Wagerline survivor contest
 

http://www.wagerline.com/sportsconte...aderboard.aspx

Wagerline has a free contest where they give away $100,000 if you can pick 21 against the spread in a row. Someone is at #20 and is picking for the $100k. He has until 4/24 to pick.

What game would you pick prior to that data ATS?

My best streak is 5.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Sucks they limit the games you can pick, but I guess thats how they make it so damn hard keeping odds between like -130 to +130 or something. He should pick a random Arena Football game and let it ride!

Damn, that is ridiculous.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Forgot to mention I am on the Red Sox for my pick tomorrow. ffffffuuck!! A-Rod and the yanks!!

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

I imagine he would be hedging, no?

Unless he thinks wagerline might stiff him for the 100K

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Try to find at least a zero cent arb for sure.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

I have a streak of 4 going and I will pick the BoSox today against the skankees. A-rod's luck has run out.

Freightdog has not picked yet, but I would imagine that this weekend would provide enough choices.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

On further thought, it doesn't need to be an arb. Simply pick the team with the best odds of winning according to the market for the Wagerline contest and then hedge by betting the underdog. Should lock in over 50k of profit.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

odds this guys is currently scrambling to try and get enough money online to hedge this?

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Thats exactly what I was thinking...how the hell I would come up with like 50g's and get it online in time.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

to heck with getting it online, for 100k just go to vegas and hedge it there.

this is correct.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

God hates the skankees. My streak is now 5 in a row. Freightdog still has not picked.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

it looks like this guy might be letting it ride. his 21st is pending, he chose the under in the oakland baltimore game, instead of one of the moneylines which would have been best for hedging.

there's also a good chance he doesn't have 50K available so he's hedging a bit but still makes much more if his wagerline pick wins, and so he's going with what he thinks is the best choice instead of the biggest ML fav, but hopefully he's going for all or nothing.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

What do you think of that game? He picked the under 8.5

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

I know one thing...a ton of people are following him. 83% on the under earlier, but to 75% now. I dont have an opinion on it.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

at 6 in the bottom of the 8th....I wonder if it's gonna hold [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

guess he lost

now i'm curious if wagerline woulda paid if he won

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

I hope he hedged.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

he lost. He should have bet the mets.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest

he lost. He should have sold his picks while his streak was still alive

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

are there certain restrictions on games/bet types you can do? I mean...a total in baseball wouldn't exactly be the smartest of bets when you can win 100k imo.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

I just entered the contest...I had no idea it was free. Not really sure what wagerline.com is all about, seems like they are giving away a lot of free money. Also, looks like someone got the 21 in a row a few years ago. Hope I win!

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Another guy at 20 in a row

And he's made his pick for the cash - Phoenix -5

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

wow his pick is looking good.

According to him he didn't hedge either, sick.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

the guy won his 21st but magically the image on the Survivor Main page is now $10,000 to win. I wonder if this guy got the shaft and they changed the prize right before he won his 21st?

[/ QUOTE ]After someone wins in 2007, the prize drops down to 10k for the rest of the year. So he won the 100k, I'm not sure if they're reliable and he'll actually get it or not though. I guess only time will tell.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

Wagerline does the contests for the pub that it brings, plus, it gives novices a way to track bets. I have a pretty solid 55% win ratio, which is over a couple hundred events. Without playing the contests, I would not have any idea how my capping really is as I don't have the balls to actually bet much on sports. I don't like the lack of control in sports betting compared to poker. lol.

Re: Wagerline survivor contest
 

I read on FP's forum that the contest is sponsored by Bodog. So if you're ineligible to have an account with Bodog, Bodog won't pay you if you win (e.g. Canadians).
