incomeraise · 08-25-10, 07:03 AM

Leaning towards san diego right now...I think i wont touch the tampa game!!

You are going to have to avoid juice in order to make any money.

RL's, ML Dogs, and totals are your options.

If you are really disciplined you will spend 10% of that on each bet. So $20 per play. If you cant do that, dont worry about gambling.

runnershane14 · 08-25-10, 07:14 AM

good luck to you

WeinketoWarrick · 08-25-10, 07:18 AM

might as well go all-in first game. 200 is nothing unless you're just doing it for entertainment purposes only

you wont last more than a few days like that.

With a 200 bank, at least you should spend time making bets in order how to learn how to gamble.

people really do have different opinions about how to gamble...i like ur way better...just that the bankroll is so small...eventually will get bigger...i just need to be discipline and not get ahead of myself, by betting 15millions game/day
1-2 should be good

So when u say 10% do u mean to risk 10% or to play to win 10% on favorite
(i ll try to avoid juice...but so far the team thats gets my attention is san diego)

HoulihansTX · 08-25-10, 07:41 AM

just risk it.

you want to be able to make at least 10 bets, B4 going bust.

incomeraise · 08-25-10, 07:44 AM

ok. thanks for the help!!

PuckCoach · 08-25-10, 07:47 AM

Why not use you sbr points only until you start winning? This way you learn by losing points. If you win you can start with a 250 freeplay.

mighty maron · 08-25-10, 07:47 AM

the NFL or college football first weeks are good lean material

limitation · 08-25-10, 11:16 PM

Looks good so far on your bet. Good luck with your project. I was in same boat as you once. I started my bankroll with only $220 and it took me pretty good so far to this today.

Albert Pujols · 08-25-10, 11:37 PM

All in 7 times and make 20k.

that's nice to hear..how far did it take you? Are you still playing with the same bankroll? I think I have a good feel for the game, but lack some discipline sometimes...like I said many times I wanted to put a lot down on games that I like and really doubted myself and didn't do it, but the only time I decide to do it is when I lose..dont ask me why things like that often happen..because I don't have the answer,but I know it is often the case

I d love to have 20k out of 200...lol
wouldn't that be just greater than great haha

Gee · 08-26-10, 12:16 AM

your unit size in this case probably depends a lot if you can afford to lose your roll and reload.

if you can, then i suggest playing a bigger unit size than suits your roll, knowing that it may wipe you out... you need to accept that as possibility and if it happens, don't lose faith. just don't keep increasing it every time you go on a streak... if you're a +EV bettor, you'll eventually reach a point where you feel like you are making or can make some reasonable coin.

its hard to get really interested if you're only playing for points or $20.00 IMO. i know others will disagree, but each to their own.

Kav · 08-26-10, 12:18 AM

anytime i start with a roll around $200 bucks i always bet around like $50-100 bucks a game even though its like 1/4-1/2 my roll until i hit like a grand lol. then i start following proper bankroll management.

Rixsaw · 08-26-10, 12:29 AM

It took me roughly 3 weeks to build 300 to 1500. It was slow and painstaking. But I had fun and learned some capping skill along the way. Just be patience, don't risk more than 30% of your bankroll on a given day, and pick your spot wisely. Good luck, you can do it.

incomeraise · 08-26-10, 05:13 AM

guys i really appreciate all the insights..it might take me a while, to know how to do it properly, but i hope by the time am done with this thread, I can say i learned a lot, and know how to do it successfully on my own.

That being said I have few teams I am looking at right now :
I think oak sweeps clev ,phil(-1) avoid their sweep,san diego and white sox(-1)
i ll be back later after i digg more into it
as usual appreciate the comments guys

papitopapita · 08-26-10, 05:18 AM

BOL buddy im one similar to you as well.

It's one of the best ways to learn the discipline you need in this weird business.

SolidDala · 08-26-10, 07:10 AM

BOL with your quest mate

people saying all-in are people losing money. People saying bet max 10% risk 1-2 plays a day are the ones making money, so listen to them.. If you manage to build it up to 4-500 rather fast, like 2 weeks or something, lower that 10% to something like 5% ... Its very easy to double a roll , but even easier to lose that doubled roll by continue high % bets..

PittsburghPlayer · 08-26-10, 07:35 AM

I have started with $200 before and made it work. I agree with the men suggesting $20 and $10 bets for the time being. GL Yo.

incomeraise · 08-26-10, 11:54 AM

K my second bet of the thread is philly -1 -125 for 20
might have something later

incomeraise · 08-26-10, 03:26 PM

back to 200

san diego -1 -118 as i said i think they get the sweep..i know people say they are just waiting for philly hmm and might not play their starters today, well philly might be waiting for them 2(in other words to wait for it), and i still think they keep their momentum going and get that win tonight
toronto -136
oakland -117

Definitely co-sign as well. The people that are suggesting all-in or even 1/4th of your roll per bet may well have their rationale but I think any gambler will tell you that the process (grinding) only makes you appreciate your work that much more when it pays off.

Good luck whatever route you choose, but a caveat, it's definitely easy to love gambling when you're winning but the hard part is maintaining discipline when you hit a streak of "bad luck."
