    Wagering Question
    It seems you guys wager on something every day, must not be wagering alot or must have loads of cash? I dont wager on something every day lost quite a bit during the football season on what seemed like sure wins, like WV vs. South Florida, Cal vs. Arizona yeah u get my drift, was just wondering if you guys bet small amounts every day or big amounts to maximize profits or how do you do it.

    The key is to be selective bud no matter what your unit size might be.

      Can't speak for the big guns like Dan but I bet small amounts. Just ask the IRS agents that spent the last few years with me.

            unit is a general.. ahem, unit to make bet sizes irrelevant when comparing results. for example donald trump and myself take up a competition in sports betting, who is capable of generating more % profit on his investment. obviously donald has no fun betting a minimum of $10 on games like i do, so he always bets at least a minimum of $100,000. so it could be said that my betting unit is $10 and donald's is $100,000. if i have a particularly good feeling on a bet, i say to donald, i will bet 5 units on this one, which will be $50. donald may bet 3 units, which is $300,000, simply because he doesnt have quite as good feeling about it as me. but as you bet different number of units on different things, you win different amounts of money. when you divide your total profits into your unit, that's how many units you have made a profit. after a few weeks, it could be for example 7.56 units profit for me, and 5.56 units profit for donald. i seemingly have outpeformed donald trump, but since donald's betting unit is 100k, he profited $556,000, while my profit is $75.6.

            but i'm sure my d**k is still bigger than donald trump's, so that helps me sleep well at night.
