Very difficult for most gamblers to learn...losses are going to happen, obviously every bet any of us make we have a certain expectation of cashing. Having realistic expectations/goals and disipline is paramount for success.
My #1 goal is to not lose money and have to pay my book, it is not to win life changing money.
Side note on this thread, it is a riot how you 2 guys (Tham/Bank) are battling over who gets to start the daily thread 1st. Riot. Maybe one of you should start Tues. right now. Thanks to both of you for doing this though.Comment -

If we see it hasnt been made yet and we have thoughts to share or disccus, we create it. I think it has benefitted a ton of folks here. Probably one of the more productive sub forums on the site at the moment. And we have been able to keep drama out (amazed).Comment -

I agree...I am not a great bettor by any means...lean toward the "you suck" side actually. ()
I have been able to stay even for the past 3 months, which is not easy to do either. I know some have had success, but there is no easy formula. I have had less and less time to research and watch games this year compared to last...just trying not to chase if I have a bad beat or lose and get upset.
What I have found is that less bets is better (for me)...be selective and I need at least 1 day per week to not bet anything...usually Sundays - I usually feel better with that day to not think and recover from the fatigue of betting...yes, I get tired doing it every day...it's draining especially if you think about the games for more than half the day and end up losing or staying even.Comment -

#432dabank.. PC had problems at Marquette.. either Mar is better than we thought
or PC was just due to let one go. Tough winning on the road. Dunn and Lindsey
played poorly. Henton was up for it but the team never took control.
What do you think about them going to Butler now ? The line should be cheap
considering the loss at Marquette and being another conference road game.
If PC can stop the 3 Butler shouldn't be able to hang.. but I'm just wary of any
road bet.. and don't know what the calls will be like..
have you thought about this game tomorrow ?Comment -

#44Here is what I posted in my college hoops thread re the ND/UNC game tonight:
UNC -8.5 -110 3x
Books open with 11-3 UNC as an 8.5 pt favorite against a 14-1, higher-ranked Notre Dame team.
ND's record comes against mostly weak competition. Best win is a one-point overtime victory at home against a Michigan State team that has since fallen from the rankings. Sole loss is a one-point, highish-scoring affair against a decent Providence, on a neutral court. Offensively they have been very productive, but defensively very mediocre. They have predictably blown out all the cupcake opponents. Halfway decent lesser opponents have scored in at least the sixties. And similar level opponents have all put up 70+. Their rebounding has not been very good. They have multiple guys who can and do shoot the three and they are hitting at a decent percentage, however they have not shot the three particularly well against their strongest opponents.
UNC has had some ups and downs so far, but that's typical of Roy Williams-coached UNC teams. Their sole home loss this season was a tightly contested, low-scoring affair against a very solid Iowa team. Not a bad loss. Good wins against Florida and Ohio State. Won against UCLA who was ranked at the time but now has been sucking, but they did blow them out regardless. They are very productive offensively, putting up 80+ ppg similar PPG to ND, probably more productive than ND adjusting for strength of competition. They are a great rebounding team, do not shoot the three ball well and do not really take as many threes in the first place. Spread the ball around well.
Big situational factors here. This is Notre Dame's first true road game, and they are going into a tough road environment at UNC, in one of these early-in-the-new-year games where nearly all of the students are back and packing the arena, especially when hosting a higher-ranked opponent. ND is also coming off a double-OT win just yesterday. UNC played yesterday as well, but it was an easy victory at Clemson, and they are now coming home. Books opened the line so high for a reason. This is a classic spot situation you see repeated season after season.
UNC should get off to a fast start. ND could keep up and make it a high-scoring track meet type game to keep it close, but I think UNC will be able to contain them defensively. The environment should affect ND, likely to see them be off on the 3-point game and just all-around out of sync. UNC gets off to an early lead and runs away with it.
i like 1h (-4) - and i am a 1h bettor for sure - but the legs on notre dame for the long haul intrigue me.Comment -

#45what about e. tennessee st @ -4.5. 10% better ft shooting team, battle tested, wins on road, reliant on the 3. samford has no size to take advantage, fouls quite frequently, and has no 3% defense...seems pretty cut and dry. what answer does samford have for jalen riley?Comment -

#49my fast easy answer to why i wouldnt play them is similar to hofstra on sat. 1st and foremost i hate laying road chalk on very bad defensive teams and east ten is exactly that... then there that whole 3 point reliant thing, that another type team im not very fond of laying road wood with..so just off top there 2 reasons i wouldnt have any interest in playing them.. not saying it wont hit just a certain way i go about things and part of making my daily card in a sport with so many gms is process of elimination.Comment -

fwiw i parlayed both e. tenn and unc ml for even money. good value me thinks.Comment -

#57right. and i feel the same. i hope everyone wins and we have productive talks that lead to easier decisions.
i was just trying to say obviously what you're saying is your opinion. and i appreciate it, good or bad, from anyone (usually). and obviously you don't know if it will hit or not, but because of a$shole troll idiots on the internet, everyone has to add 'imo' or some variation thereof in their posts. i just wanted it to be known that im not a clown and can handle a discussion. no chest beating or e-dik measuring on this end.
it goes beyond just your post. i see it online everywhere. 'IMO' is such a redundant thing to say, and it only exists because majority of people are idiots, and want someone to point the finger at when they don't get their way. i hate it personally.Comment -

#61i gotta play Ou+6.5..hopefully they can hold their own on the glass as they certainly at a size disadvantage here. they held their own vs a very good rebounding baylor team and think they can enough here. they should hold a big adv in quickness and if holmes is playing the 3 he gonna have a hard time matching up with held or cousins on the defensive end. like i said earlier i think this a one possession type gm so gimme the points, decnt chance i even sprinkle the ml, dunno yet..Comment -
