    Most of us here lose money on betting because...

    we are action junkies and have horrible bankroll management


    Let's be serious here, it's not that hard to pick winners if you just play the right games instead of making 9 bets a day because you're an action junkie. Even worse, we lose a couple and then we start chasing and betting 5 or 6x normal amounts


    I've made a rule to myself to now only bet the games I absolutely love and not put too much on each individual game. I'm up $1,700 since that point and it will be +2300 if cubs win this game by 2+

    at this point, cubs and usually 1 other game that looks really good to me. The nationals -1.5 + 170 looked fantastic to me


    Cubs are an indestructible baseball terminating machine. If you're not blind betting all their games, you're missing out

    Don't chase. When you're down, go easy and pay your man. It's trying to get out of a hole that screws us all over.

    Agree. In the NFL, for instance, it's safer for me to bet the whole card (smaller bets) than to step out on one game I love.

    I circle games and only put cash on the line if certain players here agree. That way I'm betting my own games but with support. Believe it or not, I have made a pretty penny.

    Guys get hot as well. When they do I'll throw down a parlay or two (or three). I have cashed a decent amount of coin.

    Tonight I played a 4 "teamer" and made $$. Jones in MMA with "JoshKnows", San Francisco in MLB with "JMon", Arizona in MLB with "LouisvilleKid", and Portland in NBA...... again, I liked these plays and saw these guys on them and ponied up.


    I'm drunk so I'll stop here..... but you get my point. Hahahah.

    I lose because I drink too much. I lose focus.

    Bet Keno and video poker and other sucker bets-but I get free drinks and I feel better.

    Most players lose because they play way more than they should. Instead of pocketing the winnings from a 1 o'clock NFL game, people try to see where they can play that money in a 4:25 game. The object is to take the money home with you, not to keep playing until you give it back.

    People have no willpower.
