    Once you think you're sharp it's the downfall of a gambler

    there's no such thing as conquering any profession (well other than sports a few rare exceptions ) as you should learn every day the rest of your life

    Guys that claim they know everything watch out


    Many guys make that mistake

    it does seem like most of my hot streaks are followed by cold streaks.

    i think the key is after a really successful week take a week off bc you know chances are the following week you won't have the same success as the previous week.

    i went for 7-8 in college/ nfl this past weekend. Looking at this card for this week i dont see much i like so maybe i take a week off this weekend off to calm my nerves.

    still invested in the Orioles though... need a miraculous comeback.

    I've seen a few defy this theory -

    TheLock will tell you he's sharp and then he'll hit 65% on you over hundreds of bets
    Cougarbait was the same way until he was sold to the sex dungeon

    good post JJ, I always remember what my high school football coach said: "You either get better or worse, you never stay the same"

    One of the sharpest threads ive ever seen you start coach...

    If you win then be humble and stay humble or you'll be broke in no time.

    Keep up the good work...

    Many think books help

    I would think you could pick up tips from a few books here and there

    Very good math skills are more important than anything if we are talking about sports betting
