Does anybody else do this? What's your best streak?

My name is: Road2TheFinal4 and my best streak is 4 (last year I had 10!) so far.

I did it a few times...I don't think I've lost yet, but, I also have only bet on 3 games. The smarter way than doing this ESPN thing is to take $5 and try to make that streak...cause if you nail 15 bets in a row at even odds, you turn that $5 into $60k+, and at any point, you can choose to put some of the money aside and not risk it all.

Also, if you hit 27 bets right in a row, and kept wagering your winnings, even at scattered odds, you'd make way more than $1mil...if every bet was 1/1 odds, it'd be $600mil

completely guessing, my top streak was 5. when i actually looked into the teams and tried to take the streak seriously, my longest was 3. i am absolutely dumbfounded how these people are getting 25....i still think its 80% luck.

They should probably come up with a better name for the contest than 'streak for the cash'.

for a lot of the stuff, i dont even know what the "sure thing" is. they sometimes have a lot of random under/overs from sports or teams i barely pay attention too.

and i just lost my streak by saying that roddick would at least one set. he didn't. thanks andy.

also if you see a lot of people taking a team over 93%, i'd go with the opposite. 4 out of 5 times the team with 7% wins.

If you did this on CentSports, you'd win way more than a million.

I've got nothing. Never did this.

i just started yesterday and have only done college basketball games. I picked three games that were pretty much all the same, a ranked away team at a home team with a losing record and I'm 3-0 (in all cases, more than 90% chose the winner, but I doubt that will happen 27 times in a row).

Anyhow, I'm not touching those soccer or prop bets, just sticking to college hoops because that's all I know and you never know when an NBA team is going to take the night off...

streak of 3 right now haha, we'll see where it goes.

I just figured out yesterday you an pick more than 1 a day. With March Madness in full swing this is incredible news. I'm at 2 right now with the over on points in UNC VTech pending. My high is 3, I know I suck.

Picking the Little League World Series games is great--actually makes them interesting for non-pedophiles or family members.

Is there an Absolutepunk group? If not, somebody should make one. On that note, does anybody do this anymore besides me?
I'm on a W5 right now with the Rays looking to give me a W6
