I am small time.

[EaglesPhan36]

And I don't care who knows it. I'd rather admit the truth than pretend to be a big shot. Where are my other small timers?

[G's pks]

I used to bet like most pretend...but now all bets are 500 or less...mainly all 100 or less..and my entertainment plays 50 or less... a pizza play pays for a delivered pizza...maybe 20/30... A happy meal play is 5 to 20...

[Boner_18]

Oh god yes I am small time. Its more about beating a number, capping a game, scamming something etc. for me than it is about wagering dollars. Right now I am still riding off a $200 from a contest I placed in Oct. No need to bet loads on a pick.

[texashighroller]

Trust me guys, i bet 99.9% of the people in here are small timers. Guys throwin down the big money usually dont like to talk about it for free.

Don´t care if you are small time, medium time or big time, EP.

For my money you one of the the best soccer ´cappers here.

[minet123]

Just look for my lunch money wagers thread

[odusmykal]

Small timer here.. I will not lie, i can't afford to bet $500 a game on several games a day.. My normal bet is $50.. Sometimes maybe $100, sometimes maybe $25.. But $100 bets are rare for me.. I still lose too much to try to be a bigshot..

[tltaylor89]

Ep should be a paid soccer correspondent

[OMGRandyJackson]

I am very small time. My starting BR for MLB this season will be $100-$150 lol.

[craig4nr]

Definitely a small timer. I think most people here are, and there's no shame in it.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

I bet 220 a game but i probably put less money in action a year then the 10 dollar bettor does a month.

[wal66]

Eagles, I think big time or small time is all relative to individual situations. A guy betting $50 a game making $17K a year is betting big time considering his situation.

Ego gets in the way of common sense in situations like gambling. We see these guys talking about diamonds Rolex's and Bentley's and wagering $10K a game and it tends to make some feel they have to justify what they wager as well. This is exactly the mentality that gets people in trouble and cause debts to soar.

You say you are small time but if you are staying in control and enjoying what you are doing and not disrupting your life finantially in the process then you my friend are as big time as they come.

[36mafia]

$10 better here. and i still get hardons when i hit a 4+ unit play

[Bootylicious]

I just hit the big time thanks to mega millions!!!!!!!!111

[Boner_18]

We just got powerball in NY. There are multimillion dollar jackpots like 6 out of 7 nights a week now.

[1st and Ten]

So is JJ

What are units? I am still new here and I see ppl in have things like +32 units in their sigs and so I am curious what is a unit?

[1st and Ten]

JJ has a 2 plus unit

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

A unit is a comparative way to measure handicapper success.

If you regularly bet $10 a game, then $10 would be your unit.

Risking 11/10 every game. So if you went 4-0 instead of saying your up $40 bucks you can say 4 units.

It varries. Some guys bet on average $100 a game so every unit represents $100. Some guys bet $10 a game and a unit to them is $10.

[TomDwan]

I bet between $100 and $500 a game, very seldom more than $500. Although I did have $1,500 on Saints +5 while in Vegas.

[keyboarding]

The term unit is the way people mask how little they bet/lose/win. We should put an SBR wide ban on the term unit and talk in dollars. Then people can stop posting their bets out of the sheer ridiculous nature of its size.

[statnerds]

keep my bets between 1% and 3% of my BR. i made two big bets this year, and they were $200. i can tell you my avg bet now is $30, which is less than 1% of my BR, but i don't cap any sports going on right now and i don't have enough trust in other people to risk more. except Hammew and i guess that guy died or something (i hope not. hope all is well with him). but i will be going 3% on MLB in April and quit in May.

so yes, small-timer and loving it.

[OMGRandyJackson]

kk thats exactly what I figured a unit is. Thanks!

[jjgold]

Some people just cannot bet small as it does nothing for them and others could bet small.

It is all relative to what you financial position is.

[DrStale]

I bet SBR points.

[DOMINATER]

kid you i the same as every body else did you ever here the meek will inherit the world do you kno w what that means . it means you get a vote just like everyone else yes paul mcCarthy PRES OBAMA, DALI LAIMA, MIKE TYSON, MIKE JORDAN THE POPE YOUR GARBAGE MAN AND JESUS WHEN HE WAS A MAN WE GET 1 VOTE AND ARE ALL EQUAL

[EaglesPhan36]

I also concede that I can't cap my way out of a paper bag in college basketball this season. It's maddening because I did pretty well last year and this year, I am getting buried. Small time knows when to just make plays and not embarass himself by posting them any longer.

[THEGREAT30]

And I don't care who knows it. I'd rather admit the truth than pretend to be a big shot. Where are my other small timers?

So am I and I most likely would not be here if I were big time, good day

[whatsgood5]

I appreciate your honesty, but this is not very entertaining.

i know what you mean and used to think the same way, but I realized units is a good way to measure it as long as ur NOT constantly changing ur unit size.

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

Yeah, I'm real 'small-time' $10 maybe $25.

[Masu485]

btw i am also small time. i fought my ass off through e-mail to get $9.00 back from one of my books
