    You have to really cut down the total number of plays. And have a great sense of when to pull the trigger hard , and when to pull back. Ride your rushes, and minimize your loses. To even have a chance.

          Yeah, that's a completely reasonable reaction...

            There are some who do bet for a living and make a lot of money.
            But the people who lose are the ones who post. They cannot do it so it cannot be done.
            HAAAAA HAAAAAA
            Some guy won a Noble prize for Economics proving that no one could beat the stock market in the long run. Problem is, we have a guy like Buffet who has been beating it for 40 years to make the Noble prize winner look stupid. Yes, someone can hit 55% or so and thus win in the NBA or College basketball. Yes, a man can make a money line that is more accurate than the baseball line and thus pick holes in which to play. There are guys you will see in Vegas who have been doing it for 30 years or more. They never talk about it. They never brag about it. They live calm lives with their families and spend evenings at home watching a few games. They do not need to be super smart. They just are smarter than the average money which is how the lines are made. When you make money in the market or in sports, never talk about it because no one will believe you anyway.

                    Isn't that really the point? Scream at teenage blacks for material networth swings -> sip Mai Tai on beach.

                    More worrisome is the OldManTed's who seem to spin their wheels for eternity.

                      The pro play is to bet on 7 year old Thai kids kicking the **** out of each other.

                        I might appear like and idiot after this message I have just startet a small project which may seem 'unrealistic' and stupid in the eyes of some experienced betters. I have made an account only for this project. I throw in an amount of 10-20 dollars. Then I find the "safest" parlay of the week. Just studying games, besides my regular betting, which of course is singles. When I find a parlay that pays me 4 times back and that I'm very confident with - I'm all in. (20$) .. It pays me 80$, next week I do it allover again.. 80$ to win 320$ and I continue! When I hit four times in a row I'll have 5120$ and I cash out.. of course leaving 20 bucks for next month. I have only tried this for one month and I got off pretty good. Won the first two times until the god damn roulette tempted me If you have luck and talent to find the right games, I believe this is possible maybe 2-3 times a year. Which will give you tremendous profit. A lot of people will shoot this strategy down because of simple logic and I don't argue, but I just think it's worth a try. Sometimes if you want to earn big you'll have to go for your chances! Of course you can raise the start amount and lower the odds to increase your chances, but also your lost.

                            The strategy you have described above is absolutely horrendous.

                                  Well first try I hit two times in row.. what stops be from hitting the next two? One time you hit 4 times in a row you will still have a large profit even if you lose the 11 other months. It depends how good you are and of course luck has something to say!

                                    If you win one month out of the next year; I'll pay for your 13th month. Your gonna end up with a big O'fer.

                                    lemme get this straight; you really think you are going to win 4/1 parlay four times in a row?

                                    somebody obviously wasn't a very good math student

                                      Well.. 20 or 10 bucks aren't much.. and you will easily earn them back with your betting besides this strategy. I almost see this as a free chance, cuz I know i'll easily win back my lost Call me naive and gullible, but I will contact you when I cash out 5100 $

                                          good luck with those .004% odds, mathematically your likely to win once in roughly 200 months


                                          Why do some not believe how important the math is in gambling?

                                            Lol of course I can see the math chances aren't exactly on my side on this one. It's a challenge, but a great gambler always have a chance. I might go 10$ to win 50$ to win 200$ to win 600 $ to win 1200 $ .. better chances and a lower lost.. but of course also a lower gain .. But hey man, keep shooting it down I'll prove you otherwise!

                                                a great gambler doesn't make stupid ass bets like you; you're almost as stupid as crustyme

                                                  Can't you read, sir? Normally I bet singles as the major of this forum, cuz it's the only thing that last in the long term. 10$ is not much of my budget and I'll give it a try. I'm just telling you that I'm full aware of the chances and the luck I need, but I take it as a challenge, cuz I know I'm better than the chances tell me!

                                                        Higher ROI in theory, but tough to get down.

Normally I bet singles as the major of this forum, cuz it's the only thing that last in the long term. 10$ is not much of my budget and I'll give it a try. I'm just telling you that I'm full aware of the chances and the luck I need, but I take it as a challenge, cuz I know I'm better than the chances tell me!
                                                          no great gambler would even bet 50 cents on something with less than a 1 in 200 chance
