Here's an idea Moosejaw...with the assumption that I understand the rules correctly (which may be a faulty assumption). Before I get into this, my opinion is that the number one goal should be capital preservation...so not losing your original deposit. Having said that.....

You need to risk 25% of your balance each week. Your bets need to be -150 or better. So here is the thought...though it does come with some risk (nothing is foolproof). I am using odds from Draftkings for purposes of this example.

The strategy is to bet a pair of 2 leg parlays involving a ML favorite and a total. The ML favorite will be the first leg in BOTH 2 leg parlays. The second leg will be an "over" for the first parlay...and the corresponding "under" on the second parlay. The total MUST be a number containing a half point (e.g. 42.5) NOT a whole number (e.g. 42), thereby avoiding a possible push. You will want to make certain that each parlay is for + money.

So...let's say you think Kansas City is likely to beat the Raiders on Friday. The ML is -700 on Draftkings. If you parlay the Chiefs with the 42.5 "under," your odds are now +108 (or a total with -110 odds from any other game).

Now do the same thing with the "over." Chiefs -700 and over 42.5 provides a second parlay at +108.

You can pick any ML favorite. If you did this with the Lions, the odds increase to about +130. You could pick a college football game, where the ML odds are generally better than the NFL for a corresponding point spread (reflecting higher variance). Similarly, you could pick a basketball game.

Your risk is that the Chiefs (or Lions, etc.) could lose...in which case you lose BOTH parlay bets. And this is certainly possible...since the Chiefs lost to the Raiders last year. Also, you will need to repeat the bet multiple times over many weeks...so there's additional risk that this blows up at some point.

You could also forgo the parlay altogether and just bet the "over" and the "under" from the same game (or both sides). Of course, if you do this...you will lose the vig. But depending on the size of the bonuses and the number of weeks you are talking about...this may actually be the best option. Losing a little bit of vig vs. collecting a large and profitable bonus.

I wish you the best of luck with whatever you do. Again, there is risk....which is my way of saying...don't blame me if it backfires!

You nailed my concern. I want to be able to withdraw as many thousands as I can over say a 10 week period.

So if we use 10k as an easy number:

First week must bet 2500 in wagers, and I break even, -1000.

9k next week, 2250 in wagers, and I break even, -1000.

8k next week, 2000 in wagers and so on etc....

This would be of course I don't blow it and make a dumb bet. I'm not dumb enough to think things can't take a turn.

I was contemplating doing 2 person parlay's in the UFC(or to your point any sport) a ML favorite, and the second spot betting both sides of the other person. Risk is if the ML favorite loses.

To lessen the chance, I do 10 plays instead of 2 plays with lesser bet amounts, whether that be with KC, Det, Balt with the over unders. Often time they don't let you play arbitrage betting both sides, but I think with a parlay and the chance a ML can actually lose it all...I should be safe in that type of strategy.

Another strategy I was thinking was doing say NHL bets on + money. So if there are 10 games on a slate, and I put 100 on every plus money, I could end up in the money or even. Even if I go 3-7, the 3 dogs at plus money will make up the loss or more.

It's just so much betting, and if I continue to win each week...ugh. It's just seemingly stressful after going on a good run.

What do you think about doing UFC matches that a 3 team parlays that end up in plus money, and doing that over and over. Just trying to break even?
