    Assuming that "strong" meaning the play that have mathematical edge, how we can even have a question if more plays with an edge (per day, or per year, or per minute for that matter) will make more or less money? How can it be less?
    How putting more money to work with an advantage can make less money than putting less money to work with an advantage?

    Something is missing here. Can you help to make a little more sense out of your question?

          You are editing your posts converting them into one word from questions and thoughts you had posted earlier.
          I guess you think that the less you say the better it is for you.

          I would have to agree.

              One pick a day is probably even too much. At least in my experience. Obviously, that changes by time of the year.

              When NFL, NCAAFB/BB and NBA are all going on, even with discipline, it's next to impossible to not have multiple plays every day.

              Especially with NCAAFB (my absolute weakness, love gambling on it - as that is the sport I have spent the most time developing edges and systems and line making techniques). Those Tuesday/Wednesday shit games are like crack to me. Can't get enough. And god forbid it's a home dog under the lights on a weekday - impossible to resist a big play.

              Anyway, in all seriousness - I was a daily gambler up until this season, and like everyone else here - if you wanted to know if I am up it becomes a long story of ridiculous reasoning.

              Since switching to spot plays - I have been wildly successful in comparison to years prior. That has meant I have gone weeks without a single play. Hell, yesterday was my first day betting baseball.

              I am starting to fall back into a trap. I've had back to back days of multiple bets. Although, the bet amounts are a fraction of what I lay for my spot play.

              Spot betting, only way to make cash in this industry/hobby - IMO.

                I could not agree more as it relates to my handicapping and wagering tendencies. I put a thread up this morning wondering how many on sbr have come to the same conclusion. I think as a matter of attrition to be a long lived sports handicapper you must exercise discipline with your money. The rub is finding your "groove" and being confidant but not unrealistic. Very tough to do and be profitable over the years. Keep in mind that there's a reason the casinos are bigger than our houses.
