I am betting $1100 on the Cards tonight

[SBR_John]

Arizona got caught reading about how good they were. It happens, hard to cap that. Can't win them all.

[Busterflywheel]

Id rather be betting on snails.

[pavyracer]

They don't call them squares for nothing.

[Dexter]

man, i know sam can get on peoples nerves with how he acts/posts etc....the kid is 18.

some of you guys act like complete punks. seriously, you have nothing better to do then go online and abuse an 18 year old kid? good stuff.

[Dexter]

wow...looking back at this thread. internet tough guys galore....lol - hilarious yet sad all at the same time.

[NOLAKid]

Gotta hate those cards

[BigdaddyQH]

People are all over his ass to prove a point. For the hundreds of amateurs in here, learn a lesson. We tried to talk some sense into his head, but he would not listen. This is why people like myself take all of the squares money. We are disciplined. We have a successful money managment system. Only a fool would throw away half of his winning wagers like this kid did. The bet was terrible to begin with. Taking Arizona only showed how little he knows about football. He got his ass kicked tonite, and deserved it.

For all of you know-it-all's with your fake wagers, fake records, and fake minds, learn this lesson real quick. No one gives a crap about you or your fake records. Stop trying to act like Mr. Macho all the time. People like myself can easily check your gaming habits, so just give it up. Try being honest and learning the proper way to gamble. Several guys tried to warn this loser about his wager. Many of you backed him. That means many of you lost. Why don't you listen to the people who know what they are talking about. Listen to the people who wager more in one week than you guys do in a month. People in here have to learn that when you open your big mouth and lose, you are going to get shot down, just like in real life. The only difference is that in real life, you can not run and hide, like you can in here. Vegas is full of street people who thought they knew how to gamble. If the kid is 18, he desreves to get his ass kicked anyways. Stay out of Vegas boy. You know nothing. 18 year olds have no business in a man's world.

[Busterflywheel]

I agree with Big Daddy here..lol

you're always so happy BigDaddy. as a pro gambler who lives the good life, one would think you'd be a little more chipper

i had no problem with sam playing with house money if he was up for the week - i use that strategy and do well with it. no, i was 2-0 on the game. i wasnt backing him up b/c he had arz.

[FishFace5]

For all of you know-it-all's with your fake wagers, fake records, and fake minds.....

Not for nothing bigdaddy I've never seen you post a play. U just troll around and blast everyone. Your favorite thing to do is suggest a "pass" on a particular play. Sometimes you have some good info but its usually buried under a mountain of bullshit. Not to mention your one of those "we" bettors, which has to be the single most annoying habit in the whole forum. You got laughed out of the sportsbook & industry section with your nonsense Vegas stories and opinions. Spare us all with these crap stories about you being a big time Vegas insider.

right and one time the guy claimed how great he was, check his spreadsheet etc....i went into his spreadsheet and noticed a number of edited selections. bottom line, the spreadsheet here can be fudged.

i'm all for giving people good/sound money mgmt advice. but the way some guys here approach others is not cool.

[slacker00]

Entertaining thread.

[JMUplayer]

SEVEN Turnovers and only lost by two scores.... ouch

[Parligod]

I'm so glad I faded Mike Ditka.
As to this thread, I agree with Nicky and think he was just trying to help Sam out. While he can be brutally honest in his comments at least he's sincere about his thoughts. Hell in this industry I think most people need that level of honesty. I've read many posts by you Sam and you seem knowledgeable but you really have to crack down on your MM. Dex if that style works for you then great, but I tend to go the other way - things might run well at times but I know that a loss is coming soon enough; it always does eventually.
On the flip side of the posts here, "we" get BigDaddy-style banter. Some insightful comments get lost in the mix of egotistical bullshit. I'm not saying your an A-hole, but that post was certainly A-hole-ish. Ease off a bit next time big guy, it's just not necessary.

[Bigmikesm]

Sam...go big or go home! I hereby lift the curse Nicky put on you! I declare it a WIN!

It didn't work. And how could someone with one post know about the curse?

to hit consistently at 55-60% is not going to happen. you may have seasons that you're red hot, but if you're a long term everyday gambler as i am, you have to try and hit a homerun every now and then. here is basically what i do:

-gamble on a week to week basis. dont look back if im up/down for the season on a particular sport.
-if im hot during the week, i will bet larger on some games as the week progresses.
-if im cold during the week i wont chase - and rather will keep my bets smaller. accepting a losing week is a must if you want to survive.

my ideal scenario in a sport is to be up say 10-15 units for the week. i then will try and identify a game on sat/sun to bet larger then my avg. maybe 5x etc. try and accumulate more units while still leaving yourself with a profit. listen, i dont follow sammys style (or anyones) each day - so perhaps he was acting like a maniac. my point was simply that the general concept of being aggressive when up has been a good one for me the last few years.

weighting your bets properly is the key - not hitting 60% cause that just isnt going to happen in the long run unless you play 2-5 games per week.

[FrozenMAN]

I know FrozenMan. I read it this afternoon after it was too late. Thanks a lot, Sammy.

totally he's AWFUL, never bet a game he's on if i know of it, he's TERRIBLE, MAJOR KISS OF DEATH especially during MLB when he bet my marlins, think they went like 1-9 when he did......

[JetsMatt85]

He brings it upon himself. Who gives a shit how old he is.

When he looks for attention by posting wagers with fake dollar amounts, he gets what he deserves. Hes a POS attention whore, thats it.

You bet more when you're on a hot streak and bet less when you're on a cold streak, and you're giving people advice on how to bet? People have good runs and bad runs, that I'll grant you, but if they've been betting long enough to know what they're doing then their "streaks" are due to random chance and not to a sudden ability or inability to cap a game. Betting more because you went 7-1 during the week is certainly not sound betting strategy, nor is lowering your bets if you went 1-7.

[CarloTwoGuns]

Well I got ****ed on that game lol

[Sam Odom]

I am betting 1100 b/c the Cards are gonna dominate tonight

[The Seer]

SEVEN Turnovers and only lost by two scores.... ouch

It's funny how nobody noticed that the defense was confusing Warner and forcing him into bad throws and the defenders were stripping the ball and putting their helmets on it and knocking it loose. Either way, this was one of the easiest games on the card. You had a team that was coming off a big win on primetime vs a perceived average team with a capable defense. (huge letdown combined with a team with a chance to prove something) The line itself was a dead giveaway.

[cnleaf]

Sorry to hear that, Sam.Cards just cost u a whole pack of Christmas candy money. Sigh.....

I bet the same on each game unless the game is so strong it dictates me wagering more which is not often

i could care less if people use my "advice" or not. im just stating what i do and it has helped me do better the past few years.

thats your opinion - havent you found (if you cap games on your own) that you see things clearer when you're doing well? i know that when im cold, i sometimes make decisions that i may not normally make (make a square play etc). thus, i like to bet less when im on a cold streak/not try and chase.

for people that dont cap their own games (tail, pay a tout etc) then i can understand your way of thinking.

[SamsNCharge99]

you know, the more I think about this bet today and trust me, I thought a lot about it.

I took a long bath, was sore from wrestling yesterday and was also thinking about the game/bet

and the more I think, the more I don't regret it

and if I have another huge winning week, I will 100% make the same bet again

you ignorant stupid ****. until you can humble yourself and admit you were wrong and made a terrible pick, you will never make money in this market.

i had zona also. but i got them at -3 earlier in the week because i would never make a large wager and allow myself to get beat by the hook (like you did, taking them at -3.5, but thats another lesson).

the difference between winning gamblers, and you, is we learn from mistakes and can admit when we are wrong.
i lost on zona but in turn paid for information. i learned that zona is not good playing at a field below sea level, and even worse in inclement weather. it forces them to turn the ball over. also that they are very young at RB and because they lack a veteran leader at that position they can be turnover-prone.
on defense i learned that their success there is predicated on getting pressure on the opposing QB. if they dont, their secondary (which is sub-par) will get burned in man coverage, and they are also extremely susceptible to getting beat by tight ends.

[Sam Odom]

Sammy , you are a grown man. do as you please with your money
