I think this is a cool little story here..

On Friday night I had .57 cents left in my Olympic account thats right $0.57. Most people would just let the book keep the spare change and let it sit there forever and that is basically what I was going to do. But then I decided to see if I could make something with it.

So this is what I did...

I went to play Jacks or Better where the min wager is 0.25 cents and press my luck. I don't remember exactly what happened but I do know I got my balance up to $1.07 by hitting 3 of a kind (2-2-2).. So after that I decide to try my luck with the blackjack table,with the $1.07.. I played and got my balance up to $5.07 exactly enough to make a sports wager because the min wager @ OLY is $5.. So I decide to let the $5 bucks ride.

So on Sat morn I wagered $5.07 on UCLA to make $4.61, UCLA covered so now I have $9.68 in the account.. With the $9.68 I wagered on MTSU Choptalks Sunbelt play, they covered so now my account reads $18.48. I then told myself screw it let's see if I could make a quick $10 so I went back to the Casino blackjack table and said I would play one hand of blackjack for $10, luckily I won so now I have $28.48 WHEW-HOO!!!

LOL... So Sunday comes around so I decided to put the $28 on the NY Jets cause ACE-ACE and my dad loved it, I already had $150 on them with another book but I wanted to put a little more cause my dad said this is one of his best bets of all time and had $300 on them himself which is HUGE for him so I decided to let it ride on the Jets, they covered so now I have $54.37 in the account.. So now, I decide not to bet it all and just put $45 on the Indy ML @ -450 they won so now my balance reads $64.37..

So with the $64.37 I decide to wager on the baseball game Game 2 of the World Series. I put $50 on Under at -125 to win $40.. Well the score was 3-1 and I won again!!!

Turned $0.57 cents into $104.37 :party:

Not a life changing score but not bad nonetheless IMO.. Just thought I would share this little story with you guys. Thanks for reading...

I would cash out the $100 just for principle if that happened to me. I would then head to my favorite bar and get smashed and buy some drinks for everyone. Then, I would hit on some girl to try to turn that 50cents into banging some stupid whore all night.

Great story, Gyno. An even better title as that caught my eye to check this thread out from the main page of the forum.

Would you try for a new challenge to go from $104.37 to $1K? :-D

I had 300 dollars left in one of my sportsbooks last year, so I decided to start doubling down. Pick and chose my spots till I reached 5 K. Then I started going back to units again. It definitely can be done although more times than not, you will lose it all.
Great job Gyno.

Love Woody's opinion. Withdraw that 0.57 cents this way you at the very least come out even.

You just inspired me to try to work on my $1.24 balance over there.

Great story.

Reminds me of the time I was in a poker tourney and lost an all-in on the 3rd hand. I was left with 15 chips when the starting stack was 2000.

There were 400 people in the tourney. I ended up finishing 8th.



Im glad my MTSU pick did not mess up your story.

Well im sad to say that I wont have a how I turned $1.24 into $100 thread.

I chose to hit the roulette wheel. Choose black and it hit red. I was down to .24 cents, so all I could afford was 1 spin on the slot machine. Did not hit. Now im down to 4cents, and dont have enough money for any min bets.
