    Need advice.....

    So for the past 16 weeks i have been betting using my own system. The system is easy have a budget of $300 a day. Basically that $300 can be used any way possible depending on how strong i feel about the games. I try to do mostly live betting. If i make money from the first trade i have the option to double up.

    Here are my results last 16 weeks

    Investing summary (weekly)

    600
    865
    1178
    2734
    1245
    339
    1733
    2468
    907
    -4613
    -2688
    100
    3108
    1052
    -390
    -1194


    Is this something that i can do long term? Is 16 weeks enough of a sample size to assume this can be done long term.

    So far i have 4 losing weeks out of 16. I had 2 really big losing weeks where i started chasing and upped my bets. Learned my lesson and made sure that doesnt happen again.

    Doesn't work, apparently, do more tests on paper, try modifying it to get higher paying long shots.

    If your a handicapper you will never win

    It's the same as everything else. Money management and discipline is key. Agree w others. Test further and you gotta find a way to limit downside. Good luck either way. Keep running hot

    A few tips I picked up at dif. cites: specialize in leagues and certain teams. Find teams where popularity and news media may skew odds. You can spot momentum on teams u follow closely.
