I am still going to be running my other quest for 25 units per month, but I am going to focus on this a lot more. These are plays that I really see hitting, but not always within a game, could be the next game. So, obviously I will be using the Martingale system for a select few plays, and I hope to be able to achieve a consistent $500 per week. Let's see if I can do this!

Starting Bankroll: $3000
Units are valued at $100 each

So with the other system you stopped after you hit +25 units.. how does that conflict with this? I.e. what if you hit 25 units in week 3, do you go for $500/week for the last 2 weeks of the month, or not?

No, I am just taking a little time off of that thread and trying out a new one here. I want to see if the method I am using now (this one) will be better off in the longer run. In the stable 25 units thread all I was really doing was adjusting my unit size and sometimes narrowing down the plays for each day. This one is a bit different and with way different money management. It is also more of a short-term thing, where I should be able to focus more on daily performance rather than doing a monthly thing where I have all month to pick winners and net the cash.

Okay, so what if you swept yesterday and made your 500 for the week? Do you stop (if so, you're leaving money on the table)? Do you keep going (if so, what's the point of talking about this 500/week thing)?

Yep, I was really close to a sweep, and there was LOTS of opportunities for the Mariners TT OVER and even more so for the game OVER. Lot of runners left on base by each team.

My goal is just to earn my $500 each week and then not have to do anything until the next week. I believe that if you get down to the nitty gritty, and focus on just a couple of days per week then you will do better in the long run compared to just picking every day. It may lose some profit each week, but I will be able to achieve my weekly goal each and every week and it will also save some profit when if I would have picked all week I may have ended the week down money. No use being greedy, just picking my spots and working on that weekly goal of profit.

Exactly, it is always good to be on the safe side of things, especially when it comes to sports betting!
