Hello Forum,

My names Andrew I am 18 going on 19 and ready to break through my immature betting styles.
I have had a lot of trouble since i was 16 betting on sports and even some poker and its time to change that.
On this thread i will be keeping track of my picks/predicitons and also some goals i have set in my lifestyle and in my gambling. I have seen this work well for poker players and thought i would try and bring it into sports handicapping and that is setting goals. Here are some inspirational quotes that help me see this, as a necessary step.

Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
Denis Watley

Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.
Fitzhugh Dodson

I feel that the most important step in any major accomplishment is setting a specific goal. This enables you to keep your mind focused on your goal and off the many obstacles that will arise when you’re striving to do your best.
Kurt Thomas

You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures.
Charles C. Noble

In life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are.

I will be setting goals both long term and short term to help me achieve some success in sports handicapping.
