Like clockwork, I got my ass handed to me this weekend

[No coincidences]

First "full" weekend of action this season (NBA, college hoops, NFL and college football at the same time), and sure enough -- like every year -- I got destroyed trying to bet all four cards.

I was up 40.9U in the NFL heading into today. Lost 10.5 units.

I was up 19.75U in the NBA heading into Saturday. Lost 4.35 units. Took Sunday off.

I was up 1.85U in college basketball heading into Saturday. Lost 7.05 units. Took Sunday off.

I was down 0.77U in college football heading into Saturday. Lost 6.55 units.

Saturday was my problem. I'm trying to cap these games at my normal pace, but it's virtually impossible with games in three sports going on at once. Saturday night is also typically a big night for my NFL research, but that got cut short and I lost accordingly today.

I'm not saying there isn't variance and bad luck mixed in here -- I had some really weird losses over the weekend. But I also know that, every year at this time, I start spreading myself way too thin, the cards get huge, and the profits start to dwindle. This is my fourth season of gambling in all four of these sports, and it happens like clockwork.

So how do I combat this problem? I know there are guys out there who, like me, regularly bet all four sports. How do you deal with the overlap, especially on Saturdays? How do you pick and choose your spots? I obviously need to be more selective than usual, but that's not really my style. I also know, though, that it's hard enough to win one bet, let alone try to beat a full card in four sports virtually at once.

Any advice would be appreciated, because I can't keep banging my head against the wall every November and expect a different result. I just don't think I have the time or energy to juggle four sports at once.

had a decent Saturday and got absolutely buried today as well, the late games+NBA ruined my day

[greenhippo]

Too many games my friend. With everything going I made 3 bets the entire weekend.

Easy way to solve the overlap, just glance over the lines, 3 or 4 of them will stick out. Do some work on those and slim it down to 1 or 2. Once it's set don't look at lines anymore, don't check to see if you beat the closing line, it doesn't matter because your bet is made. Rinse and repeat the next day. Besides live betting I don't think I've had more than 3 bets going on at the same time.

I really need to get as close to this point as possible, because the way I've done it simply isn't working.

[manny24]

could never look at 4 cards in depth like that not enough time for me

general rule whatever the sport handicap leadership

Nocoin bet the coach

not the team

[ridik01]

I'm real close to stop betting on the NFL altogether! I win in college and lose in the NFL. Annoys me big penetrating time!!!!

[tto827]

I like the glance the card approach. You miss a few for sure, but overall it's a lot less stressful.

I'd say 70%+ of my ncaaf bets this year have been on or against 6-8 teams that I try to follow and get a feel for. Let alone 4 sports, an entire college football card is overwhelming.

Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over expecting different results." You know what you're doing isn't working this time of year, so definitely time to change something. As a gambler, anytime you take blame for losses vs. blaming luck, you're probably headed in the right direction.

Maybe look over the cards for football earlier in the week, and then wait for the lines you want, as opposed to trying to cap 150+ games on the weekend, cause that doesn't sound fun at all.

You sure einstien said that? Eisntien 'said' a lot of shit

Coin.......Every gambler, unless professional, aches. And even then some.

You cant expect easy reward without risk.

Our friend 2daBank has it right...it's a hobby for us. Unless you have numbers different from the book's prices; we've got a stressful, expensive hobby here.

Following the right sport bet is an art. If you feel your handicapping is good enough to bet on , yet you lose......be glad it's a hobby.........i know a lot of "pro gamblers" who lose thousands weekly.

[The Giant]

It looks like you're pretty successful in the NFL and NBA.

Maybe you should focus where your talents lie. That might be easier said than done on a college football Saturday when you're salivating to watch some football, however.

[Vinnie Paz]

Get your football in during the week. Maybe pm lt profits , he does all the sports too and bets 875528 games combined across all so im sure he can help, although maybe he has much more spare time to devote to this, I don't really know for sure but..

gamblersanonymous.org bitch

so we can quit seeing your threads every god damn time you lose, which is pretty much everyday.

[jjgold]

Too many sports right now you got to be careful

I had only better Sundays ever

All luck

[The Kraken]

Mathematically, drop everything but NFL and possibly NBA. Otherwise you're losing money.

Even after this past weekend, I'm up nearly 130 units in the last 14 months with every play tracked at SBR, but you're right, I lose pretty much every day. Good point.

[ksnooksk]

Wow, I'm in the same boat. Got killed yesterday. Bad, bad weekend. Football is my nemesis. I handicapped the 4 NBA games yesterday perfectly but, I was SO caught up in trying to get out of the red in football that I passed on the NBA games and just went to bed.

[Bet10Heinekens]

too many lines to capped in Saturday, stick to one sport and narrow down the games...I made no bets on NCAAB, NBA,NHL...college football is the the main sport I focus on Saturday.

[BigDeem5]

I'll be serious with no coin for once.

First, keep your normal routine. Bet NFL on Sundays, handicap Saturday night. If you have games going on during Sat night, don't watch them, don't limit your normal capping routine.

Saturday should be NCAAF and NCAAB (if you feel comfortable). Cap these Fridays, don't play Friday NCAAB/NCAAF games b/c there are like 4 on the slate anyway. No need to play NCAAB on Sundays, there are usually 5-6 games and mostly traps for guys trying to have action at 12:00 instead of 1:00 for NFL.

NBA is best to cap Mon-Fri, Fridays a lot of money is to be made. I would never play Sunday NBA, too hard to cap with NFL going on. If you want to cap NBA Saturdays, you will have to factor that into NCAAF/NCAAB capping, it is hard to cap 3 sports going on all on Saturday, no doubt. Whatever you're least successful it, limit or don't bet it all on Saturday whether it be football, ncaa hoops, or nba.

I usually take NBA off on Saturdays/Sundays.

Saturdays College sports (Basketball/Football)

Sunday (NFL)

Mon-Fri (NBA)

I may change this, it isn't a strict schedule but it eases your mind.

[Sam Odom]

2-3 bets max per 1/2 day works best for Sammy

Then again some cappers do 12

[jayc88]

bigdeem is right
i usually take nba off on saturday and sunday unless there is one game that really stands out and focus only
on college football
but in the end if you are able to find value in multiple sports over the weekend more power to you
Just because you had one bad weekend might not mean you cant be profitable keeping this routine up over the next weeks & months.

What to you want to be the most? An action junkie or a successful capper? Because your actions speak one and your stats show the other. Picking what you are good at and just ENJOY watching the rest is probably the best advice anyone is going to tell you.. BUT you probably don't want to hear.

I would like to think I would have a great NFL record up to this point if my junkie side of me didn't want to take prop bets that seem like almost sure wins but I never take when I'm on my normal hot runs. Your success in spotting good lines in one or two sports doesn't means every sport you look at will have a golden ticket waiting for you.

this is great advice and I might take it.
