    How many times have you started to bet on side and then changed & bet the other side?

    And how many times has it won?

    LOL I did that in the MINN - PHILLY NFL playoff game last year!

    Went & sent my money in with the sole purpose of taking MINN - 3.

    Then all of a sudden when it came time to bet I said "Ah hell I'm changing my mind and taking PHILLY."

    Obviously I won and then I took them again in the Super Bowl and won that too.

    There ain't no way to "pick" or "handicap" this sheit! You may as well handicap one side and then take the other side!

    Nah, for me it just shows that no matter how "decided" that I think I am, it's just a damn crap shoot in the end, and the other side might win!

    So don't bet on "crapshoots" unless you are getting + odds.

    LOL Which bet ISN'T a "crapshoot"? Like my friend said when I bet the east west shrine game, he said: "Who the hell could pick that game? I don't bet those 'allstar' type games, because you have no idea what is going to happen."

    I said: "What's the difference? Who the fuk can pick ANY game? In what game DO you know what the fuk is going to happen."

    You don't because it is all a "crapshoot."

    Just put your money down and wait until the horn blows, and see if you get twice as much money back, or nothing!

    always put yourself in the highest probability of success....but if odds fall against you in a big way right before game time its a pass or follow the money....

    Remember Mr. Cool, you don't have to bet every game, your biggest advantage is that you can pass.

    I know you don't think there is a such thing as an advantage, and that it's all random and impossible, but handicappers eventually, if they work hard enough and track why they make their bets, will eventually find certain types of plays that will hit more often than others.

    They can pass on the others, and spot bet what they like.

    If you are indecisive or switching you choice, even once, it's probably best to pass.

    One thing I've noticed, I don't think sporting events are going away anytime soon, there will always be another game.

    Man, I miss football. It is a sad thing, all winter, all I can think of is baseball, and how I'm over basketball. Mid summer, all I can think of is football, and how I am over baseball, Mid Fall, all I can think of is college basketball, and how I am over football. Never happy, always waiting for whats next.

    Never get over baseball, it is the best sport to bet. It has the most profit potential with long season and lots of underdog winners.

    LOL There is no way to "know"!!

    The "right side" is the team that is the spread-winner after the game is over!


    If any of us knew that BEFORE the game, then we'd all be rich!!

    I'm giving you every bit if that one!

    Hell yes there are "certain types of plays that will hit more often than others."

    I have a few different systems that seem to kill.

    But I totally admit it. I just can't bet only the games that I think I have an 'edge' on. I just bet whatever is on TV!
    (The only reason that I'm still halfway afloat is because I often take the points!!)

    Hell yes, in my dreams I could only bet the games that fit my system!!

    But most of the times I can't even stay out of the casino long enough to wait 2 days for a payout. (Especially if I start drinking!)

    I have to bet one game big and then request a payout and then try as hard as I can to stay out of the casino so I can get paid!

    I've only been here for a few weeks and every time I get the 6 points for logging in, I go straight to the casino!

    And, win or lose, I never stop until it is at zero. It is freakin hilarious but it shows me what I know already!

    I have to get in & get out very quick or I will just be handing these S-books my money every time!

    LOL I do see that whoever posts a pick on here for big money, it is usually best to fade it!!


    Kinda goes along with my original post! Which is they may as well take the other side of whoever they "Think" is going to win!!

    The old "fade yourself" theory

    Hard to do, you end up second guessing yourself too much. Then it becomes hard to know what side you really wanted to bet but instead decided to fade.

    And then if you do intentionally fade yourself and it loses, you're pissed off because you had the right side to begin with.
