    Is right now a good time to take a little break???

    Been on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs as of late. Been so close to being up big and now I'm back down.


    Just trying to think "big picture" here. What I don't want , is to get in a big hole and not be able to bet come March Madness and baseball season.

    But on the other hand is this time period right now a golden opportunity? Is it easier to win in college hoops before they start playing on neutral courts?

    This is usually the slowest time of the year up until March. You would be wise to bet no more than 3-4 games a week until March Madness. Then baseball season.

    yeah I am trying to debate between setting aside half my pay check on betting this week or waiting until march. I never thought I would say this but I think I might take a short break.

    Betting can be very stressful, i can't think about anything else if a game is going on that I have money on.

    Its not the slowest time of the year

    Everyday packed with action

    Every Saturday is 100x more than March madness

    but if you want to some time off this is a good time

    Agreed. Now is when there is plenty of action and IMO the best time to wager college hoops. NBA and NHL on the side. The time is now.

    only 4 more regular season games left for college bball. I would bet the first round of conference tourneys where you can find an edge. than just lay off and enjoy the madness. lines are razor sharp during conf tourneys and every game is insane gets flipped upside down turned inside out, no capping the madness of conf tourneys.

    Lmao. Funny how easy it is to take a break when there are no games left for the night but how hard it is the next morning when there is another slate of beautiful games.

    "best" time to take a break is the beginning of the season for each sport until you can get a better feel for teams

    i gotta stay hot to make my money in march. college hoops is my best sport, and the conference tourneys are where ive made the most money. cant let myself cool off right before that starts

    but everyones different do whatever is best for you pal

    Pacers are a solid squad; will bring their A game for the Heatles
    Ohio State possible look-ahead @UM?
    LSU looked pretty bad against an undermanned Bama

    Wouldn't go too big on this, parlays always seem too easy

    do you take a break from breathing?
    do you take a break from eating?
