    Default ensign_lee's Super Parlay thread

    OK: this sound crazy, but I'm gonna do a super-parlay thread. For this year, I will be trying to find games which I think are really good and are worth rolling the winnings + original stake over. This will make it essentially a parlay, because if ANY leg loses, I'm out the original investment of $100.

    I will start with an initial buy-in of $100. I will stick it all on the first play; if it wins, then I will stick all the winnings + the original investment onto the next play...and so on and so on.

    My goal for this is $5000 by the time I'm done. This will NOT be a quick thing; just check the thread yearlong. It will take MANY plays.

    Anybody is welcome to do this with me. If you don't want to do it for $100, just do it for $10 or something, and if I'm successful, you'll have $500 at the end of it. But if you don't want to, that's cool too. This is kind of a "just for fun" type of thing, so don't go crazy.

    This one super-parlay will NOT be part of my normal record. It's just for fun, to see if I can do it.

    I'll be frank; odds are this $100 will be lost at some point before I reach $5000. This is NOT easy.

    But hey: sometimes you gotta just live a little.
