Question is what are the overall odds of winning a series length of 5 which is what seems to be default? If I lose 5 games then I lose 157.97? but if I win each game I make only $25 ($5 x 5 days) on the normal series! this assumes I bet $5.00 only! that's without taking into considering that some games you need to bet MORE than your $5 unit to double. like today on the run line, I needed to bet $7.00 to make $5.00.

That is correct... So, Let's say you are a flat better. According to their record for flat betting, that means that you don't double or triple up, you just flat bet $100 (To Win) per day...


"Won: 42 Lost: 28"  <-- 5Lines.NET Record.


This means that you will have a total of 14 games that you won.. That's $1,400 and no doubling up, but then you take into account the cost of the bet. Most of them are -110 wich is 10% if your bet size, and others are a little more, so, really, you might make about $900 or $1,000 after that cost.

I plugged in $100 on the unit size and 5Lines is telling me my next Flat Series amount is calculated to be: 200 ?

Hey why don't we talk about something I think is very important now that I've bought a subscription: SERIES LENGTH.

If my unit is set at $5 I need a minimum recommended bankroll of 157.97 according to the site. If I adjust my series length I see that my recommended bankroll changes based on that. Question is what are the overall odds of winning a series length of 5 which is what seems to be default?

Reminds me of Blackjack, where in theory, odds are always in favor of the house because no one has a bankroll large enough to beat the house, and even if they did, there is a limit in Blackjack so you cannot win your money back!

Well this looked like too much fun to pass up. I decided to purchased a subscription.

I'll wait till 5Lines activates my account till I can begin investigating how this works..

Also opened an account on sportsbook.com after searching for a while. They looked the most decent and trustworthy and easiest to start with. Deposited $50 there with $5 bonus... so that's setup.

Can anyone give me any advice at this point? Like what games am I going to be betting on? what do I need to be careful of? etc. I want to avoid newb mistakes if possible.

I need a quick run down on how to use this. I'm not a sports fan unfortunately and have never actually gambled on sports a result. Offering some BTC's if Einewton or RageCores can help me!
