Streak for the Cash
ESPN.com has a promotion, Streak for the Cash, where if you pick 27 consecutive games against the spread you win $1 million.
Seems like a great freeroll, but what would it cost you to replicate? If you started with $0.026, and picked 27 consecutive games (at -110), increasing your bet each time to equal your previous bet + winnings, you would have $1 million.
The question is, if you’ve picked 26 in a row and are sitting about to bet $523k to win $477k for that 27th bet how many would actually do it?
