Default newbie question???

question?

say you put $20 on a game, if you win do you get $40...

next say you keep wagering what you win 40,80,160,320 etc..after one game a week for 2 months you would total $5000...this is low risk/high reward considering its only $20 of your own money...would it work this way or am i missing something??

thank you

Yes if you bet 20 and win you get 40 back.

Then f you picked 1 game a week and kept betting a winning eventually you would top $5000. It would be hard to win that many in a row but do able if you had a little luck

That is not advisable. Somewhere along the way you are going to lose and then have to start all over again. Bet the same amount and slowly increase but don't make it your entire cash amount unless you are starting out. If you want to bet 20 and you have 20 then thats cool but if you turn that 20 into 100 and you bet it all and lose, you just cancelled out a few wins and have nothing to show for a winning record.

Theoretically this theory is correct, to re-invest all of your money over the couse of eight months is asking for a lose and major dissapoinment.
