    MIKEYA2K Tracking my sports investments : Wish a young investor some luck

    I have learned some valuable lessons in my young career as a gambler and I believe I am now able to take those lessons with a grain of salt and reflect on the bad chasing and Tilt that I have experienced. I have a bankroll and will be playing mostly 0.5x-5x with rare 10x plays and 15x.

    I have learned that there is no other way to win than to be discipline and stay within your means. I have woken up and decided to bet all my bread on a team I haven't even seen play. I have bet -700 chalk to pick up a quick buck and Aaron Rodgers goes down on the first drive.

    I am ready to invest.

    Good luck to all.

    Whether my thread will not merit any response. Or religious fade, or tailing. I wish you all luck.

    I am coming out swinging with two nationally televised games on ESPN.

    Although the Heat are overvalued often especially in these games I think we see a valiant effort against a Memphis team that will play tough, but just doesn't have enough firepower. It should be close and I see too much value to not bet on LeBron as a +165 dog against any team...I think books are undervaluing the loss the Heat had last night, that will linger and I expect them to take advantage of gaining a game against the Pacers.

    I like the Thunder specifically because I think they are capable of beating Clippers , even if the Clippers play there style of basketball . I think once again, the value is on the Thunder here. This is going to be a grind , and I think the Thunder avenge the embarrassing loss while clinging onto the two seed in the West.

    Together, I see too much value in that teaser to not make it a big play. I don't see either team getting blown out in this situation.

    Why not have a max daily risk limit between 10x and 20X, and a cap of 3-5 plays. No need for the cheap .5X-2X plays. Playing -110 with heavy daily volume is probably a losing strategy in the long run.

    What a gross end to the 3rd Q. Terrible .
    Cannot believe the way the Heat closed the game.
    Bosh disappointed. The big white kid Hamilton played tough minutes.
    Heat down 8 with 40 seconds left please hope they cover the Tease

    Mike this looks like a losing battle

    First off way too many games on the card

    Secondly do you have what it takes to track your picks every day once you're in the red?

    Most guys disappear after there in the red one month

    Gl bro hope you hustle that sportsbook. Just try cutting the plays to a little less and not bet too much on one game. Like your dallas play if spurs rest some players.

    I have nothing to prove to anyone I am tracking my plays If I am a fade or a tail or a nothing I do not care what some random degenerates on an online forum think of my plays LOL

    I am in it to win it long term There will be days I make volume plays and that is simply due to my profession and that I have a lot of money coming in at the time, and I love the action.

    Good luck man! Tough to stay disciplined and track your plays so credit for the thread. Most of us gambling have been on tilt and chased and lost it all at some point. Just gotta learn from it and be patient

    Good luck with your picks bro, I'm in the same boat as a "young investor" since this is my second year of truly taking capping seriously.
    I've been most profitable betting live since I'm always looking for swings to get better spreads and profitable ML plays.
    You just have to know when to buy which I practiced by writing down air bets while watching lines during games last year.

    Sports Betting is not investing its gambling

    Anything where this is a short outcome is gambling
