    Nocoin, I've learned over time and research it is almost impossible to bet the way you are betting (many plays). It just is almost impossible to make money that way. Now if you have some computer program shooting out plays it may be possible, but one guy capping is not realistic......

    If you make 100 sport bets per year you are probably on the high side unless this is your full time job and you are handicapping 8 hours a day.

    The odds and vig just make it really difficult when you start to get into the 1000 bets type of range.

    Just play streak for cash and the covers streak contest if you want daily action, but in terms of making money betting sports, you have to be very selective. For instance your spot bet plays seem to have done alright in this thread, I've only seen the last two (Philly and Arizona, but they both won and I'm assuming you have not had many other 10+ unit bets in this thread)

      Agree. That's the next step. I feel like I'm trying to ween myself off an addiction, but I can't quit cold turkey.

                    Sticking with the under 5K's for Sanchez at -110. Pretty tight zone by Cousins combined with a cold Sanchez should lead to a short/not necessarily effective outing. NC

                                          If it wasn't for the Rockies lack of pitching, they could've swept the Giants. There such an up and down team it amazes me. One of the most unpredictable teams in baseball.

                                                  Just classic. That's all I have to say. Seriously, I've faded Vogelsong more than any other pitcher outside of Worley and hardly ever cashed. Now I back him and he turns into, well, Vogelsong.
