    Can anyone relate??
    On some games i want to put down $500 on a team but end up only putting $250 b/c i dont wanna put my bankroll in jepordy. Then it will be a blowout and i would have ended up winning the 500 but only win 250. Im so mad at myself for not going with my instinct but i still win 250 dollars. Should i just be happy with the 250?? Am i being greedy thinking like this? I have done this 3 times this year already! Any comments/experiences are welcome . Thanks guys.

    Make the same $ bet every time, why bet a game if you do not think it is stronger than your others.

    Bet the same amount whatever that is on your strong games and don't bet any other games period.

            i also have a unit size scale of 1-10, but even one 1 unit play is a very strong play. . . rarely cross a 3 unit play. . .

              b/C like i said...if i have a $250 bet and thre $50 bets and i lose the 250 but end up winning the $50 bets i wont lose as much. I bet the games i like thoughnot just for the hell of it. Some games i just like more than others.

                I have somehting like that also. I bet 100-500. But i wanted to put 500 on a team but shy away. Then end up winning and becoming mad that i didnt put what i wanted on it ya know? Lol..i know i sounds like a greedy b!tch but just wondering what u guys were thinking about it.

                  well, yea but its a win dude, and still you increased from your min bet 100 and made it 250. . . You did put more on it. . . So if you put 500 you would say i should of put 1000 on it and so on. .

                    I agree. A win is a win. But its not like im sayin i should have after the fact. I had it written down as a 500 play and put it in as a 250. I sometimes just think scared money doesnt make money, ya know. But starting Jan 1st i will start a new Money Management scale and will strictly follow it.

                                I agree.
                                Don't you find it irresponsible as a moderator and give such terrible advice?
