Oops...the EDIT was because I already had the BOS/DEN game (Over 2nd half) as a loss....didn't really think it would go to double OT. Above record is now correct with 5 games to go today.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 02-10-13, 10:11 PM

Wow.....Rick Nash scores from 40 feet out on a wrist shot with 8 seconds left to kill my Rangers bet.....NHL, why do I bother with you?

Well.....a couple of killer defeats today. Rangers goal with 8 seconds left, but the bad one is the Houston Rockets, leading by 10 in the 4Q, losing.........they hang on to that lead and I have a monster day......even after losing the $440 on Seton Hall to start the day.

You'll never profit betting that many games kid.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 02-11-13, 10:15 AM

Ended up profitting $125......it has been a bit of a slow go....but at least I am headed in the right direction.

Lucky to only finish down $51 for the day again.,...that's the second day in a row that I have lost my College Hoops plsy of the day....those two plays cost me $715. See you tomorrow!

**El Nino** · 02-12-13, 02:29 AM

Glad the tails worked, but 12 plays a day is too much volume if you're practicing proper BRM.

The various amounts for each game is also killing your profit. Two college losses for $715. You would actually win money if you risked $55 or $110 on William and Mary. Did you really think it had 5 times a greater chance of winning than any of the other bets? You should standardize your bet amount. Increase it by a percentage if you really love it (ex 1 unit + 50% more). Since you have such a high volume of bets you should ensure a profit if you have a winning day (better than 55% wins). Just a suggestion. Good luck to you.

**Broncos** · 02-12-13, 02:51 AM

Just to do the math today you were 10-6. You say you lost $51 total. If you standardized your bets to win 50 @ -110. You should have won $170 not lost $51. I would take 10-6 all day, every day.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 02-12-13, 09:59 AM

Thanks for the advice....I am new to this and will take all of the advice I can get. I will try and use 1, 2 and 3 unit plays for the next while (maybe $50 per unit?).....or maybe try $50, $75 and $100?

As for an earlier comment about BR management, I NEVER put out more than 5% of my BR on any single bet. I know that I bet more games than many think is smart, but I am up over $5,000 in 35 days, so it seems to have been working so far.....and by that I certainly am not saying that I have anything figured out.....it would just be weird to be winning consistently and in mid-stride adjust the strategy I am using....flawed or not.

You may not be putting more than 5% of your BR on any one play, but when you have 12-16 plays in at one time, you very well could have a quarter of your BR or more in play for the day. As Broncos stated, you shouldn't be losing $ going 10-6. If that is happening, what happens when you go 2-14? Make your unit size 2.5% to 3.5% of your BR, number your unit plays 1-5. For daily sports and multi sport betting, the highs won't get too high and the lows won't get too low. If you are a winning capper, you will grind out a profit. If you're spot betting, you can obviously be looser with your unit sizing. For the amount of volume you're betting, a few bad days and some good ol' variance and you can lose your whole roll in a few days. Basic BRM will take you far in betting daily sports
