That is the problem, when your bankroll grows, you turn conservative. I think I told you about the guy that did the "turning $100 into $1500" in a year thread. It worked... and he could probably replicate a similar system at least much of the time. But the issue is trying to turn that $1500 into $22,500, even though it is theoretically the same, definitely changes the psychology of it all (and the logistics, since a lot of books won't take a bet that big). But I like to do little side projects like that too, because I definitely do not rule out the possibility that there are people who figure some shit out.

    I shoot for a 100% return every year, +50u, but really, I don't see that happening very often. I think a more realistic goal is a 50%, +25u though... and even that is only possible because of my 50u bankroll. When my stack gets bigger, I will probably go back to a 100u bankroll, and then I will be looking at 25% growth, maybe up to 50% if I have a good year. Still, even if you get 20% annually, you are beating the shit out of any other investment in the world by a mile.

    I have to agree with scientist in 50% is the more realisitic goal. I've ran the numbers before on things and to get a 100% return on a good year I'd have to break it up into 2 sports (MMA/boxing and football) . Anything higher than 50% per sport is really over betting your bankroll imo and could end up being a disaster

    Yeah, I haven't been adding up (well subtracting) my spreadsheet in awhile but I am close to -20u I think. Once I tally up my spreadsheet I will update the sig, I've just been lazy/scared to look. There are some good fights to bet on coming up imo so hopefully I get things going.

    speaking of updating, Zak, you need to get on the ball updating the tracker. I am pumped to be out of the hole on the straight bets, almost there. I am in the hole a little extra because of my hedges against parlays, they are tallied as straight bets.

    I'd rather not have personal identifying stuff posted on the site, but you can ask Scientist to PM my pic to you if you want.

    Ashamed? No. But I'm not sure it's the best idea to have one's identity associated with quasi-legal activity on a public forum.
