#44I have to agree with Sam and Blaze ... You may eek out Detroit but a 2K bet (over 50% of your bankroll) against a tough Celts team that has blown out everyone recently? That's a tough one to swallow Miles. (No pun intended with the use of blown and swallow in the same thread) Not trying to be sh*tty, just scratchin' my head with the money management here. There are more favorable plays tonight imo. Good Luck man, I'll be on the Celts with a 5 unit play.Comment -

What has Detroit done to earn $2200 of your money!
This could be a horrible mistake, I don't want you to be doing this at the end of the night
Were all just thinking of you man, why not take a break tonight and read up on money management, as much as we don't like to hear it there is always the possibility of having nights where all our picks loose. If you use management its just a small loss, you live to fight another day and slowly but surely your bankroll rises. But the way your wagering, you could loose everything in one night.Comment -

#48Message to all newbies: do not confuse this thread with "$3000 experiment" by John Morr
Detroit is a solid pick tonight IMO, but to risk $2200 out of a $5000 bankroll is not good money management.
Miles, can you please clarify, is $5000 your entire bankroll, or just a chunk of money you have set aside for the purposes of this "experiment"? This is important to specify for anyone who may be trying to follow your picks.
good luck!Comment -

if this is not for real money, then this thread is a waste of space if miles is trying to demonstrate some sort of money management strategy.
Just post your picks without any amounts. Either you can pick winners or you can't, just don't pretend to try and turn a fake $5000 into a fake $20000 with bogus numbers. That would be like the guys who play on "fake money" tables in a poker room and think they can learn the game that way.
Either way, Miles, I hope you can pick winners!Comment -

Gotta agree with Bob, and i hope that We are right.
if we aren't, Miles has lost a few dollars in the past couple nights.Comment -

#60clips were a morrison play.
other than that the detroit pk could of been backed by the fact that some lines are 'too good to be true' which is only the case probably 15 percent of the time
i think this guy doesnt deserve all the bad rep hes getting. BOLComment -

Miles I hope you win I am not on the game. But let me ask you this, when you actually are dealing in real money, do not lose 60% of your $ in 2 weeks like you did here! Ok even if you win , honestly in real life would anyone risk all they had left of the $5000, and lose their priviledge to gamble...or would they tone it down and do smaller bets due to a horrible money management already.
Your bet percentages are unrealistic for someone who would like to stay in the game longer than 2 weeks with five grand! And that is true still even if you win! Terrible money management here...but GL...
If you win maybe you could be the new machine and write game over! If you lose this one...project over!!Comment -
