The Ultimate Gambling Rush (1st inning wagers) Not for the weak of heart

Journeyman · Sep 16, 2004

I had 4 of these first inning wagers going all at once ( all bet that there would be no score) and it was the most intense 10 minutes of wagering in my life

I think I now know what it must be like to try Crack Cocaine.... NEVER AGAIN!

And I won 3 of 4, it was just too damn intense for me

frantically hitting refresh , hopping from game to game

Does anyone regularly bet these 'suicide one inning wonders'

I wasn't betting grocery money either

I played many of these last year & they do get intense. You can develop trends as well with these and get to a point where you really have an edge. I have not taken the time to develop fully, but likely will someday.

there are only 2 day games...

I came back last night and played another first inning wager on ARI/COL with Johnson and Estes going..... I figure all I have to do is have Estes throw a scoreless first against the weak hitting Diamondbacks , and as I figured Johnson goes out and blanks Colorado 1-2-3...Colorado sat down lefty Helton vs The Unit...So the weak hitting D-Backs come up , I looked over theie (ARI) minor league hitters...not a one in the bunch with any pop, WRONG first guy (3 lifetime homers) goes YARD and I lose!

Officially never playing another first inning play...just too stressful....it was like sudden death seeing that '1' in the first when I refreshed the screen ...I wasn't expecting a HR from any of those D-Backs lol

Who offers these? Olympic? CRIS? I have never noticed these anywhere.

what books have these wagers?

RobFunk · Sep 16, 2004

yes i like these a lot also. when i had a bad beat on one thats when i started the "most violent thing you have done after losing a bet" thread. but they are a lot of fun.

Suicide one inning wagering

FatTony · Sep 17, 2004

That bet is nothing.

Action bets are the crack for gamblers. Nothing like a basketball player nailing a three and have it mean three hundred for you.

Had the Suns in a playoff game that won by 30 over the Nuggets years back. Nothing like it when your team shuts out the other team for the last 5 min of the game and every point is a $100.

I agree with unabomber. I rarely play anything but action points. fastest bet ive had was opening KO return yards in a game last year. Spent a couple of hours working out the stats and had + £20 a yard at 22. Landed right on 22

There is an array of fingers in the socket bets on sporting index .com and for extra buzz, listen on the radio only

I'm making $ on these. stay away. Or better yet, bet the favorite. Yeah thats it, you guys just hammer the favorite and I'll be happy.

kidslick · Sep 18, 2004

i have done very well with these last year during the playoffs...very well.

sherman · Sep 18, 2004

doug J has it correct
Can also watch pitch by pitch placement on cbs

postaldoug · Sep 18, 2004

Assassin: Thanks for kind words. Usually CBS is fine. When watching an MLB game (on TV) they ( CBS) usually have it right within 20 seconds. vs. the TV. I've enountered problems in the past, esp. basketball, where the live score seems to "lock-up", then I go to ESPN, but I prefer CBS. J-man ain't no fool.
