Would You Rather Bet On Credit??

[jjgold]

If you had to choose??

I like both

Credit gives you more leverage but way more pressure and discipline.

[The General]

I prefer credit because of the personal relationships built and perks involved when you develop the friendship and trust factor.

[2daBank]

hell yes!!! with my local i will fire at will with amounts that would screw me totally if i had a bad run....amazingly this has only caught up with me once in life for the most part if i got credit i am GOLD

[sickler]

I don't use credit. Don't want to.

[Dunder]

It really would make no difference to me. I have a credit line at one book but rarely use it and I post up at the other 40 or so books which I use with any regularity.

It really comes down to the individual (a bit like credit cards and overdrafts). Some have the discipline to handle them, whilst others don´t.

The bottom line is that you should not take credit for anything unless you have the means to cover your liabilities.

[SamsNCharge99]

when you have money in account whether its credit or posting up, it seems like play money, u make a bet and the money alrdy is out, so u can have 1000, bet 500 and theres 500 in there, like nothint

it's dangerous

[Boner_18]

Not a big fan of credit with gambling. Like investing the benefit of credit (i.e. leverage) must outweigh the cost of that credit (i.e. interest/broken legs) for it to be worthwhile.

[statnerds]

seen too many people press and chase when down and betting on credit. i prefer to avoid betting on credit cause i can't lose what i don't got. good thread jj.

I'm in the same boat. Don't need the added pressure.

[flyingillini]

I have the option to bet both ways. I have no interest in betting with credit. I have no trouble keeping my book always funded.

[Whirlaway]

You know better betting on credit leads to nothing but trouble

[Rollins08]

Betting with credit is looking for trouble. Everyone here says they can control their habits but my guess is a small percent really can.

[Brock Landers]

its fine if you have the disposable income to back it up if/when you lose. I got destroyed essentially doing this.

[DOMINATER]

My guy gives me credit i was as high as 14 g and he never said nothing , this means he either trust me or he fiqures i ll nevr pay him either or. What do you think

[lakerboy]

You can come back within a week if your down or go down even more if you play local but playing online is too much hassle for me. I drive 5 minutes on friday collect the envelope and go home happy. I dont have time for all of the nonsense of online and all the lures of the other betting options. Its not for everyone for sure but it limits you and if you have control you are okay.

[moses millsap]

credit leads to bad things for most gamblers

[Tsoprano]

credit

[JohnAnthony]

Never. Ever.

[GiveMeaBJ]

Credit is way too dangerous. No reason to ever bet on credit unless you have 100% sure fire money coming in by the time payday rolls around.

[Brock Landers]

If you bet on credit, you've probably already planned to stiff, otherwise you'd post up. Period

[ILOVETHIS50]

dont need credit when you rich like me

[whatsgood5]

I have never and will never bet on credit. Only bad can come out of it IMO

Hes not paying

[WileOut]

I bet 90% on credit. Love it. Just hate the losing weeks and having to drive to settle.

[Reload]

Credit betting is not for 99% of the people here. Nothing worse than playing on credit and getting washed out on an 0-5 Sunday.

[j0hnnyv]

One of my best friends is old school and turning football/ncaab or whatever he meets his guy on thursday and locks in his bets. He gives an envelope with full bet +vig up front. Next week when he wins he collects that back plus winnings. Never wants to bet what he doesn't have to lose. Needless to say he bets between 3-10k on an nfl game and wins over 6 figures a season. True story. Me personally do not bet on credit.

Big.............com

[bigboyfosho]

Betting on credit can be very good, does not tie up money, and it is easier to deal with a local

[Busterflywheel]

Never credit..Thats like trading stock on credit..No go ever..Hard enough to keep above 50% and add into the equation interest, not appealing to me at all..But luckily I'm not forced to reload my accounts.

Exactly my thoughts.

[smartmoney79]

Betting on credit does not work for me

[jlgarciaiii22]

Credit... Keeps the disciplined money management in check! But i have placed wagers with the local, cash up front to be able to collect when the games over!

But I use offshore for small Parlays and Teasers.

That is actually a very valid point.

[robertg]

from 96-2009 postup 100%

now i use credit 75/25 just for convenience sake...especially payouts.

[THE PROFIT]

I have always bet on credit, only way I feel comfortable at this point because it's what I'm used to. Just like here with this point book, if your 7:00 play hasn't posted before nine you're *ucked!!!
I am much better at picking a large amount of games, any of the guys in the weekly contests can see that. If I have to make 1 pick a day the pressure is too much and I will lose, but 10 a day I'll go 9-1 or 8-2 because there's no pressure.

This style I have makes credit much better for me, hell on my book!!!
