Seven in a row is a pretty tough sell. Even a good sports bettor is 55% (or better). You’d also be better off saving up a little cash and starting with a bigger bankroll than $50. Start off with $100 at least. Bet no more than $20 on games until you reach, say $250. Then increase your max bet to $35 or so. When you get to $500, pay yourself $100, then keep going so your bankroll for betting is a decent chunk to where you can be betting about a hunskie on each play. Then start paying yourself more regularly.

Winning at sports betting is not only about picking the right plays. Don’t bet more on games just because you are on a hot streak, because that’s a quick way to lose a bunch when you come off it.

7 in a row is a tall order to be sure. No matter how you slice it, or whatever system you use, it’ll be a long shot.

Here is a fun way to go about it, though. There are many stories out there about how folks have done this and succeeded.

Get 7 people together – you and 6 friends. Each of you puts up 50 bucks. Draw 7 numbers out of a hat, 1 through 7.

Whoever draws #1 makes the first bet. S/he bets the whole $350 on any even-money team they want. S/he should be discouraged from picking favorite teams just because they like to root for them; and they should be encouraged to do a little homework on finding a good pick.

Continue week after week like this until you either go bust or you hit 7 in a row!

(One problem with this – it’ll be hard outside of Vegas to find someone to take the last couple bets unless you know some big-time bookies. The payout on the 7th bet, figuring on about 10% juice, is over $31,000!)

Rather than bet 7 times like you are suggesting, spend that first 50 on a parlay, which is a string of bets. If you make all the right picks, you can win a good chunk. A buddy of mine bet a $20 parlay on NCAA Football games last season and cleared something close to $3000 on that one bet. Bet NCAA Football, but stay away from teams you have attachment to because it will skew your betting. Look at the numbers and make educated decisions. Phil Steele's College Football Preview comes out soon. Pick up a copy, read through, study it. Make picks now. Some might need to be adjusted for factors later on, but you never want to get caught up in the moment and start following what everyone else is doing.

sports betting……..?
i was wondering if anyone knows any good methods, types of sports to bet on, or experts on sports betting… because i was thinking if i can start out with a $50 bet, win, then bet the whole $100 (minus a little for juice), win, then bet the whole $200, win, etc…7 times, that would get me approximately $5000-$6000. i have done some betting, and my overall betting career is about even, and i know that for even the best betters, 7 in a row is huge. i kindof know what to look for when i research a bet. but i was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this, strategies, tips, etc, stories about your own successes and failures in betting. thanks!
