary and great at the same time. Everyone goes on streaks of the both good and bad kind and that is gambling. As long as I stay near 60 percent and gamble within my units I know I am winning.
But, I thought that since I found a spare $100 lying around the other day (not really), I thought I would try and hit 7 in a row and turn it into 10k.
Statistically, with a 10,500 bankroll if you started with 100 and tried doubling it 7 fold, you should be able to do it 1 in every 36 attempts if my math is correct and you cap games at 60%. Standard deviation makes this an impossible system to use though, but maybe I will get lucky. Maybe you can use this to fade me. Who cares, but anyway, I'm gonna post it. I'm still going to bet other games like I normally do in a unit system, but the game I like best each day(if I do like one strong enough) I will put toward this quest.
Day #1 was Boston +6.5 (played overnight) W 100/90.91=$190.91
(no I didn't post it, but I did bet it with this attempt in mind)
Day #2 Washington +9 (played overnight) W
190.91/173.55=$364.46
