    The Correct Mindset of a Gambler
    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.

      Like I said I'm not claiming to be some superstar who wins some ridiculous percentage of his bets because NOONE ON HERE DOES. But this advice has helped me collect some serious money more than a few times and limit what I payout.. Especially using A&Rs as an edge to collect big payouts while risking a smaller percentage while your up. Its all about runs. If you go 4 n 0 you quadruple what you would have won if you did 4 straight bets. If you win your first one you can always hedge out and collect. This has been a technique that has helped me out HUGELY. Just wanted to shine some light on it to help some people out. I run it like a business not an impulsive ass like yourself.

        First of all, you NEVER change the amount you wager on a game. It is either worth a wager or it is not. This is why you have not done real well, which is what you are really trying to tell us. If you were winning, you would have never needed advice from your uncle. See how easy it is to disprove a story? It is NOT all about runs. This is NOT a crap table.

        Secondly, I am sure that you use some off shore book, which means that yo do NOT collect very often. That is how they play the game. You cannot draw out your funds when you decide to. THey tell you when, and how much (in general terms) you can draw out. So you do not have to worry about that. You may have a good season, but one season does not make a career. You had better start doing some homework and just post you you are playing instead of this alleged "advice" that you received from your "uncle". A join date of 5/13 and 82 posts to show for that.

          Actually Bigdaddy blowhard. I said two years ago I wasn't doing that well and since the advice from my uncle I have done well. Like i said I have nothing and am not trying to prove anything to you or anyone on this website. Look at my posted picks from last year. Did pretty well on what I did post until I stopped because the quality of the forum declined drastically from the preseason to the seasons start.


          So your telling me you win betting the same amount on every game? The best handicappers in the world don't get much more than 60% of their picks right. So your telling me that you bet for fun and pay the books Juice to do it???????? Also FYI I do not use off shore bull shit I really don't see what justifies that assumption????.. 9,225 posts and I've seen you being shitted on and called out more than anyone on this website….

          Please do tell me how sports betting is any different than any other type of gambling…..??? Do no limit poker players bet the same amount? Do blackjack players bet the same amount? NO! Because the HOUSE holds the advantage and the only way to win is to get the most out of your runs when your on them. Please explain the difference? Gambling is gambling plain and simple.

          Your such a tool, why would I come on here a make something up? Cause I want BigDaddy Fatfuck's approval?
          lol Im all set with your worthless banter bro

            I'm simply being polite and calling you out. You guys are very easy to catch in lies. The problem is that the more you lie, the more you have to remember what you said, because it is a lie. Now I do NOT win at a 60% rate. Mine is around 58.4%. I am in it for the liong run, and have been doing this since the early 1970's. I wager more money in a year than you will in 5 year. That is an undeniable fact. I also know more about gambling in general that you will EVER know. That was proven by your stupidity when trying to compare sports wagering to other types of wagering. First of all, when you play blackjack, the cards tend to bunch up after a few shoes. Tens in one pile and the others in another. The reason for that is that people are going to draw to small hands, and keep drawing until they catch a winnable hand or bust. That means the small cards tend to bunch up. In Craps, the dice can go "hot" or "cold". In sports wagering, the only thing that goes "hot" or "cold" are your picks, and that has absolutely nothing to do with runs. That has nothing to do with streaks. That has to do with your inability to pick winners. No one says that you have to take the same team every week. No one does. If you cannot pick a winner, that is on you, not some imaginary run. The next time you talk about gaming, have some idea of what the hell you are talking about. By the way, since you claim not to use an off shore book, just who do you use. Do you go to Vegas (Doubtful) or use a Local?

            One other thing. This is what gave you away. You guys are so easy to catch. You said this :"Did pretty well on what I did post until I stopped because of the quality of the forum declined drastically from the preseason to the season's start." Does that mean you did NOT post after the start of the season? What it really means is that you started losing your tail and were not man enough to post that in here. Instead, you decide to blame the entire site. You are nailed boy. Deny this. Go ahead and try. It will just get worse for you.

              Bigdaddy I am also a new poster

              Very new to gambling, and certainly am not a "pro". One thing I am very sure of in my short time on this board is: you reply to every post, and 99.9% of the time it's negative. Why are you so damn angry all the time? And if this board is so full ignorance, what are you doing here Ol' Mighty One?

                THANK YOU OLE MISS!!!


                Bigdaddy i LOVE your explanation of how sports wagering is different than other forms of gambling.. So all that gets hot and cold is your picks, so isn't that the same as heads & tails with a quarter. Every bet over/under or against the spread is a 50/50 shot at winning JUST LIKE a simple game of heads and tails. for someone who claims to be so penetrating good, your only getting 58%, which is probably very similar to picking to either heads or tails if you flipped a coin 1000 times. theres a 50/50 chance at winning on EVERY BET so eventually after enough HOT and COLD streaks your average win ratio will round somewhere near 50% and you'll loose you money on the JUICE. Especially if you've been a degenerate as long as yourself. You angry fat penetrate

                      Bigdaddy, I usually don't call people out in this forum, but after reading these posts, all I can say is "WOW"... are you a teenager or what? You said that you have a business, I'm just so sorry for your employees, because they have a boss with a mindset of a kid. I hope your business is doing well, because you can't run your business with this attitude.

                                How does "number of posts" equate to overall knowledge?
                                Just because someone doesn't pound the keyboards for hours a day, posting useless random thoughts, doesn't make them any less smart then someone with 9,258 posts. You've called many posters out for this same "infraction", personally I'm thinking someone who has 9,258 post doesn't have really much of a life outside of the cyberworld

                                    I enjoyed hearing about your thoughts of playing one game during a timeslot and how you think when making a large play...I agree while flat betting is safe, making multiple unit plays on games you feel strongly about is the best way to boost winnings. You don't have to make a multi unit play every day which is the hard part once you win a few

                                      If you have to sweat the bet, your bet is too large.
