I have a tip. Run.

[Crate Mayne]

Tip #1... Don't bet on games just because games are being played. Quickest way to lose your bankroll. Actually know the teams you're backing.

i hear you. i feel in love with the nets +1 when i heard of all the bulls injuries but i didnt know how bad deron williams fell off and how the nets are just a terrible team in general.

don't go nuts with the parlays.. they are almost always a sucker bet and will put you on unnecessary tilt. Picking 1 winner is hard enough most of the time, let alone trying to pick 3 or more and they all have to win

I hear ya, I won big with Nets tonight too. Don't see why anyone backed Bulls knowing half their team is injured/sick

1.) pick certain teams to bet on and only bet on that team, and only in the right matchups.
2.) only bet on excellent teams like Duke Basketball, Alabama football, etc.
3.) College sports are a better bet than pro's IMO.
4.) Great coaching beats great talent when it comes down to it.
5.) Don't ever count on a team to cover the spread. Athletes do not give a damn about covering the spread.
6.) Remember that while you are betting on athletes to win a game, those athletes are just doing their job out there and don't always care about winning and a good bit of them could honestly care less at all. They made it to the show so who cares, is their viewpoint. Example: Alex Rodriguez makes almost $241,000.00 every single game. Whether he hits 3 home runs that game or strikes out looking every at bat, he still makes almost a quarter of a million a game not matter what. If you lose a bet on the Yankees because he choked, he could care less.
7.) Don't bet the NBA, brothas are the hardwood the absolute worst athletes to count on. College is different because at the school's where the athletes stay there (i.e.: not Kentucky), the coach still has control over these clowns. Guy's like Tom Izzo and Coach K can still give these brothas instructions.
8.) Hope you are friends with a pro athlete so he can maybe throw you a bone every now and then. Like if you're boy's with Bryce Harper maybe he won't hit a HR that night so you can win your prop bet on him.

1) Pick the highest amount you would be able to lose seven times in a week and be able to continue your life without any changes.

2) Bet that amount every game you decide to bet on. No exceptions.

3) Go with your gut when it agrees with logic and reason. Never your ego, nor the greed that comes with it. They can often seem like the same thing, but when you learn to seperate the two you will be able to be happy with your bets.

4) Discipline. Don't chase a bad bet. You will do it. Don't do it after that. If you feel you have an edge, make the bet. If you want to recover your losses from the previous bet with ideology that you're 50/50 to make it back, kick yourself. Learn to spot the difference between the two.

I dont know shit about NBA and didnt watch a game all year. I watch one playoff game and am making a mint now. Especially if warriors get this one

[trevor123698]

**i sit back and watch a few games before betting then pick them off all playoffs long. The team to get on is memphis especially against spurs and in the finals vs miami. March madness is always a money maker for this as well
