    Never said parlays are magic. You're looking desperate.

    And, you're retard about ROI. But, it's funny watching you try to ignore something that is a staple in financing.

    Yes, I can experience grammar fail from time to time.. My mind works faster then my fingers can type at times.. I skip words and what not.. Hense why I am always editing my posts for about a minute after throwing them up... I usually get it right in the end... That time I didn't...

    Turning a -350 or whatever line into a +600 or whatever line seems pretty focking magical to me, bro. You can do this on a daily basis and you're posting on SBR? What the fock is wrong with you? Bankrupt every major sportsbook in three months and live the life.

    I'm not sure if you know what "defend" means, either. You certainly don't understand ROI, for how much you talk about it. Another couple of pages for the Brooks playbook.

    Brooks -- Masters focus on R.O.C. vs. R.O.I.

    So it's just gonna be flame wars on the sub threads to keep us all entertained until the new Event thread pops up.

    Did Locksmith have a baby too? Next event is like 2 weeks away though but the lines are up already if I'm not mistaken?.

    I'm surprised to see you guys flaming a guy like Brooks with that many posts and with a lengthy forum history like he has.. Everyone is fair game I see these days...

    Pot quiz, hop shots. I wrote a quick quiz for 7-year-olds who want to learn how to gamble. You can all answer, don't worry.

    Which of the following (you can select as many as you'd like) is an accurate measure of a gambler's ability?

    1. ROI
    2. ROC
    3. Winning percentage
    4. Win-loss ratio
    5. Magic parlays

    I'll post the answers tomorrow. Brooks, I suggest you participate. Maybe you'll learn something.

    ^^^^I figured out ROI stands for - return on investment, but what in God's name is ROC? Return on Crap or Capital? Lost once again.....



    In gambling I just play by these rules - bet evenly and small on iffy bets, bet larger on sure wins that you cap and have a good feel for.. When the odds get too large parlay them up if you have a strong feel on a couple of fights.. I do the same in MLB and have always done well through the years doing just this....

    I don't have fancy terms for play or bank roll management, I don't use spread sheets, I just try and win and understand style matchups.. If you can consistently pick'em right you should win if your betting is balanced and it's not rocket science..

    If a streaky gambler like most of us are and winning then bet bigger then normal, if losing bet smaller and NEVER CHASE and empty your bank roll.. Live to play another day and swallow your losses with a smile for that day.... Keep the mental thoughts positive always...

    Those are my simple rules and they seem to work well for me.. My problem is I stay too conservative and cash out too often.. Since the posting advice from Nunya I have changed that up though.. We see...

    Prop bets are KING and should always be considered... O/U round bets also....

    What I find to be helpful when uncertain or on a losing streak is seek out streaking winners as they tend to post during live events, losers don't and won't post.. Nature of the beast.... Pay attention to the posts always during live events... One of the benefits to being on this forum..

    I've road a few chaps on a couple of occasions and it paid off when I was not dialed in.... I'm sure a few have trailed me also... I don't mind as I prefer to share.. If I start losing I will let it be known and stop posting during live events..

    Again, showing how desperate you are since I never said anything of the sort and how uneducated when it comes to betting and financing in general. You should always be looking for new vehicles to carry your cash or bets. But, why would you care about that, ROI is stupid, who would want to increase that?

    ROC means "return on capital". It means what's your yearly return on your bankroll.

    Let's see how sharp you are Jenius (Yes that is Jenius with a capital J, only reserved for the sharpest of clowns).

    Who's a better gambler?

    Muppet A: Placed 20 bets and made 25% ROI
    OR
    Muppet B: Placed 2000 bets and made 4% ROI

    Assume unit/bet size is the same.

    ROC is confusing people because it also means a very specific equation in finance. This is the classic EV vs EG debate rehashed for the millionth time. Just read kelly criterion and move on.

    The financial world requires such an inordinate amount more information than ROI it isn't even funny. ROI is a ratio that is essentially meaningless alone.

    If you say so pal.. you can try and speak for me but you will only be laughed at, because you obviously have no clue what bets i make / how much i bet etc.

    Your clearly losing otherwise you woudent think everyone else is losing which is fine but dont be so ignorant.

    I have never "lost it all" as i have always bet a set amount of extra money reserved for betting on MMA.

    I'm not a thick degenerate gambler like some others may be.

    I'm doing you the favor of replying to you this time because i generally think your uninformed, but next time you will ignored as per usual.

    And the past five events have been simple to make money on. if you coudent maybe you should find a new hobby.

    Marzy, I like how much of a c-nt you are when it isn't directed at me. Maybe it's because I had a great day, but you're growing on me. You and JIBBY can be in my crew, as what Sons of Anarchy would call "prospects". You guys will have to sleep with Rocko to move up the ranks though, this life isn't focking easy.
