Betting Marathon: From $60 to $1,800

[suzanne5223]

I like how you said this is about discipline, which is important based on what you're planning to do.
I will check this thread next month to see how far the result of stats is going to be but I will like to give you an advise which I hope you're mentally for whatever happen through the betting marathon you plan to start this month because this is one of the thing that could trigger addiction in some gambler when they lost at the range when the fund is huge so I will advice to always check your gambling psychology, and be sure you're ready to go before making any bet on this marathon.

Let us know when you failed to keep that target, because this is the part where most people that created similar topics failed to do, once the plan go against them they won't come back.

We can watch op try though, there's no harm In that. I like seeing from time to time gamblers create these kind of challenges because it helps to motivate those of us who also gambles that it's not impossible to have a defined target even if we know it's quite difficult. Ive tried something like this before but with a bigger bankroll. The problem is that it's gambling and I lost the money unfortunately. It's quite difficult to keep to your rules in gambling compared because ones you find your self losing too much you just lose hope on the target and want to risk it all. It's different from trading though and since the op didn't specify anything about trading, we should leave him be and watch how it goes..

Any experimentation in adjusting the profit targets in gambling would come into conflict with the mathematical advantage that the house enjoyed and could not be beaten. In certain instances, the mental stress on feeling a losing streak can cause the temptation to carelessly gamble trying to regain at first capital within the shortest time possible.

Having no probability control turns formal course of action into farfetched dream at the gambling table, which will rely on mere chance. The OP may hopefully attain his purpose and be calm whenever he makes bets on any game.

Indeed this is really is an ambitious goal since you are starting with an amount as small as $60 with the expectation of growing it to $1800...Well it is always a great to see challenges like this, just hoping that yours will be different than others who stopped halfway in updating us with their progress... Anyways since the major essence of this is to evaluate just how well you can go by sticking to rules and whatnots... It seems possible though, but fact is fact-- Gambling isn't predictable... Infact, it is built around uncertainty and so your expectations in gambling may not always translate into your reality... So your strategy could be a good one and yet one may still run into some bad run that's gambling 101...Anyways good luck to you, I would love to see how it all It all plays out, even though I still think that reaching that $1,800 may be somewhat unrealistic considering how luck based gambling outcomes are...

The starting point is September 1st, and the target milestones are:

September 1: $60 — Start
November 1: $120
January 1: $240
March 1: $480
May 1: $960
July 1: $1,800 — Final Goal

If I fail to reach the required bankroll at any of these milestones, the marathon will be considered finished.

Of course, I know that turning $60 into $1,800 is a very ambitious goal. The main purpose of this challenge is to see how far I can actually get while sticking to my rules and maintaining proper bankroll discipline.

Achieving such amount with an ordinary $60 deposit on your casino account makes it look a bit unrealistic, because there is a high tendency that you will lose more bets than you will win. And because of that, I think the only way you will be able to achieve such targets is by redepositing on your casino, even while you try to prevent much loses. Because inasmuch as this will be a parley bet,a single game that fails to play exactly how to predicted would have spoiled the whole slip, which is actually one of the disadvantages of parley bets. Unless if there are some specific games which you have at 80% changes of playing as prediction and eventually you were lucky enough to win more than you lose. That's the only time you can be sure of making profits of $1800 with a total wager of just  $60

For my bets, I chose GAMBA, mainly because I liked the fact that it provides a statistics section where I can track my weekly and monthly profit.

Gamba? Is that not simply a slang of gambling or does it mean something else I don't have knowledge about?
However, if you are trading with such a platform commonly because it has the feature that gives you the statistics of your week and monthly charts, that is a good one for the goal you are pursing but I will tell you for free that such criterias of choosing a platform is incomplete without considering its provability and reputations.

I don't want to flood the forum with daily updates, so I decided to post my results once a month instead.

You can also consider how boring the post will be if you have to update monthly. Remember it is a personal goal gambling thread so audience would require regular updates for keep the thread fun.

[Miles2006]

The challenge indeed is a healthy one considering the rules, I hope op keeps up with the rule viewing this rule might actually safeguard emotions when followed. I don’t like the fact this pattern seems forced, so if op don’t get the stated amount within the space of 11 month what’s next? I’m always curious to know the next move maybe an update if the challenge will be extended only when op don’t give up but, gambling in such manner when waiting for a timely win by regular monitoring can be tiring, I wish op all the best.

That's my area of concern, monthly updates, it's kinda look later and brings boredom. People might even lose interest in following or keeping track with him. Since he actually brought the idea of his personal new found gambling pursuit to the forum for us to follow up and see how it goes, and also to keep us busy with his predictions and the deadline he has set for himself within months, then it will only be right he updates us each time he places a bet and how the bet went, either win or loss, by this, the audience can easily subtract or add funds quickly and know what's going on with the best and his proposed gambling run. We would like you be updated always. Am adding voice to those who already pointed this out earlier, pls give us a weekly update.

That’s exactly the point. Most of the times that gamblers end up messing up, especially during challenges like this, they do so, not because there aren’t some solid laid out rules and plans to keep them safe during the challenge, but they do so because they lack the discipline and self control to stick to the very rules they set by/for themselves. So that’s why it’s crucial to maintain a great deal of discipline and self control if you must see to the end of this kind of challenges.

That’s where discipline in bankroll management really comes in. We may think it’s easy because we already have a plan, but if OP is only betting 2% of the bankroll each time, that can become boring in the long run.

Without discipline, it’s easy to get tempted to increase the bet size or chase losses, and once that happens, the whole system can fall apart.

Yeah, and this worst part of this is that even if you’re merely just doing this solely for fun, you can still lose control at some point, just like you said, following such rule, I mean gambling with only 2% everyday can get boring at some point, and if one isn’t careful, they’ll take the bite and go for decide to increase their stakes and this can destroy the whole plan and mess up everything.

Keeping up with the rules to play rollovers safely takes a lot of discipline, I remember the times that I planned on doing rollovers but at some point I got swayed off my target due to the fact that I became impatient. I don't think op's strategy is forced in any way because it doesn't really look like he is chasing the market, this is a carefully planned out rollover and he clearly followed the rule of risk management but we all know that gambling cannot be totally risk free, playing only once In a month reduces the risks and increases the chances of making profits but it is still not guaranteed.

The momemt bankroll management starting getting boring, then the player should be careful because it is greed that is trying to set in. A player that means business will not be tired of following a system that works because the most important thing is making profits. Since gambling is so designed that protecting the equity is the hardest task, then discipline is not somethkng that should be treated casually.

To keep the marathon from dragging on forever, I’ve set myself a simple target:

Congratulations, even though I'm not a betting person i found this initiative of yours very beautiful
although, let's remind everyone that gambling is not a job
It's just a challenge and it's okay, so it's just a way to have fun
but it's very difficult to win, just say it clearly and don't make people dream too much.

[Bright0515]

Op i have seen a lot of strategies but yours is unique, although this doesn't really eliminate the risks that comes with it, rollovers are like time bombs, they can go off at anytime. personally I don't really like the idea of betting on a game and also continuing to use both the stake and the profits that i made previously to bet on another game, i don't see this as a strategy that's risk management friendly. But I hope you succeed, the end of the rollover is a long time from now and a lot of us here on the forum cannot wait to see the progress at the end of it.

I don't want to be negative in this but I think the congratulations is better when he has reached the destination which is moving from $60 to the target of $1,800, this will make him not to celebrate too early. I was hoping to see update from the OP so that we can know where he stand now to also motivate people who might consider joining him in such adventure. We can also check if he has abandoned this mission and advise ourselves accordingly because sometimes consecutive losses can make someone abandon his process.

[retreat]

As far as I remember, there was also someone who did a challenge like this, but I don't know the update of his challenge, either he forgot about it or he was less active so the thread was buried. But maybe you are different, maybe you are more motivated to do your challenge, especially when many people support you, I just hope that you don't disappoint people here by ignoring your thread when you lose miserably lol. But good luck to you.

I think OP needs to be very patient to complete this challenge, if he loses patience he will not be successful in completing the long-term betting challenge, he will have no choice but to stop the challenge midway, so he has to betting with discipline and patience. There is no right strategy to win money through gambling, there is always a risk of losing money. The results of gambling are completely unpredictable so with proper research and good luck there is a possibility of reaching your goal through gambling. It is never possible to be sure that you will win money through gambling.

An ambitious journey, but not impossible. I hope you achieve your goal. 

Do you plan to stay within the $60 limit or, as you win, increase your budget as well? Considering the initial bets, if you win, the winnings will be practically pennies, but if you keep winning, the 2% in daily bets could yield more.

Staying within the $60 limit is a good idea even though he ends up profiting from his plan, there's no guarantee that he is going to make profit from the next attempt, that's the reason why it is important for him to continue staking the same amount instead of increasing after winning because you cannot actually tell when losses will start coming in, staying within that same amount would be much safer. Just as you stated it is not possible but the chances of achieving this is quite low due to the nature of what betting is all about.

Due to the nature of the game it is difficult to achieve this because, it is not really easy to maintain a winning break streak . The main point of this is that keeping up with a rollover is something that a lot of people run from especially when it posted on the forum prior to when the bet kicks off, A lot of times these type of bettors are the ones that goes silent when they start incurring losses.
