Let me first start off and say that I'm not making any claims of being an amazing Gambler because lets face it we have streaks of winning and losing… My uncle gave me some words of advice that I have followed through the past two NCAA football and basketball seasons. His advice has put me in positions of being up far more units than I had ever been in the past and from there I've developed some strategies on my own to cram more of the books cash into my pocket.
(My uncle's words of wisdom) The first and most important rule is DO NOT SPEND MONEY YOU COLLECT until you are done for the season! The typical gamblers mind-state is their own worst enemy. (I know i had this exact mind state in the past) Once I would get up 500+ dollars I would have fear of loss and start to tame my bets back.. Taking games for 200 or 100 because I wanted to stay up. Then when i would be down 500 my first instinct was to get the hell out of dept, right? So this is when we get wild and throw down larger than normal bets trying to win it all back in one game.. The best thing to do in this situation is LIMIT YOUR LOSSES… Bet 100 a game and try chipping back and chalk the week up for a loss, pay the book and start over the next week. (its a marathon not a sprint…… when your down!) On the other hand once up 500 the best thing to do is forget about that fear of loss and risk the books money because you really have nothing to loose and everything to gain. I'm personally trying to win thousands not hundreds, I'm just using 500 as an example (everyone has their own goals). If you don't like a game enough to bet at least half of what your up then don't bother betting on it (unless you use my progressive strategy), make the most of your winning streak. This is how i've chalked up some major collection days in the past two years. I've also had times where I've doubled or nothing and got nothing but at least I took a chance and put myself in position to win an amount worth collecting. Now lets say I was up 5 units and hit my next bet for 5 more, now up 10 Units, then I hit another for 5 units now up 15 units. This is where I've developed my own techniques to further imply my uncles theory on making your largest bets with the books dough.. I personally hate and try to avoid betting on more than one game that plays at the sametime. i feel that this is when I chip my winnings away, but say I do like 2 or 3 games that i can't resist. I might throw in a .5 unit A N R. Now at most I'm risking a loss of 1 unit but If i do win I get 2 units (makes the two wins count and a 1-1 or 0-2 not hurt nearly as bad). If I hit the A n R for the 2 units Ill clear the slate of my previous winnings for now and play freely with that. Again these are games I like, not love. I might do this a few times if there are a few games i like just to see what happens while I wait like a hunting crocodile for that one game I love and go HAM on it, there is absolutely no better rush than having a chance to collect some serious units and at worst you don't have to go digging into your own pocket to pay the book if you loose.
I've done this that past two years combining NCAA football and Hoops and have gone weeks just breaking even or loosing minimal compared to the few weeks I hit it big and had large paydays. I see a lot of people hating on people in these threads so I'm sure some ass will say I'm talking shit but whatever, I just wanted to share with you guys a system that I've found that has truly worked for me. People say A n Rs and Parlays are sucker bets and they definitely are when your down and out but once you get up big they are simply lottery plays that don't hurt your pockets too badly and pay major dividends. Put yourself in the Bookies shoes, if your down to a public bettor 15 units and he puts in a 1 unit A n R that the most you can win back is 2 units your pissed because you'd rather see him bet the house and give you a shot to win it back and get you loosing again. This is how I make moves during the season. Hope this helps out a few of you who listen!
When your on a heater run with it! If your on a cold streak don't let the bookie suck your bankroll while they're on a hot streak.
Best of Luck to everyone this season.
