    If you bet numbers and not teams there is totally an edge and easy to calculate. I guess that's why you're down.

    For you decreasing units. It makes your bankroll last longer before you reload.

    Bet 3% to 4% of your current total bankroll is a good range.

    Flat betting is for noobs. They can't determine how much value there is.

    Even if you think you have an edge, anything can happen. Flat bet 1-3% of bankroll.

    that is my point of an edge is not enough, you need to have a decent edge and enough games to overcome variance!

    Betting lines better than -110 can give you a mathematical advantage in profit.

    Drinker you have to alternate. You flat bet til your roll is much fatter than you expected depending on your means. Then when you are in rhythm, confident with a big stack you bring the hammer down on them.

    Exactly. Been saying this for years.

    If you have a bet that is worth 3 times the risk of other bets, why bet the other bets? In the end, only the big bets will count.

    In fact, Gold, this very premise is what I jumped on you about in your spreadsheet. You pay -110 for some plays and -150 for others even though you know that increase in risk isn't justified.

    Keep that risk as flat as possible when plying the sports markets.
