    Question
    hey guys I haven't been betting sports for that long but im learning as i go picking up hints here and there from some of the big time handicappers. I depostied a few dollars on a book and now if gotten it up a little but it jsut seems like i keep spinning my wheels. I have been working on the bankrole management rules like not betting more than 10 percent on 1 game ets.. But thats getting old becasue i cant seem to make that big cash i want. Whats the easiest sport to win at or the best way for me to build up my Bankrole?

    Any opinions please!

    10% max? Should be like 2%-5%.

    Honestly you just need to keep grinding it out and get the best numbers. And dont follow anyone from this site.

        If I bet 10% I would be broke. I lost about 20 k out of the gate due to pour money management. I have been betting for a couple of years and I am barely up 15-20 grand at 100/unit. I have made over 12-15 thousands wagers.

        There was a point in this year where I would have been out of the game if I had another losing week (coming off losing 12k over 4 weeks). You're not going to make a living out of this and neither am I. The only people who win are the smart ones and they sure as hell ain't in "player's talk"...the think tank is another story.

          If you want easy money, wait for someone to die and inherit. There's not a lot of easy money in sports betting - it's a brutal grind.

              Inthehole... I'm in players talk and I'm smart

              The key Crash is money management and knowing how to win High and lose Low. It's very similar to the stock market. Find a pick that looks good and play it. Don't get emotional about it because you sometimes win and sometimes lose. Try to find lines that have value.

              Learn to tail the right guys and fade the bad ones. Also most important, Have a goal in mind.

                You know what I mean Mac...I may not be "Smart" or "Sharp" but after losing all that cash I can honestly say I have NEVER chased or placed a wager due to losses. I have never placed a wager which exceeded 3% and most are in the .75 to 1% range.

                    Depends on whether you want to learn to win...I recommend all of Justin7 videos.

                    The Service Forum is a good place for consensus picks but I would be doing you wrong if I said follow anyone there. Stop by and read some of the cappers (again as hot as they get they will get cold) so use your judgment and if you like a play bounce it off the guys in the forum.

                        there's better ways to make money than gamble on sports.. like put it in the bank.. at least your money will grow, unlike go to 0..

                        you have a better chance at getting hit by lightning 6x than to make money over a lifetime. (if you are a social bettor)
