The fine line between winning a lot and winning a little.

[SteveRyan]

Check out this math.

Let's say you place 5 bets.
Each bet is -110 odds and you spend $100 on each bet.
So, your total investment is $500.

If you win all 5 bets, you will get a max pay of $954.55
Subtract the $500 investment.
Your total profit is $454.55

However, if you lose ONLY TWO of those bets...
Your total profit is now $72.73

How quickly the money disappears.

Winning is tough. its a grind and you have to be in for the long haul. Most people on here know that..

[Sam Odom]

So... See if Sammy got this right

If one loses 40% of his bets , his profits are reduced by 83.99%

Is that right

Not sure who lays just 100 on a juiced bet. 110 to win 100 is the way to go. Profit will be $80.00 then.

5D reduced juice: (-105) 525 to win 500. $90.00 profit. Extra $10.00 saved, and that adds up to $520 over the course of a year.

Keep in mind this is only $100 bets as some bet higher and more often.

[cant call it]

Thats why the losers lose and winners win. If you make 100 bets and are + money.... You are doing pretty good. I would say, better than 95% of the rest of the world.
