    How many games a night do you boys bet on avg??
    For me, during NBA, NHL, NFL season, college sports.... i bet on avg about 25 games a night, including totals.. or close to 200 games a week.

    Baseball season-- 12-14 games a day.


    I wonder if i am only one like this, or do most people here bet like 1 or 2 games a night?

    How many games a night do you guys bet on avg?

              I really only try to bet with its +EV...but when I really like something, I go for it so probably about 1-4 games on average.

                  i'm an action junkie archie.. i bet almost every game on the board.. i always find edges on every game, whether i bet it early, OR with my locals around game time.. they play around with their lines and usually give me good #'s to bet so i bet other side and balance their action..

                    nicky you are a sick fukking gambler pal

                    do you sweat the scores and stuff for all games or wait until they are over to grade them

                    you must have 20 heart attacks a night, i cant believe you have a girlfriend she must really like the money you bring in

                        i dont sweat the games. i check in every 1 hr to see how i'm doing.. too many games to follow at one time..

                        my locals only open up from 6 to 8 pm.. i usually call em up right around game time and ask them which side they want me to take and they give it to me at 10 cents better.. it makes us both happy.. i get a good price and they lay off a lot to me and minimize their risk.

                              I can recall a few nights in summer having like 6 espn gamecasts on my screen cascaded, so i could see each score...if it changed..

                              and i'm watching a movie 15 feet away with my gf, and i'd constantly be looking over towards the laptop...if I was losing more the winning, i'd not be able to pay attention to the movie any more..

                              so i decided in in mid aug.. to stop that shit..

                              I often don't watch a game I bet even when it is live on tv

                                I need to practice that...I try to follow them all then get pissed off easily if a game or 2 are going bad and feel like I am getting crushed when in actuality I hit a solid 38%.

                                    Usually 2 or 3 races per day, maybe 4 or 5 on the weekends when there are more races or stakes races...

                                    Planning to get into baseball betting this year; I plan to isolate 2 or 3 baseball plays per day at that time...

                                      10 cents better ? why don't they lay off at betfair, matchbook or pinnacle ?

                                              I probably average about 5-7 a day, use to bet only a few and I did better then.

                                              Nicky bets to win and does not just have one side on lots of games

                                                    For me, during NBA, NHL, NFL season, college sports.... i bet on avg about 25 games a night, including totals.. or close to 200 games a week.

                                                    Baseball season-- 12-14 games a day.


                                                    I wonder if i am only one like this, or do most people here bet like 1 or 2 games a night?

                                                    How many games a night do you guys bet on avg?
                                                    I challenged you in a contest of 3000 plays for a year and you said it will take 3 years so it's too long.

                                                    200 x 52 weeks/yr = 10,000 plays.

                                                      i dont have a min. or max ....it all depends on the number i get in each game
                                                      i could bet anywhere from 1-40 bets in one night

                                                        paver,

                                                        if i was going to be in a contest for 50,000 bucks, i would only have played maybe 25 of the 500 plays. since i had 3 yrs, i could now hand pick my games and only take the strongest ones, and leave the mediocre ones alone.. since i have 3 yrs and not 30 days like this contest.

                                                          1 or 2 game a day on average. Some days I'll pass and have no bets, some days I'll hit 3 maybe 4 games.

                                                            i use to be an action junkie. Bet anything from 7-10 games a day. When its like week 16 in the NFL and you got ncaa hoops and nba i could be around 25 games a day. My cash flow was so up and down i couldnt take it. So now i limit myself to at MOST 3 games a day. I havent had a losing week in 11 straight weeks since "i controlled" myself. I am always composed now watching the games i play and just pick a lot more winners

                                                              ...i believe you shouldnt put a limit on how many games you play in a night

                                                              instead look into how many games tha you can get a good edge on a game
                                                              a good number
                                                              if its only 1 game then fine ....if its 25 games then thats fine also

                                                              the key is getting the best number

                                                                  Plays that I actually wager a unit or more on, I make a strong effort to keep in the single digits, although admittedly it's usually between six and nine.

                                                                  Plays that I place for entertainment value at a $20 stake size are usually all the TV games that are on. I always have sports on when I'm cooking and cleaning, or even playing video games with the boyfriend, and I find it enhances the game to have $20 on it in some fashion.

                                                                  It's become even more enjoyable since Nicky taught me that it's a coin-flip in the long run, so I don't really handicap those games, I just play my gut feeling. That actually makes those wagers my favorites, since it's not my ability to quantify the matchup that's determined by the outcome, it's just my instincts as a gambler. I have no problem with having bad gambling instincts, but I sometimes take it personally when I team I feel should dominate a game ends up getting dominated themselves.

                                                                  Originally posted by StraitShooter
