    One Shot to Profit

    Hi Guys. My other thread has all of my daily plays with the proper money management to go along with them (The Prairie - Tail or Fade...It's Your Choice). This thread will be different in that I will be posting only 1-2 BETS PER DAY at 5% of my bankroll per bet. I am looking to cut down on the juice and really focus on Quality plays over Quantity of plays...

    My starting bankroll for this thread will be $300 and will look to grow this safely, yet quickly...

    Looking for POSITIVE insight from anyone and everyone!

    Points are appreciated!

    Tail or Fade...

    Remember, these picks are 5% of my bankroll, as I am looking to cut down on action and try to pinpoint profitable angles.

    Detroit Tigers +1.5
    (-105 @ 5Dimes) 5.05% to win 5%

    Reds / Cardinals UNDER 8 (-111 @ 5Dimes) 5.55% to win 5%

    Nice 3-0 start my friend I have had an absolute FAILURE of a week and made it even worse by trying to regain my losses doing parlays and messing around in the casino. Things have just happened that are down right sickening and I lost my composure and discipline to cost myself even more than the upset losses had cost me. My BR was at an all time high of $14,500 and I started with a little over $1k at the start of the season. In just this week I'm down to about $2,500. Unbelievable I know. But I'm dead serious about going pro and doing this for a living and I'm looking to grow my roll quickly, but safely as well. GL to us.

    Always good to see people with decent money management, I'm doing 3% per bet at the moment myself.

    I learned over time that 1-2% is what you should be wagering so that's what I do. I was playing a couple chase systems and I follow Pimike, which he is considered the best capper on SBR by many people. Things were going great but if you know chase systems, then things can get ugly fast if bets start losing. Once I got my roll up pretty high (for me) I started playing it safer and not risking as much on the chases. Then a couple high juice teams got swept and I got spooked cuz I'm so serious about doing this professionally, and I risked too much trying to hit big parlays etc. and that knocked me down even more. I play pretty much all major sports or anything that seems like a good bet. I've only been at this for 2 years so I've still got plenty to learn.
