What is the 'be all and end all" angle when capping a game??

wish I knew. I would instantly become a spot bettor.

Is there an ultimate angle to a game??

Relatively new to it, but I'd say money management and pacing yourself, not letting emotions take over after a big win or big loss day is #1 key to NOT LOSING -- and recognizing the one or two times a week that you really see a good pick where they have capped the game wrong, and you are able to lay down a big bet that you think is a near-sure thing, for real, is the #1 key to WINNING... if you can find the right balance and do both of them, you could make a run.

Do not know, but think playing dogs which you believe have an good opportunity to win straight up are the best plays on the board.

If we all had the answer to this question, there would be no sports gambling because the books would be out of business and we'd all be filthy rich. One thing about sports is, you never know what's going to happen. There is no one best angle in handicapping a game and we'd all be better off not wasting our time looking for one.

not true. OP says what is the end all "angle" when capping a game...

win or lose we all have an angle that drives us to making our bets.

OP is just trying to pick our brain so he can gain perspective.

Bearser just wanna see what qualities guys rank the highest when capping games.

I'm sure we will all learn something here.

exactly... i wish posters would give honest answers.

I would love to know how Vyomguy does it

Dont mean to brag but syndicate I operate also runs at a similar % to what vyomguy hits.

Guy is a spot bettor and as such doesn't feel the pressure to have to "make a play".

It's where the guys who have to bet everyday go wrong because their doing it for the wrong reasons...

Just my 2 cents anyway...

I like.

But what would be the minimum odds of the dog for you to wager if you believed the play had a legitimate chance and what would your %win rate be?

Not true necessarily.

If books were big enough they would have alternate income streams (eg think a multinational that has several different income streams) And could use losses from their book as tax write off.

Again that's a hypothetical so please don't take it literally.

do you have a thread that you post plays in? i'd like to follow your plays


but yes i agree , lack of discipline spells disaster for a gambler. I am currently taking a break
its been a whole week since i made a bet... gotta get my head clear.

Which side the fix is in on. Learn that and you win more than %55.

No idea. I am referring to the value of taking the points with a dog that you think can win.

Good on ya for taking the break and knowing when the time to get out is.

Something we learn through experience unfortunately.

Occasionally post a play but largely too much hassle for when all your trying to do is make money and they don't understand variance.

Bearer what's been your most efficient approach to bankroll strategy in relation to making plays thus far?

My bad.

I meant if you were to consistently take dogs SU would you have a minimum price set (eg wouldn't go any lower than +120 for example)

Good question. Not really sure, but like I stated I am more of a dog gambler with the points.

One of the simplest ways to turn a profit in a year of course is to limit your bets but that is easier said than done. Most of us maybe have 50 good bets per year but end up making 2500 bets per year. If we just bet the 50 of course great hot to win . The loses also will be reduced and the -110 will not eat you alive. I cannot do it because I like the action.

Getting the better team and points.

Duke last night is an example of that.

Nothing less than you deserve. ..

I can't believe how many people were on Pitt last night.

Love them or hate them, Duke will always figure out how to work around their problems and contend.

That being said, I think Syracuse smacks Duke this week.

Money is the most important angle

well to be honest money management has been my downfall. I can pick winners but i am addicted to parlays.

i love the idea of risking a small amount to win a large amount.

When i am at my peak performance i spot bet and I bet large but i am very disciplined and patient. Its all about getting in the right mind frame.
