need advices!!!

I used to bet a lot of games per day, end up a lot of games you betting base on your gut feeling rather than thorough check it out. Some rare lucky day, I hit more than lose.....but often than not I end up in RED....even the record at .500.

For now, I prefer to bet no more than 3 or 4 bets per day.

A friend once told me this, it's somewhat easier for him to go 1-0 in any giving day than have to try to go 2-0 or 3-0.

Someone on this forum once say this, selecting about 5 good plays that you like for a day. Try to take out the best 2 or 3 max and lay money on them.....not all 5. If you like them all, and couldn't pick out 2 or 3, then you should take that day off. Someone might disagree with this, but I like it.

Best of luck to whatever you decided to do buddy.

Just my 2 cents.

yeah good luck with that...

i usually bet all the games and always end up losing juice or losing alot and winning a little. and the reason for this is i don't know which game not to pick and which game to pick so i end up picking every game cause who really know which team is going to win one night.

so please give me some good advice.

It's always best to bet less games. The more you play the more you pay (juice wise). It's best to limit to 3 or less games and only increase games when your hot and reduce when your not.

I personally only bet 1-2 games a day..the Juice will kill you if your betting on all of them.

Bet less...make better decisions..

JNic · 02-17-10, 12:12 AM

yea def bet less

Sawyer · 02-17-10, 12:15 AM

It depends on your strategy.

I think you should play any pick if you think it's a valuable bet. Sometimes 1 play/day, sometimes 3 play/day.

There's some people who are playing lots of games. These guys don't have a high winning percentage and their yield/ROI is low but they're making money because of volume.

Me, I'm a selective capper. Be selective. Quality comes first, not quantity..

crazymilkman · 02-17-10, 12:20 AM

go for straight bet

SportNut · 02-17-10, 12:23 AM

Action junky is a bad idea....

sharpmoney · 02-17-10, 12:39 AM

I usually play 3 games maximium per day. The more games you play the more you have to win. Only had two plays for today and hit both. I'd play 3 or less per day and bet more on those games.

As for only playing one per day its either going to be a winning day or a losing day. And I think you would be leaving a bit on the table by only playing one per day. Gl to you.

less on less games.

michalis · 02-17-10, 12:42 AM

send me your money and i'll bet for you

Mac4Lyfe · 02-17-10, 12:43 AM

One strategy that has worked for me is to find 1 or 2 games and bet a team you feel has good value and play them in several quarters and halfs. Let's say your on team A. You take Team A for the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 1st half and game line. That's 4 plays on one team and if they play well they can cover all bets. But if they're playing like shit you can go 0-4 as well... I much rather do that then bet 4 different teams.

Money Management is key in this game

DOMINATER · 02-17-10, 01:06 AM

the old school guys from 50 years ago believed betting 1 game per weekend, they felt there was always 1 game that was a standout, better to bet one game,than , bet 5 ,lose 3 ,win 2 ,your down,

I see you have gotten alot of advice here... The problem is most have no clue. This game is not about win % it strictly about winning units. I couldn't tell you my win% nor do I care. I go off units. In order to be a winner at this game takes time and you have to pay for your education. You would be better off to devote your time in getting a doctorate degree or starting your own business because there are no shortcut answers are magical formula anyone can give you.

MONEY MANAGEMENT 101

Lets say you have 1K bank 1 Unit for you is $10 dollars and play probably no more than max 3 units if you are a beginner.

The Key is to win your best bets at a high percentage. It's easier said than done for most. I live to hit my big bets personally and the rest of the time I am pretty much treading water.

Tonite for instance I made 9 NBA bets. That's all I play. I went 5-4 and made just some sugar money.. Nothing really moved me. You need to learn what moves you. Better... what wins and nobody is going to tell you that.

Like I said... your better off devoting your time and energy into something that is more productive like a higher education or starting your own business.

Me personally I have a higher education and my own business and this (gambling) is more challenging accomplishing any of what I mentioned.

Good Luck to you

Bet on less game.

tonyhomo · 02-17-10, 01:27 AM

If you think you have an edge on 20 games,
then bet all these 20 games.
If you only have an edge on one game bet only one game
it is that simple.

SportNut · 02-17-10, 01:41 AM

Don't bet!!!!

THE PROFIT · 02-17-10, 01:46 AM

I use a totals system I've been following for a while. It hits at an ungodly percentage. I may go 5-1, 6-2, 4-1, I think the worse in about 3 weeks was 8-5 on a sat, but if I were to bet just one or 2 it would be those 2 losers. That's why I've lost all my points, I just pick one & bet it & that hasn't worked well at all. If you are using a system you have to play them all, just use a system with filters that doesn't shit out every game on the board, only 4-6 on a regular day no more than 10 on a big day & don't pick & choose, put a flat amount on all

I actually agree with Grandmaster here. And that is rare.

Did anyone else feel the earth tilt on its axis?

2-3 bets a day at 2-3% rate! If that is 1-2 units for some or 3-5 units for the rest, that I couldn't care less about, its all about the money

When building a BR I think 4-6% since you have less to lose, meaning only bet 4-6% if you can afford to lose!

That's an interesting approach.

TheChet · 02-17-10, 08:41 AM

it all depends, some people will bet $100 a gm on 4 plays
others may do $50 a gm on 8 plays
all is personal preference, there is no right or wrong way
