I couldnt edit. Here is the kicker. She lives in Philly. Went to the store with $8(never plays tickets). won $1000 + $2. she then said she went back and hit for $120 and then a few smaller prizes. Of course we pour all our money into games and lose and someone who NEVER plays walks up and wins. Guess its ironic.

Yesterday I felt good that I made a few dollars, so I don't blame you at all. I'm spending less at least. I see the winners people are cashing out and then putting in the trash, and those are no better than what I've been doing. So doesn't seem like I'm missing a lot of good wins. Maybe if we both spend less, we'll get lucky like your friend and not feel guilty about spending a lot.

That is my thought . I guess if I am going to lose, I would rather not feel bad about losing $15 vs spending $100 and getting maybe $20 back only to lose that. I still plan to test my casino theory and will def post those results .

Good luck to you, omiller! I know I've gotten better money from one sports bet than on most scratch off days.

Just tried 10- Dice Doublers($1). They all lost. I didnt expect much from $1 ticket, but 10 in a row.. Come on!!

Got 5- Electric 8's. One ticket hit 5 times and one hit twice. can you guess the amounts?? Yep. $1 per win.. Very disheartening when multiple wins are crap like that.

Got 3 20X. Ticket 019 had 1 match for $25. So I am down $3 on the day.

Figured I would go back and spend the $7 on more Dice Doubler. I ended up with tickets 049-065. Ticket 061 had the doubler for $1. Guess it is better than 50 cents.lol

wow, im impressed. ive never heard of anyone laying action on vollyball, darts, or handball. i assume these bets are made in the UK? i know vegas doesnt put out odds for vollyball or handball, but i think they lay odds for darts when its the world championship. betting on tennis scares me a ton because of all the scandels that happened a few years ago with a couple of russian pros. they were taking huge payments to throw their match. also, betting on individual sports is so risky. the only individual sport i will lay action on is golf, but i always take the field...which usually pays +2.50 give or take. my main source of income comes from betting on nfl, nba, ncaa football, ncaa basketball, and playoff baseball. regular season baseball is too hard and the odds are not profitable enough unless you take the spread which is 1.5 across the board for every game, and 2 runs is just too risky without pushes available. if pushes were available in baseball spreads, the odds would be much more enticing to bet. the craziest bet ive made was on womans college basketball. it was years ago and i took tennessee -26 and they won by 32 so i won. other than that, i stick to the "big" american sports. once the nba and nhl end next week, ill have nothing to bet on until college football starts. i use a website to lay my action...what site do you use? or do you have a bookie?

Unibet. you can sell your live bet before its finalized its easy to make money on matches that lag 4-5 seconds.

I've noticed the 10-in-a-rows aren't that uncommon nowadays. If I bought 10 $2 tickets, my chance of getting a win is probably 80%. I even saw a 10 streak in my $5 roll.

I didnt expect much from the $1 games, but since everyone else was hitting on them I thought I would try. I would think 10 in a row isn't uncommon on $1. I think I had a 10 streak on my $2 roll. 10 in a row on a $5 sucks and since you got the roll, you know nothing great was before or after. Wish there was a way PA could at least have a ticket value winner or higher every so many tickets. Maybe 1 in 3-4 $20 tickets. 1 in 4-5 $10 tickets. 1 in 5-6 $5 and at least 1 in 10 on the $2/$1 tickets. I wouldnt mind buying 5 or 10 at a time if I knew for sure I would at least get 1 ticket back .

Hi, omiller - the 10 streak in my roll was after a $50 win. That's not huge, but the streak on the $2 game yesterday was after an $8 win. It seems those streaks come for nothing sometimes. I even saw what I think were 9 Cash Fevers a row in the trash at Giant one time. Now it's possible there was a $500 or at least $200 and the person got greedy, but sometimes relatively small prizes are around the streaks. Streaks at the beginning and end of the rolls (especially the beginning) are more common.

I'll try a couple $10 games for a change today. I can't believe my last $100s on $10 games were on Winner Green and Money Money Money.

I know its a scratch off thread but there is no where else to post but anyway I won $1,000 at the casino today with a $500 bet on roulette. I walked away with the money and went to a nice lunch.

wow, how the heck do you bet $500 on roulette. i've seen your post many times about wager amounts and spending $$$ on rolls.. my conclusion is either your a compulsive gambler or compulsive millionaire. just saying, no offense. congrats.

Congrats James. I still stick by my theory that casinos are better hits. Scratch offs might be best for smallest bet to win biggest amount(ie $5 ticket to hit $100,000)-same with slot machines. However the tables and sports is your better chance to win bigger, however you usually have to risk a tad more. No $5 sports bet will hit for $100,000 unless you parlay every single NFL game in a given week and hit. Your $500 roulette bet had alot better shot at returning the $500 vs $500 scratch offs. Roulette is roughly 50/50 minus the chance the 2 greens come up. There are 18 red, 18 black and 2 green,so in theory it would be 47% chance of red or black and the other 5-6% green. I know every roll is separate, but online I use to bet the same on black and red and when I saw a long streak, I played big on the opposite. I know the odds are always the same each spin, however the probability that after 6 reds another one comes up seems pretty slim. Guess I am just rambling now.lol
