Finally, someone who actually answers the question correctly on how to win @ gambling.

When I hear people preach about having to be selective when betting regular 11/10 propositions as the key to winning @ gambling, it makes me want to pull my hair out.

#5 and #8 are the 2 most important things on Fishhead's list and I would add a #13.

Forget about betting individual games and concentrate on season long propositions where the lines are much softer and far easier to beat.

#14 = Live in-game betting

I got 300-1 tonight on the Indy/NY Giants game going over 48 when there was 2 minutes to go in the game.

The Giants had one time out left which means Indy could not kneel and run out the clock.

Also, after the turnover when the Giants had the ball on Indy's 30 with 2 minutes to go, there was $2,000 being offered on the over 48 @ +500. I need to "grow a pair" as I only took $500 of the $2,000 even though I knew the correct line was below +200.

So many incredible opportunites on the live betting side which is why I can only laugh when people talk about grinding out pennies chasing steam.
