    One Bet A Day Keeps The Collector Away

    I was stupid at the beginning of this year and would just bet for the heck of it. I ended up either breaking even or losing money. So I have a new philosophy of having one solid bet a day and let the money pile up over time instead of trying to make it all in one night.

    nice hit! i cashed Gtown also. You're right about 1 solid bet a day. You will end up with more profit than losing it all in one day.

    I agree kman. I liked Illinois the minute I saw it. Unfortunately i waited until late to lock it in and lost half a point. Going against the tite of my thread, today I have two games I really like so it's a rare 2 team play.

    Duke -33
    Illinois -4.5

    Took a week off. I killed way too many brain cells between new years and the sugar bowl cheering on the Razorbacks. But conference play begins and this is when college basketball gets really fun.

    1/8
    Tennessee -1
    I'm a huge Arkansas fan, but the team this year is so terrible that no one knew we were playing Tennessee today until you look on the back page of the paper. Hogs play way out of control and Tennessee should win by 8.

    I like this approach but I get so greedy. I gotta find a way to play two and be through.
