Follow my turmoils as I try to make $20 into a million billion.

I use centrebet.com as it has the best returns, and a B-pay option

I have just over $20 occupied atm, after my previous returns (I already bet the $20 on some games, and just rebet the return on some other games).
If you see that I'm making good pics, feel free to follow on.

Too bad about the Tri-nation game, don't know much about the college football

Accepted Tri Nations Test - AUSTRALIA v NEW ZEALAND - Head To Head - AUSTRALIA Line -16.5 1.90 3.00 5.70

Lost I actually wanted to give NZ a +16.5 handicap, but me being retarded picked the wrong one by accident. Really really really stupid mistake.
Oh well, hopefully I'll make up for it.

1st try: $20 ----> $20.88 (had a $17 bet come back to me, as the tennis player I bet on pulled out)
2nd try: $20.88 ----> $17.88 (with 6 results yet to come)

Neither do I

but many of them seem to have decent returns if you bet larger amounts of $ on the favourites.

 

[bazookajoe]

If UCLA are favourites then that is a very good payout

This bet's safety is looking pretty bad right about now.
They've had some reeeeeally high scoring losses recently.

 

[Atticus.]

we tried this in year 12 and lost all our money after two weeks

If UCLA are favourites then that is a very good payout

UCLA are undefeated and they have played very high caliber opponents.

 

[Bookie]

Dont bet on UCLA when u have no idea about it.

Stick to the footy and the horses.

 

[stazi]

Washington State are recovering after a poor loss to Stanford.
UCLA have a very high chance of coming away with this one.

Now horses I know nothing about

Put ya money on Leica Falcon for the Cup. He's [she?] a sure fire winner.

Well you lose. Winner was Railings who stole the win at the final moment from Mummify. Horses are hard to predict, there are just too many competitors at the one time unlike 50-50 sports. Either way, gambling is bad.

 

[bscienceboi]

he's talking about melbourne cup not caufield.

My comment about betting on horses still stands.

 

[stazi]

My comment about betting on horses still stands.

not if you bet on <8 horse races, with only 2 favourites, just on the placing bet.

 

[ledzeppelin]

You shouldn't bet on the big horse races, because they are all the best horses
You're better off betting on the Wednesday arvo races at Wagga or something like that

 

[stazi]

With this round of betting done, luckily I'm in the positive. Unfortunatelly a few results didn't go my way. Namely my accidental bet on Australia -16.5 for the NLR test match. Also, a college upset saw another $3 go down the drain with:
OREGON STATE 23 - 14 over California.

As I'm typing this, there are only a few minutes left in the game b/w FLORIDA STATE at VIRGINIA. I tipped florida. Florida were down by a shitload of points, but have scored 11 unanswered this quarter. There are currently only 5 points in it.

EDIT: damn Florida conceded a penalty and a first down With no time outs left this isn't looking too good.
DOUBLE EDIT: 50 seconds left. Florida have the ball back on their 26. No time outs. However there is still a miniscule chance. Oh wait, the pass was intercepted


FINAL RESULTS:

1st try: $20 ----> $20.88
2nd try: $20.88 ---> $21.20

some pretty mediocre gains unfortunatelly. But luckily still on the positive side.

 

[stazi]

Ok, I just put in $5 in on the horses.
So far $5--->$12.10
Very happy

Also, put some $ on the WNBL and another college football game (low returns, but tied up $10 in all, so should get a buck or more back extra)

 

[stazi]

haha, do you do safe bets? or do you take a punt more.
I mostly just bet on the favourite to place in races with 10 or less horses (with 1,2,3 place results)

My grandfather lives for horses. He lives off betting on horses. Needless to say, he lives quite well.

If you wanna tip I'll get one for you.
