    days of the week---card size help needed
    I have 2 days of the week I win

    Monday and friday

    this suggest to me that I do best when there is a limited choice


    does anyone have any tricks or Tips I can use to somehow breakdown the bigger cards

    I am turning the corner of playing as many games as possible to focusing in on the few best plays of the day

    but for some reason the more choices there are in front of me the more I freeze up and make mistakes

    stick to a limited number of games a day. say don't go more than 3. but remember you dont HAVE to play 3! that is just a maximum.

      Just a heads up, you're about to get 15 pretty sharp posters in here telling you that it doesn't matter whether you bet 1 or 50 games, as long as they all have a positive expectation. And they'll all be right. You bet when you have an edge.

        thanks for the response dodger

        I play a lot of games early in the season because it helps me pay attention for the future

        the issue I believe is not playing to many games as much as the more choices there are the less I am able to zero in

        my eyes just go back and forth and eventually will be overwhelmed

        I have read about focusing in on certain conferences so maybe I should focus on the coferences that play on these days

        maybe I would be wise to spend the week studying for these days

        that might take more discipline than I have

            take an index card and hold it up so you can only see 3-5 games at a time.

              Yeah, and how are you supposed to know if you have an edge?

                You're betting for one of two reasons:

                1) Entertainment
                2) You think you have an edge

                  perhaps you are spending more time analyzing/capping each individual game when there is a limited card?

                    You can be getting great odds on a loser with +EV, but it's still a loser

                      I do indeed have more time to devote to the plays and on the big days it gets to be to much work because I do not know how to narrow down my choices good enough

                      how do you narrow them down without comparing them all?

                      I guess this is my next step

                        does a reason to pay attention for future gains qualify as a solid reason ?

                        it is the excuse/reason I do it
