Wagering on 1 game a day vs Several games a day ??

[skjjb4]

I have debated this for years. My opinion is if you can pick one play a day and win nicely then go for it. I turned $200 into $1800 in about 7 weeks betting 10% of my bankroll. Occasionally I would make a second pick a day but not very often. It takes a very disciplined person to wager on only one game a day with so many choices out there. If you cannot pick the winner find a a service that offers one play a day that will win a majority of the time. There are a few services out there that can hit 65% consintently having a pod play. These might have a few days where there are no plays.
I will also say this I know of a service that offer the POD service plus other plays. The POD plays is up more units than his service plays, not by alot by still up. The problem with playing all plays is, what if they play 8 plays and go 5-3 don and you miss 2 games. what if the 2 games you miss win then you are down to a 3-3 day and out those winnings.

One thing is for sure, it's easier to make looong winning streaks when you pick 1 game/day. Going 8-0 in one day is not the same thing (it's harder) then going 8-0 for 8 consecutive days. (Going 1-0 each day)

Do you know how to use this:

That's my money-printing machine right now. I just go to Pinnacle and look at the lines, then I play anything with juice higher that -110 (at -105) or buy points depending on what would maximize my edge. I use the calculator to determine what my edge is. It's really not that complicated, it's like someone offering to sell you $1 bills for 94 cents, or 99 cents, or 92 cents, etc. You'r edge is not the same in all the bets but they all have an edge so when you bet so many games it all adds up.

That definitely seems like it would work, but how often are you at the computer to find all those plays? Or can you check just a couple times a day?

I usually scan the board about twice a day. But you will find those plays often even if you only check every other day or so. The proof is in the amount of plays I have made in the few weeks I have been doing this.

The number of bets within a ceratin timeframe is irrelevant as long as you think you've found value in the bets you're placing.

are you doing this for just cfb/nfl, or are you doing it with all the sports that you find a percentage edge on?

Yeah Cheme82...and are you ONLY doing ATS and totals where the vig is usually around -100 to -120? you basically look to see how far off your book is compared to Pinny's ATS / TOTAL line? Or do you look at Moneylines too, cuz moneylines can get dicey? Thanks!

I prefer just 1 or 2......usually no more than 3

I'm just doing NFL and CFB. Spread for whole game, quarters, halves, parlays, etc. If the well hasn't dried up by the time CBB and NBA start then I will do those as well.
