Ever get a payout?

[zentiense]

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.

maybe because you suck

Where are your tracked plays, bossman?

[Tsoprano]

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

How much you think your down since you started?

[laxdjock]

They have a spreadsheet option here.

very well said.i was just about to say the same thing.

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.

[zentiense]

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...

Hitting over 50% doesnt mean crap

[bbyhill]

Waiting on a payout from BetJam now.

dude your killing me im laughing my ass off.you re right its easy to hit over 50% when you dont bet real money.

[zentiense]

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

[AGENT99]

a few years ago some tout had his dog pick the plays for him and he hit 60% for the year.

[zentiense]

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

[laxdjock]

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.

[zentiense]

Nice job

[AGENT99]

dude nobody cares about you betting 10 dollars a game.big deal you lost get over it stop sitting there feeling sorry for yourself.i will send you 10 dollars so you can build your roll back up.feel better now?

[zentiense]

Haha, okay, w/e. Thanks for the cash.

/thread close

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.

[laxdjock]

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

[zentiense]

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.

[unit1884]

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

[zentiense]

I'll look into it -- haven't heard of this before. Thanks.

[pat venditto]

kelly is for squares

[FreeFall]
