Dad sort of inspired me to give this a shot, it's something I've always had in the back of my mind but never followed through on.
 
I'm going to start the chain with a $100 play, and double it up for as long as I can. 8 in a row gets you $25,600 (if I don't chicken out before that, would be really tough to throw $12,800 on a game). I'm going to do this on matchbook. Hell, I've hit 9 in a row twice to get my wagerline hats, why not take a chance at the lottery here? If I lose I'll start over for the duration of the season, and this is in addition to my regular plays.
 
Anybody here ever attempted this before?

That's what I'm saying - $25,600 sure beats the hell out of a hat.

I told them I'd only pay them $25,500 for it. They said that was OK

3rd, thats sounds like a hell of an idea...i have never really tried that, but hell if you have a buck laying around why not...i would probably chicken out if i won 5 or 6 in a row.
 
crazy buddy of mine used to that sort of thing at the blackjack table...he would start it at 10 a hand and i witnessed him get it all the way up to the nickel max a couple of different times...dude always ended up losing though

Love it 3rd...

 

When I go to the casino and play blackjack I do this.  I play mostly a quarter a hand... I can play for 45 mins or 8 hours but when the shoe gets hot I press em up.  I call it my "hit my home run".   In 4 hands 200 can give you 3200 then get the hell outta there.  Its kinda funny I call my buddy that usually goes with me and tell him I took em deep and he knows exactly what Im talking about.

 

9 games is tough...  5 or 6 can be done multiple times during the year. 

 

BOL

It will definitely be hard to keep pressing after getting 4 or 5 in a row, I don't know what I'll do if/when the time comes. It will be interesting to say the least, and should be fun to track. I should have done it last year - I tore up isolated games in the NFL (MNF, Sunday Night, etc) We'll see what happens.

It would take some large stones to make that last 12K play. As a dollar player I don't think I could do it.

I would probably be out after Game 5, just something about taking that money from the bookie........and I would hope I hit Game 5 on like a Thursday Night College game......and then not call again until Tuesday......that would really chap his ass, cause he would be expecting me to bet Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
 
 
I will be watching this system closely.

why not just double your bet after every 2 wins in a row that way you collect money on every win and when u bump up your bet it is with house money.  this is what we do with black jack that way when your cold you lose the minimum bet but when the hot streak hits your doubling your bet every 2 wins.  once u lose, start back over at 100.  its our pull then leave method which hits big from time to time.  just a suggestion and something i have always wanted to try on sports betting instead of just blackjack.  just hard if you want to bet multiple games at the same time.

with the limits on each play, are you gonna throw $2,200 or w/e on 5 different sites to reach the amounts you plan on betting? I just don't see why this is beneficial to your bankroll when you could just win each time you hit it and not put yourself out there...

This is a side quest in addition to my normal wagering. Just curious to see how far I can go with it.

No way man, Double up on your first 2 or 3 bets, then bet half, so 100 to 200, 200 to 400, 400 to 800, to 12, to 18 and so on, just inc ase you lose, you'll still be way up.  No way in hell will you wager 12800 on your last game,  You can but you shouldn't

Yes, this is separate from the real business.

Interesting move Doug. Getting it down online shouldn't be an issue, most books have high limits on NFL and I suspect MB would have good liquidity.

The hard part is the mental side of it. Once you get to 6 or more winners your nerves will play havoc with you.

Good luck mate

When I was going to Vegas alot I played this system. The biggest thing it did was helped you with money managment. You never had to think about your bet size. Automatically bet less when the deck is cold and more when its running hot.
