Mike you are too young to throw in the towel.

Go all in. Double that bankroll and you're back in the game.

My personal rules that can improve your sports betting:

1. Money management. Bet less than 5% of your total current bankroll per bet. Be discipline.
2. Be a strategic gambler by picking your spots and wait for the right opportunity. Never be a compulsive gambler by betting because it's your favorite team or for the action. Do your research.
3. Stay emotionless all the time. Bet like a robot. There's no place for emotions in this profession. Be unbiased.
4. Do not judge a team based on what they did last week.

5. Never bet on heavily juiced/vig lines. Like a line at -1000 for example.
6. Never bet on heavily valued lines. Like a terrible team at 100 to 1 odds to win championship.
7. Parlays should be no longer than 2 teams, the bigger the parlay is, the bigger the House Edge. Research and Secure your first pick before moving on to your second pick.

8. Teasers should never pass through the zero.

Maximize your odds by betting on 7 point teasers on sides.
Ignore teasers that are 6 point, 6.5 point and on totals.
Teasers and Parlays give the sportsbooks the most house edge.
If you had to bet on one of these, it would be on the 7 point teaser.

9. Teams with home field/court advantage tend to win games. Sportsbooks know this and favorites the home team.
"Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight;
whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted." -Sun Tzu, the Art of War
10. Never bet on double digit road favorites. You will lose in the long run.
11. Never bet on preseason games on any sport. Predicting on 2nd string teams is stupid because of the lack of game footage on mostly unknown players.
12. Understand how to bet on underdogs ML and ATS:

13. If you are extremely compulsive, arrogant, drunk and biased. The best advice is to "Don't Gamble".
14. Learn from your mistakes. Most gamblers don't learn from their mistakes. That's why I made these gambling rules.

Get it back by chasing.

Plus, it's a rush.

[Duckshit]

You made a thread recently about how you discovered money management, remember?

[Mister X]

Listen to any advice coach gives you

Keep your head up kid, it's just money

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Wow! What an answer.... Bravo

Thanks Duck.

[Duckshit]

I was talking about yours Diggity!

Give up gambling. It's hard but not worth ruining your life. I was betting $300 back when I was 15 and got buried over two weeks. Luckily, I got bailed out. All sorts of crazy shit go through your head in that state. I look back and cringe at my thoughts. It just isn't worth it. The rush gamblers have gambling is because they're degenerates. If you get a rush from gambling youre betting outside your means. Walk away at least until you're older and can take gambling for what it's worth (recreational).

They are all good, but is #9 a rule or more just something to keep in mind? You don't exclusively bet on home teams, do you?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I know. Thanks. I try to give good advice when possible.

Something tells me if you have $5,000 to blow at the age of 19, you'll be just fine with more of mommy and daddys money.

[Bostongambler]

It's not gambling if ur not winning. It's called losing.

[mikeya2k]

You made a thread recently about how you discovered money management, remember?

Yes.
That didnt last long.

I have a problem.

I am not made for this.

Yet

I will be back.

Gotta learn to manage your money. $5k is a shitload to blow in 2 weeks. How much were you betting per game? The juice will eventually get you.

[sheepgotwool]

Simple solution. Just don't have a family.

[broadway6]

Find a new hobby. Don't log onto sbr.

[gauchojake]

This 5k was all in fantasy losses. Not even real gambling.

[Auto Donk]

Mike you are too young to throw in the towel.

Go all in. Double that bankroll and you're back in the game.

sounds like the guy, a heroin dealer, who said, if one needle aint doin' it for you, try two......... diggity always "pushing" these sbr wimps to try harder, achieve more.........

[DiggityDaggityDo]

See, Donk gets it.

[dlunc3]

Only a problem when you lose... Winners don't have a gamble problem

[jjgold]

If you do not go to gambler anonymous meetings three days a week you will go back to gambling as it is proven
