Why do people make so many plays a day?

[obamaismyuncle]

Unfukkingreal, I just seen a post where a guy has 14 MLB plays today. People you can not make cash betting like that. 1-4 plays a day I say.

[SlickFazzer]

action junkies who dont care if they win or lose.

14 plays? damn....ive had college hoops Saturdays where i played that much and did pretty well for the most part but i never really started the day intending to bet that many but hey when your rolling might as well fire at every lean on your sheet as the day goes on

I agree with that statement and I do that frequently too. But no chance would I already have 14 games booked. Like today I got 4 plays booked in MLB, and that may be it for the day.

[jayc88]

tell me why its not possible to win longterm betting 14 games a day but possible betting only 2 games ??

[jayc88]

f i have an edge on every pick i would bet 200 plays a day

Exactly. What is the difference between 14 a day then say find no more edges for the week and 14 spread out over a week?

I do understand what you are saying. What you should be saying is the more plays per day, the harder to find better edges.

[BestPlay2day]

Everyone has their own style and strategies when it comes to betting. I usually will only put down 1-3 bets a day, sometimes I don't find anything good I won't do any bets. I can see on a Saturday someone making that many bets on college football or basketball when there are close to a hundred games to bet on.

I think thats what he's trying to say...

As others have said, you should bet every game where you believe you have an edge.

I think the original poster was really asking if the people who are betting 14 games a day truly have an edge in those games or are they action junkies just throwing sh*t against the wall and hoping some of it sticks...

I have made over 10 MLB plays in one day probably 4 times already this season.

I see no problem with it. I also have days where I make 2 plays.

The only problem I really have is there is usually not a day where I make 0 plays, and that could be cause for concern. But I really hate studying stats and news for 2 hours and then not doing anything. Feels like wasted time, even though if you think of it as a push, going 5-5, then it's not so bad.

I just checked, I have 11 plays today.

[Flight]

11 MLB plays, then I've got 2 NHL leans and taking a look at NBA.

[statnerds]

only a problem when they are losing i suppose. however, over 100 futbol games today, 15 MLB, NHL hockey. there are well over 1,000 possible wagers to make, so 14 doesn't sound like much. but when it is 14 out of 15 MLB games, then yes....too much

7-2 yesterday but lost 2 parlays ( 4 teamer won 3 - 5 teamer won 4 )
wouldve collected huge if either cashed , instead won small
tough business when you spread out games.

[whatsgood5]

action junkies who dont care if they win or lose.

This. Although the last part is slightly off in my case, I obviously care if I win or lose, but I do expect to lose, and know that I'll lose long-term.

[Dogball]

whats good-
you cant win with that approach . tell yourself you expect to win and you may find a way to long term
i did

That's not how things work.

[JEK]

Some people just like the action...

[Yabatumba]

The more funds these alleged people can make a-day, the better, no? Simple logic Isn't it.

[Dogball]

i think they work exactly like that. I send messages of success and entitlement to my unconscious every day. I think it all stems from attitude and if you know you are going to lose, you will do exactly that. If you know you can win, you have a chance to. I've been at it 25 years, took me a long time to learn how to win with regularity and it wasnt due to inability to pick winners. It was due to the kind of mind set you referenced above.'
Then again, if losing money works for, you so be it

[pitman]

When I hear/see the word compulsive gambling i think of someone who bets lots and lots of games..

[as99]

Yesterday I made 15 bets and made 383% profit with 0% being even.

Now obviously you can lose any day. I hope that at the end of the day I'm near even at worst, making 3 or 4 bets can get you burned as well.

Very few gamblers that actually make money.

[mjamesb80]

Some theories are that the faster you can get to let's say 500 games hitting at 55% then you win money faster than if you hit 55% playing only 250 games. Just simple math. I could not find that much value in so many games but some people say they can.

55% win rate after 500 bets = profit of 27.5 units (at -110 odds)
55% win rate after 250 bets = profit of 13.75 units (at -110 odds)

[INVEGA MAN]

they love their action

[poker_dummy101]

just depends on the person

Obama make himself look like a complete jerk off here. Has no answers to the questions.

What questions? I don't sit on SBR 24/7 like the thief Venditto. Did I miss something?

[str]

The most difficult play to make is no play.
Most players do not consider that an option.

Why gamble if you bet 1 play a day???????????????

I do not know how Bobby does it

I need at least 3 per day or I get fukkin cramps/withdrawal type symptoms

There is a difference between those of us who are in this game to make money, and the others, who just have to have some action going all the time. I am in this game to make money. It is that simple. To make money, I believe that you should wager more on games that you are sure of, than less on more games, some of which may be questionable. This is why there are so many more losers than winners. This is also why people who take gaming seriously are able to live off those who do not. What people do not understand is that the law of averages is going to catch up with you. NO ONE beats the law of averages. The law of averages states that the more wagers you make, the more likely you will win and lose the same amount of wagers. That is a loser in this game, unless you do not pay vig.

It is the same way with parlays. No matter how good you think you are, you are going to lose in the long run, because you are giving away too big of a percentage. The name of the game is to play the very best percentages that you can. Parlays do not offer that. Why play a 3 team parlay that pays 6-1 when the real odds are 7-1? Why play a 5 team parlay where the payoff for a win is nowheres near the legitimate odds? Someone stated that he won 3 out of 4 games on a 4 team parlay, and 4 out of 5 games on a 5 team parlay. The fact is that the person still LOST both wagers. Coming so close and losing is the best thing that can happen for the books, because they know that the player will try it again.
