    One Play A Day for 5 Days ..

    I was wondering if it makes sense to do this. Start off with a $20 play or so and just keep rolling it over if I win . 5 picks , 5 winners in a row is would be the goal..

    $22/20 if win $42 to play
    $42/38 if win $80 to play
    $80/72 if win $152 to play
    $152/138 if win $290 to play
    then $290/$263 if win $553.

    What are my odds of going 5-0 ? This actually looks tempting because my rick overall will be only $22 anyway..Hmmm

    64 to 1. So over the long run if you tried this 64 times you would go 5-0 one time. Winning that $553 would cost you $1408 (22 X64 = 1408). IMO, Not a good ROI, but who knows you may go 5-0 the first time?

      very tough to do... IMO if you did try to go 5-0 it would be better to find the best 5 plays in a month, perhaps longer to find optimal spots. Even then it would be tough.....

                  I just did it based on if you think you have a 50/50 chance to win each bet:

                  1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/64

                  If you think you have a 55% chance to win each bet (which is probably what you should believe before betting a game) your chances of hitting 5 in a row would be slightly better.

                  Hope you hit it though. I'm happy when anyone takes the bookie's money no matter how they do it. :beerbang:
