    Ever get a payout?
    I'm not convinced anyone has ever received a payout. Why? Everyone loses.

    I've only put money in -- never yanked it out.

    Vegas always wins.

        I receive many payouts, and hope everyone else does too.

        How much you think your down since you started?

              Well I started with $150 about three monthes ago -- built it and built it until $1200 this past weekend (was going to cash out $1000 at $2000 and play with house money) but then basically lost everything sunday to today. Check out my spreadsheet -- it was sick. Up about 92 units and then BAM I go 7-17 since Sunday (including 12 game losing streak). I was hotter than fux in NCAAB -- then using the same criteria I go cold as fux. Literally I was tracking the plays I personally capped at 60-26. Now huge losing streak and I'm back down below where I was beginning last Monday. Crazy how this game works.

              I also rode with you on Sunday and lost, Tsop. I only cap basketball and thought I'd follow you on foots. Tough luck I catch your one bad day.

                Guys, check my spreadsheet. I've tracked myself diligently for over 500 plays. So...don't tell me I suck unless you're man enough to put 500+ plays up.

                Kthnx.

                  Oh yeah, did I mention I am hitting over 50%? So you can't really say I suck if I'm hitting over 50% after 500+ plays...that's a much better sheet than some guys around here...

                          Your mother doesn't mean crap -- now unless you have something worthwhile to contribute GTFO.

                              It's real cash. But maybe not, since it's basically just funds transferred from the govt anyway.

                                I regularly pick 65% in CFB, but I doubt I could do that over multiple seasons.....already creeping back to the middle, after I was close to 70% for awhile. %'s start to have meaning when you do it for years.

                                        It is easier to evaluate someone by looking at their avg. bet, compared to their net units and win %....$ don't matter as much. I only bet a fraction of what I use to, but that doesn't make me good/bad at capping, as I due it purely for entertainment.

                                            u can be a 90% capper and still go broke. You should only bet 1% of your account balance per bet dont be a square **** like big boy dan. hes pan handling in houston texas right now to make up for his -20 unit day.

                                              I agree with the small % of your bankroll, b/c when people bet 50% of their bankrolls, they make stupid plays.

                                                I'm still up 51.66 units from where I began -- I'm not gone -- just going through a rough patch is all. All I'm trying to say is "damn it sucks when you lose 50 units in a few days." That's it.

                                                And I rarely make a bet larger than 6 units anyway -- but naturally, to keep the spreadsheet accurate, as I grew the bankroll and upped the standard betting rate I retained the initial unit count. So, really, 3-4 units might actually be equivalent to 1 bet unit. I made the initial unit size based on the $150 I had in the tank at the time. When I got over $500 it was definitely time to up the ante just a hair. Naturally when I got over $1000, it was time to up it again. Throughout it all, 1 unit still equaled the same amount of dollars -- only I was betting more than 1 unit to keep up with the "standard" 2.5% per bet. 2.5% went from 1 unit to maybe 3 as bankroll tripled, etc. Simple math.

                                                  If you feel you can quantify your edge, you should bet Kelly style instead of a fixed percentage.
