    you cannot beat the books by simply handicapping

    you have to have a numbers edge

        I think tons of people including myself have continually told you to cut down your games till you start winning again.... Think about it...

          Just fade Lang or Moldy Bread. Both equally awful.

            don't go against charlotte right now is the best advice I can give you...

            they're just playing too hard and too well...

            if you like the other team, then lay off the game... until the bobcats start to lost again then do whatever

                the only advice thats good advice is quit now
                just quit. dont quit for a month or two, quit for good. find another outlet.

                do it

                        it amazes me that your average "joe" thinks he can make money at sportsbetting against people who have access to any info they want and give u a horrible price.

                        yes, im included in this group

                          It's strictly entertainment that has made me smarter with everything I do in life...

                          teaches you numbers, econ stuff and social topics to discuss...

                          other then the fact it makes you anti social and stress a lot it is perfect...

                          plus you can make money if you truly want to... but that would involve far less entertainment and a strict system following the strictest of the strict bankroll management and only a select number of plays that you BEAT the number on...

                          I'm pretty sure I can show a consistent profit over a large sample with just playing my best bets...

                          beating the number is how you beat the game just like otw said...

                                Bobby what you are doing is completely different from Sam. Sam is just in a bad streak. You are just throwing bad money, after bd money by chasing. I see now you are doing parlays to try to catch a break. My question to you is... If you cannot pick a single winner consistantly.... how in the hell are you going to pick two and win parlays? Bobby you might consider tailing one of the better cappers in here... Maybe someone could send you a few...

                                  I thought you had some amazing record like five days ago. What happened?

                                  This thread is hilarious.

                                  If you bet fewer games it will take you that much longer to get into the "long run". So you'll have more of a chance to win if you're a losing player. good advice.

                                        I myself bet a lot of chalk but every single play on ur spreadsheet is a fav... except richmond which isn't over yet so no clue why you have it as a loss... I think they still cover

                                        there is your problem...

                                        it's tourney time, aka upset city

                                          It takes time and experience... I lost a lot in the beginning and spent 24 hour days studying, searching and so many things just didn't hold up, but eventually you start to see things and discover things... It takes time and experience...

                                                samy, no offense to gold, but he loves lebron and hates kobe
                                                lakers at plus money is just such a gem, you get it less than 10 times a year

                                                            The amounts you bet are way too high for a young square, cut it down to 25 bucks or so.
