    Most guys have no business betting more than 1 game a day.
    betting 3,4, more games a day you will lose.

    Most don't have the time to learn the math, get
    the best of the number, etc....

    its like thowing money down the toilet.

    1 play a day only.

        You know Shorstop. You find a game and pound it...

        You dont live in Fantasy land like many who think
        they can beat this by spending an hour here and there
        picking games. It cant be done.

              Even 1 a day in bases is really too much, unless you're just a rec player that doesnt care to lose. Thats still 7 plays a week. I just play around with bases & may play 5 games for $10 each. But during football season 3 plays a weekend out of 40 games is my usual.

              I look at JJ's spreadsheet & laugh. Everyday 6 bases plays, 3 hockey, 2 hoops, thats how you get barreled in $35,000

                Many small bets a day and hope to turn a small profit at the end of the day. Grind it out. Plus I love the action!

                  I average 25-30 plays a day. I'm an action junkie.

                    Yeah but I am not trying to pay the mortgage with my winnings, I just bet for entertainment. If I win thats awesome, if not I just made myself care about some pointless game on tv. Win - Win situation

                      Agreed, in the long run you have to pick the games that really stand out for you.

                          I learned a long time ago to not "try to find plays".

                          Let plays find you.

                          If your hobby is making money and beating the system instead of betting,it's not a problem to sit out as long as necessary.

                            very true. Alot of guys cant stand not having action, saying they are leaving winners on the table. That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. If there's 10 games there's 10 winners, 20 with totals.

                              Play as many plays as you like. Its all about weighting my bets for me.

                                Sometimes I do think just picking 1 game a day is the way to go

                                    I think 3-4 bet is ok. When NFL season already running I don't think so 1-2 pick / week is a good idea, but agreed too much play is sucks

                                      Selectivity is the key but you should not limit yourself to 1 Pick/Day. Some days, you'll skip, some days you may have 2 plays.. What if play you'll pick tomorrow is being played today? You will skip if because you play 1 pick/day max?

                                      ..but selectivity is a good thing. Agreed with you about it.

                                            I have only wagered on 12 games since middle of last month and I am 0-12 in those games. Some of us should quit altogether.

                                              Good post slicker and very accurate

                                              we like the action though of betting a lot of games and that will not change.

                                              Slicker check my card tonight and see what action is.

                                                  You will still lose money betting 1 game a day, you will just lose it slower.
