true but how high of a % do you think you'll hit over a full season? I'll bet anything you want that it'll be less than 65% and more than likely less than 60%. At those rates, you just aren't making much when you factor in the limited volume. I think the unit size question you mentioned is very interesting though and a good question. You have to decrease your per play amount but if you get in 3-4 times the plays at half the price then....Comment -
A master in finance? You mean you have a masters in Finance? I've been in finance my whole life as well and have my own degree in finance. You shouldn't have a problem understanding this stuff then. Would you rather have 1 house worth 5 million or a bunch of houses that add up to 5 million. Law of averages says that the 1 house has a much greater risk of failure than the bunch of houses. Just food for thoughtComment -
For all we know he's only posting premiums
it's all situational like everything else in life and I have learned over time
still learning from every mistake every day
a good capper knows how too cap themself
for me personally and many others don't have huge bankroll
all the numbers sound great but don't forget the human element
it's very hard to go 0-7 1-6 4-6 and not chase (especially if you paying your local every week) most win but then spend
maybe more importantly the emotions involved when capping the next day's games
i used to get mad when I pass on 6 leans and sweep
but self awareness is true intellengence
everything you say # wise sounds great, can be found in any book
shit I've been gambling my entire in life, it's all I know
up to very recently have I made strides in this department
still long way to go
always here if I can help an anyway
let's get this $,
-also when you lower units to bet more games going 5-1 +$80 feels like a loss more than a winComment -
Masters in Finance and that coupled with my real World experience makes me a Master of Finance.
Not if that 1 house is on prime real estate...and if it is 5m chances is it is.
The key to the equation here is the unit size. Personally I would bet 10 games in a week at 10k a piece than to do 100 at 1k. I personally think it is easier to find 10 with a great edge than 100. Just my 2 cents.
But don't get me wrong. You can go either way and have success. At the end of the day it is whatever works for the particular situation.

No offense but you aren't seriously betting $10K a game tailing others are you? I can't imagine anyone on SBR making regular plays of over 5K or soComment -
Stop cluttering up the thread guys, take it to player talk. Mainly TPowell, you have a tendency to rant and go off topic. Thats what player talk is for. Thanks guys and good luck. *no offense intended..."Comment -
bro, that's what player talk is for. Service plays is for....you know what, just nevermind. Exercising my ignore option. BOLComment -
Volume of plays is a strategy. some do very good by taking it slow and being selective...most guys get burned with too many plays and needing the action. (I'm guilty of this myself)...as we know, books are not easy to beat long term. Takes discipline not to look over a card and run out every play you like or lean to. Im impressed with this thread. He's posting winners and impacting plays. Best of luck and Continued success GGComment -
You guys should take the info given on these various threads and bet how you prefer.
I found this site several years ago, and starting many years before that I started taking a run at it from time to time, only to eventually lose, as most do. I would then sit out a couple years and dip my toes back in the water. Each time I've been more choosy and each time I find myself placing fewer of those "I knew I shouldn't have" bets. Last time I broke even after a few months and quit. The "entertainment" not worth the stress to me or my family.
I have been off here for a few years and just came back in a couple weeks ago. Kids are grown up and will be moved out in a few months, so here I am chilling and just having fun with it. No big stakes, few worries. I opened a 5Dimes account with $100. Ran it up to $160, then down to $60, then back up to $110. That's when I got back in here. I tailed a few of the wrong guys, started some of those bad habits again, and drained it down to $1.53. My bank denied the $100 I tried to put back in (guess they didn't realize where the $ was going the first time), so I said to hell with it, until I get that straightened out I'm going to really concentrate on making one good play per day. I bet my $1.53 on one game I really liked and won. Did that three more times and won, then started splitting it up a little. Took that $1.53 and turned it into $46, got stupid and down to $15. Now back up to $37. All in the last 2 1/2 weeks. When I was 22 years old I was betting up to $3000 per game with $500 rr parlays and it made me physically sick. This last couple weeks making $35 has been far more rewarding and enjoyable. I am tailing GG on all threads, phatdaddy204 on football, and using my own best picks.
The point is find something that works for YOU. If you go to covers, the guys who win all the contests and have the highest net units won bet almost all the games and try to hit 55%. I don't know whether or not they do well in other contests, but that's what wins. At the same time the guys who are still here and consistently win across multiple sports or from year to year seem to only put out 1-3 picks per day, like GG. Look at his bottom line. pretty damn good. Maybe a compromise would be to find the right guys to tail in the right sports, and tail for 3-5 units apiece, but also if you want the action, bet the rest of the board at 1 unit each. Just an idea.Comment -
Great post. Glad to hear your doing well and having fun with it. CheersComment -
As for me if i can make just $25-$50 with only 1 or 2 picks a day compared to 7-10 picks a day and come up negative i just stick to 1 or 2..nothing wrong with that...glComment -
What is so difficult for you people to understand? He is the gambling god and he does not care about being the best, making the most money, having the most plays or the best plays, or winning internet arguments.
He has two simple passions in life. They are, in no particular order:
1. Dancing, and
2. Counting the money

Lol, dude just stop. Linking a thread that says youre 8-1 but gives no record of the picks. Nobody cares about 8-1 either. Did that multiple times during some weeks this season. Means nothing in the long run. You're posting winners which is great but the greatest ever bullshit is getting old and is retarded as hell. Make some picks firstComment -
