    Depends on whether the mental bets win or lose.

    They’re cheaper in a loss than a win, obviously.

    But sometimes the info gained by making a mental bet is worth quite a bit, maybe even more than one real bet.

    “Mental bets” of my favorite jj gold-isms. It connotes a certain sort of zen quality otherwise absent from being completely broke

    Just remember, you can’t develop winning bets without first developing mental bets.

    Well, you can, but it can get expensive.

    Does SBR provide mental health assistance to their employees? It is definite that jjgold lost his marbles.

    Here is a strategy

    make mental plays in a tracker of some sort wait for losing streaks then bet real money

    Better than any other method

    Yeah but not Think Tank worthy.

    You got guys lke Johhny, Pavy and Chucky in here adding nothing, not recognizing the trial and error of sportbetting.

    Don't put your jokes in the Think Tank, Gold. This thread should not be in the Think Tank if we aren't going to elaborate on the trial and errors that us modelers must go through.

    There is value in paper and "mental betting" for those who want to improve their handicapping, but I don't see any of them in this thread.

    Track your bets and why you made them.

    Air Bet = a bet with no financial investment

    Mental Bet = a bet so advantageous for the house you'd have to be mental to make it
