So i started off on bovada by putting $100 into my account, bovada matched half ($50) and i referred someone which got me $150 more bonus dollars for a total of $300. I started off doing quite well with my bets (most notably betting on holly holm to beat ronda rousey past round 1) and was quickly up to about $450. I cashed out $100 to get my original deposit back figuring every bet i do now is with money that i am up. Since then I have sucked really bad and im now down to 74.09 (with a couple minor bets still open. AFC in superbowl +2.5 and conner mcgreggor to be #1 pound for pound ranked fighter at the end of 2016)
So since i have been doing so bad and im kind of tired of betting (and losing), tonight i decided to just bet the full balance left (74.09).
I decided it would either be bet on Rodney Hood over 15.5 points tonight, Gobert over 10.5 rebounds, or hayward over 19.5 points. I put it all on hayward. If i lose that bet then im done betting. If i win then im going to bet the full remaining balance again on the superbowl. If i win both of those bets then i will cash out.
Go Hayward!

Ya hayward laid an egg. Picked a bad night for it
Entered exact same tournament today, and ended up in second place, winning $63. I am really quite good at this game. 
However, I lost due to the most incredible bad beat I had ever experienced. With the game 3 handed, I was chip leader with 250k chips. I drew 66, and the guy in second place called. The flop wa 6-K-5. I bet half a pot, and the guy raised, so I called. I hit another 6 on the turn, making a quad. I bet half pot, and he calls. A King drops on the river, and I bet another half pot, he raises, and I call. And he had KK, making him a quad king, and losing me a massive pot, worth more than half my chips.
Either way, here's the usual screenie.

It seems like every time I don't bet on the jazz, they cover the spread!
Jazz covered the spread of like -7.5 vs hornets.
Jazz covered the spread of like -7 vs t-wolves.
I'm putting $500 on the jazz tonight at -4.5 spread vs the Bulls.
I will be really, really mad if Jazz can't cover this spread, considering Bulls played like crap in LA on sunday, Jimmy Butler plays no defense vs Crawford,
Gasol had a decent game, but Rudy should hold him under 15 pts. I think its a safe bet.

These results, especially the fact that you are getting through large fields consistently, is really impressive. It's not my money, but I'd say you should try some larger buy-in tourneys. You'll have a good idea pretty fast if the play is significantly better, or if it is only marginally better. And the payoffs, obviously, would make your time much more worthwhile.
Thanks. I won again on Sunday btw.
I've built my bankroll nearly to $1000 (from 200). I don't know if I'll have time tonight, but I'll try a bunch of $10 tourneys when I can to test the level of competition.

Really good job, Siro.
Years ago, on Poker Stars and Full-Tilt, I was getting pretty damn good. I remember winning a satellite that brought me to an expensive tourney. I think first place paid out like 10K...maybe even like 20-30K...I forget. It was a freakin' lot though, I know that. Anyway, I think there was about 330 people and I just hung around for the first couple hours, ranking maybe around 75th out of the remaining 130. Nothing special. And I finally got a solid hand. I forget my hand exactly, 10/J suited maybe. And the flop came out like 10/J/Q off. Anyway, I know I raised, and a guy went all-in and I called. I was behind. The turn came to give me the fullhouse and then a quarter second later the river came and gave the other guy a better fullhouse. He was in the lead so it wasn't a bad beat. But it just sucked because I would've been a top 10-15 chips guy probably and could've just hung around and played prudently. Was such a huge payday. Sucked.
