Would be 2:1 for me bc we both know this isn't easy, one ds and it's bad news bears.

Ship your $100 to SA if you want to do it and it's booked.

Bet no longer valid for dhcg if he wants it. lol run bad today so you'd almost be a lock for it at this point.

To do this at the stakes you are planning, you really need to run hot. Can't afford any reall coolers. GL.

Went out tonight so not many games. Day was lol-bad. Bet pretty much is a stand still with me only being up rakeback. Tomorrow starts a huge grind...

GAMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

So I sat down after yesterday's downswong (bet was literally a push with me being up like $30 in rakeback) and developed a strategy of what would need to happen for my account to reach 5k by next Sunday night.

My plan was/is to bite the bullet and spam the $50reg, 55turbo, 78turbo lobbies... so yes we're talking 10bi or less that I'm playing these. I started only $50regspeed and built up a few bi's before I sat the two turbos mentioned. As any ST player will admit, playing these was like watching grass grow.

I won some money, and more importantly for myself, I showed my true discipline level by playing non-st games and patiently raking in the $$ (lol at br management discipline I know). I'm definitely in a positive mindset for the bet as opposed to yesterday when it looked like the potential poker apocalypse (for the bet only, i lost like $280 which was devastating given the br I started with).

I seriously won 13 regspeeds in a row though /brag


--Overall--
Account Balance Ledger:
Start: 500
Day 1: 742.60
Day 2: ??? I got so wasted I came back the next day and found "Real Life Quidditch" in my Google searchbar
Day 3.5: 1385.80 (with rakeback)

Thanks for the gl's, they came through so far

fail challenge thread imo, volume isn't anything impressive and it seems you just ignored b/roll management and hoped to upswing at the right time. Has no do or die vibe since I'm guessing you took out at least 5k with that most recent withdrawal, likely a bit more.
03-12-2012 , 09:15 AM
Well, it's also something that's not easy to copy for someone else, so he may actually see this as a real challenge for himself.

Fwiw., Motown is a good reg (or at least was pre-BF), so he has the skill that's required to beat all these different buy-in levels that he'll play at during this challenge - and he should also be tilt-resistant enough.

However, if someone with ~$500 life-time winnings tries to do the same thing, he'll have a much higher chance of failure - not only because the average low-stakes grinder doesn't have the skill to beat $50+, there's also a decent change he'll handle variance badly when session swings get into the range of what used to be his full bankroll.

This makes this challenge somewhat special.

Nah, I'm doing this for fun / self challenge so no need to bet. Never wanted a bet originally till you said "bet you can't" and my ego went "yes huh". I really, really do think I'll make it though, so yw on your $100

I'd like to take this opportunity to re-thank those who said gl, and those who have said gl since my last post. This is definitely a fun little challenge for me and as we all know (since I've literally stated in text) I'm not taking this 100% hardcore with volume and/or br management. Not to mention getting in volume at reg/turbo on Merge means 2 games an hour. Thanks all for being supportive, fun, and all around non-douchey.

This is kind of what I was going for Jack, you nailed it. 2-3yrs ago this would have been a ~0% opportunity for me to try something like this. I can very, very confidently beat anything at or below ~$100... and basically if variance smacks me I'll be forced to put in more volume till it evens out. Luckily I've only had one day of bad variance ($-300, your example is again spot on, bc it didn't for 1 second impact my game) and haven't really had to make any adjustments except for adding in a lot of reg/turbo games to the meal-plan.

Start of day 4:

Day 1: 742.60
Day 2: ??? I got so wasted I came back the next day and found "Real Life Quidditch" in my Google search-bar, apparently ran bad when I did play
Day 3.5: 1385.80
Start of 4: 1753.00

I agree and wish Motown the best of luck in achieving this goal. He definitely set the bar extremely high imo. A $450.00 profit a day ave for 10 days with variance will be pretty tough unless he goes on a godheater for 3 or 4 days and cruises to the finish. Realistically, I think he'll make it to about 3200.00 if no real tough days. But good to aim high fsho. GLGL MoTown!

You make it to 5k, I'll throw in MS office 2011 for Mac But I wanna see SS reset and results to collect
