    I will never understand this about gamblers

    Big shots

    Know everything

    Why not play 1 game per month, your absolute best


    Well you can take 5 shots per month


    If you start in January with $100 by your last game in December you will have over $230,000

    take $500 for 5 tries at it

    worst case scenario you lose $500





    well I would try it, and did try it but drink too much and always just fukkin go with a 3 teamer within 2 days

    You start right now in February and you will have over $100k

    WHY NOT??

    I will try again when I stop drinking

    yea but if you hit 60%

    it is hard to pick 5 out of 10 plays

    better to pick 5 out of 10,000 plays

    mBR = Mini Bankroll

    3 bets max... 100% mBR -- win -- 75% mBR -- win -- 50% mBR

    start over

    instead we have posters betting in terms of UNITS

    that is the problem

    GUYS WITHOUT MODELS SHOULD NOT BET UNITS



    smart guys with models laughed and said FUKKIN obviously bet anything with an edge

    that's just flat out wrong for the majority

    There isn't any 5 best picks, I can't see it happening, you can never guess a random outcome accurately.

    thats the problem with 'Kelly' ... only a handful of posters can accurately calculate their advantage on a wager. Rest are guessing

    agree with everything said,

    except units - although I do understand the point Rudy makes about units

    Units can be relative to anyone's bankroll, whether a 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 dollar bettor

    in other words I use the units as a standardized measurement format

    spot bettors always the most successful

    Less occurrences apply to about 90% of players if you want to win

    Action is most of the fun. Money is just a result of the real reason most of us gamble.

    Patience is the KEY to winning big money long term. Action junkies are like all junkies addicted losers.

    If you add beer to he equation it will influence your patience. .

    Just at least slow down your drinking bud.

    This can work if you can be patient.

    I think your a great guy otherwise. Willing to help you in anyway you need bro.

    Cheers!

    If we could have SPONSORS, like AA

    it would ensure many win 100k per year

    I should come up with that idea

    MLB, spot play live 'dogs.

    If you play 80 games during the course of the season, with 100 dollar flat bets, you only need to go 33 and 37 to turn a profit.
    You would lose 3700 for the 37 losses.
    You would collect 4125 dollara for the 33 wins.
    That's net a profit of 425 dollars by losing 59 percent of your selections (33/80 = 41.25%) even though the implied odds of winning one game at +125 is 44.44%

    *aside to Rudy, not trying to be a showoff here, not trying to prove anything to anybody, just wanted to add my insight.

    Best case scenario: Let's say I have 2 bags full of marbles. Bag #1 has 53 Blue marbles and 47 Red marbles. Bag #2 has 60 Blue marbles and 40 Red marbles. The Blue marbles will represent Wins and the Red marbles will represent losses. I could reach into Bag #2 five times per month and if I'm REALLY good I will pull out Blue marbles 3 times(Wins) and pull out Red marbles twice(losses). Or, I could reach into Bag #1 as often as possible and have a slight edge over the books and still reach into Bag #2 five times per month. I'm far better off reaching into both bags as often as I can as long as my data says that my expected value is positive. Knowing what kind of bag you are reaching into is the hardest part of the problem. Most guys reach into the bags with almost no idea of how many Blue and Red marbles are in the bag. I agree with some of your points however, I still believe that anything with a positive expected value should be played. For people that have no idea of their expected value it doesn't really matter what they do because they are likely going to lose in the long run anyway.
