    you should listen to this rich boy character- he and the other guys telling you this stuff are not wrong. but he worded in a non-asshole way. that way you an be in it for the long haul. not to take anything away from the run youre on now.

    money management is the single most important aspect of sports betting. even more than the research. which is the second most important.
    Those 2 guys can choke on this rooster


    I have been dominating for 7 weeks now with the nba playoffs included


    They can keep hating and ill keep doubling my bankroll. Oh and I'm not stupid, I know about money management.

    The Rock....


    Toss your Fellow Wrastling pal a Winner, and how much you got riding on it?

    I've been doing shitty betting +140 - -130 bets, I need to find a winner outside those numbers.

    THANKS.

    What a clown.

    Goes all-in, yet claims to have bankroll management
    Thinks 2 weeks of plays is a worthwhile indicator
    Believes that posting plays gives him bad luck
    Completely ignores sound advice given to him by those who've been around the block
    Plays 20 cent baseball lines
    And is cocky to boot

    I think you sent the PM to the wrong person.

    I'm 2-8 since Wednesday...I need a winner tonight.

    Thanks Rock, maybe we can go grab stone cold and slam some brewskis with him if the bet wins.

    Thanks look forward to following your picks...If you can keep this run up for a couple more days, I may sign up if you decide to go tout.


    BOL, and send me that pick.

    I wish I was your bookie

    PS: Brewers may be 35-3 in last 38 games but it doesn't mean they will go 35-3 in next 38 games..

    PS 2: You like favourites and probably you're making money by betting favourites because we're on July&August period. When September comes in, you will hate these big priced favs. Laying heavy chalk is quick recipe to poorhouse.

    You shouldn't be looking at lines before betting. Try this at home. Look at the matchups. Then cap the game. Then pick the winner. When you go to your book to bet it look at the line. Some days you will pick a fav and some days you will pick a dog. If you are strictly betting favs or strictly betting dogs you are going to lose at the end. The line doesn't play the game. The players, coaches and umpires determine the outcome of the game..not the fav or dog line.

    This.

    There's no value in big faves. But there is money to be made.
    That's why I couldn't stand the dimwit who used to rail about "value" plays in everyone's thread. It's about picking and choosing your spots on big faves. I play faves A LOT, ask my bookie, but I consistently make a profit. You can't play faves every day and you can't parlay them (I learned this the hard way).

    Anyways, Brewers were the gold mine v. Pirates. Wish I had seen this earlier but I was expecting Brewers to regress. Next time!

    If its that easy start a thread and just post the big favorites you like. You'll be buried in no time risking so much to get so little in return.



    And when will people learn that the bookies make there money either way. They juice both sides. If you do the math and calculate the odds to percentages its over 100%. Hints why they moves line to try and even sides out

    The line doesn't play the game but why you think you're going to lose at the end by strictly betting dogs? You can make money over long haul by strictly betting dogs.

    I never understood bettors proclaiming that the will not lay over -140 or -150, claiming it is too risky and unprofitable.
    These people have no real rationale to support such a claim and their thinking stems from a limited knowledge of the mathematical precepts that determine measured value.

    Or in other words I'd be willing to lay -200 on a proposition that my work tells me has a 3 to 1 chance of winning, much more so than laying -120 when my work predicts odds of 7 to 5.

    You still have to do your own capping and come up with your own odds as compared to the actual line, and it is not as simple as looking at who's pitching and who's hot, you have to look at everything, come up with what you think are the true odds and compare that with the actual line.

    Good topic BTW

    But it works both ways. Especially teams like Philly, NY and Boston who are "already in" will be resting people. Betting big favorites in spots is fine. It's great if you love two big favs in a night and can parlay them. Takes the sting out.

    Those lines will work out sometimes, if you bet every one and the % rate is correct yea, but I hardly believe someone takes them every time, so their % rate is lower than the actual outcomes of the games.

    If you played only -200 favs you need to hit nearly 67% to break even. Fuge that.

    Here's what you can expect blind betting favorites by month. Notice the transition between July and August. No filters included just raw data and a rather large one...2k+ games.

    Just some food for thought.

    # games W-L (marg, % win) $ On $ Against MONTH


    2738 1494-1244 (0.51, 54.6%) -25550 10975 4
    2741 1569-1172 (0.57, 57.2%) -22508 5978 9
    3069 1740-1329 (0.60, 56.7%) -15264 -503 6
    2855 1670-1185 (0.75, 58.5%) -10030 -5565 8
    387 214-173 (0.34, 55.3%) -3876 1833 10
    22 14-8 (1.41, 63.6%) -45 -105 3
    4 3-1 (1.75, 75.0%) 130 -140 11

    Brah, do you realize how awesome you'd be if you actually realized how huge of a luckbox you are and learned how to handicap for real? You'd have a $4,000 starting point which is awesome for someone who sucks at handicapping. Then you could actually learn how to do this and then continue to make money.

    p.s. this is AWESOME! It's so hilarious that we are going to get to watch you lose $4,000 and when that happens I'll quote the shit out of this post just to ruin your life.
