There are a few scenerios that could have happened here...

1. You jumped on the Dad Train early on and used discipline and made a good amount.

2. You jumped on the Dad Train early but kept betting more and more with each win and lost more than you should have and either ended up only winning a little or lost it all or ended up giving all winnings back and lost money.

3. You jumped on the Dad Train late and got a few winners, used discipline and only gave a little back with his latest loss and you are still lookin good.

4. You jumped on the Dad Train late and kept betting big and got burried on tonight's loss.

5. You just started tailing Dad today and lost and now you hate Dad.

I am probably missing a few scenerios, feel free to add your own or lets us know how you did.

As for myself... I started tailing Dad very early on and I made over $700. Big baller I am not. But I am glad I did not go all in tonight and give it all back also.

I am curious to know how Dad did.

I kept an eye on his picks but I tail no one. Good job Dad.

[FourLengthsClear]

I went 1-0 of the plays of Dad's that I saw. I didn't tail, just happened to be on the same side.

I hated his play today and one other play that he made and was on the other side of both. I didn't want to be 'that guy' in his threads.

I don't hate Dad though. I still had a huge day. Still got bets pending though, hope I don't jinx it :X

[ChalkyDog]

Tailed after his 12th win, so went 4-0 ATS and 2-0 SU (PHX over Boston and ATL vs. I forget).

So roughly +6.5 units and a few betpoints (not counting the NYK "pre-fade" - I had picked NYK before seeing his pick)

[Sam Odom]

2% of bankroll you mean?

yes

4-1 on the 2%'ers

1-0 on the only 4%'er

[tony_come]

20K

down the drain

[Hawkeye2011]

yes

4-1 on the 2%'ers

1-0 on the only 4%'er

What is the biggest % you will wager on a single bet? And do you do parlays at all? If so do you bet the same % or do you lower it?

[phillybadboy]

0-3 down huge

[MexicanStallion]

Did not tail Dad. Missed the streak big time when it was going. Just been cheering Dad on.

[Sam Odom]

What is the biggest % you will wager on a single bet?

Lately , the largest been (to win)4.5% on a Fav ML

And do you do parlays at all? If so do you bet the same % or do you lower it?

rarely but I do play 2 team teasers w/same range 2-4%.

many people on here will say that the 2-5% betting range MM is bullshit and someone using it will never win 'Big' and that 'real' gamblers must go all in sometimes

The 'real' broke gamblers?

thats why they always reloading...how hard is it to go broke betting 2-5%

[aggieshawn]

Around 350 betpoints. People in CR are mad.

the problem is that for 90% of people here 2-5 % means $15 bets. that gets no one a rush.

$15 gives me a rush. I'm not gonna lie, I could have $15 or $150 on a game and I get a rush out of the game. I guess thats a good thing though???

[FourLengthsClear]

Being in it for "a rush" is a sign of poor discipline in itself.
Those same players will still be overbetting even after going on a 'heater'.

[tony_come]

I'm pissed

I lost 20k on the cats

[Hawkeye2011]

I get a rush whether its $5 of $200.....the most I have ever bet on a game is $300 and was just as excited as a $10 bet

[jjgold]

Well I put it on my sheet

[FindTheLock]

5. You just started tailing Dad today and lost and now you hate Dad.


I don't hate Dad though. I still had a huge day. Still got bets pending though, hope I don't jinx it :X

this is why dad lost today... lazyman was on the same side.

[sportsfanatic]

zero. i was too late to the bandwagon.

[aceking]

made about $200 fading him .

[Optional]

I put $30 on #15 just to be part of the fun. Missed the last 2 posts.

Thanks Dad

Did the loss have anything to do with Gold's demand for Dad to call him before posting the next one

[rm18]
