    I hate this website
    I hate gambling I never seem to win. I dont bet big but I mean im always loosing. I go over to NBA Best bets thread and think Im making the right obvious smart pick but it blows up in my face. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


    Any Tips


    At this point I think im just going to bet one obvious game a day no parlays teaser. Parlays are the devil.

    Just one game and I dont care if i am making just half of what I bet
    I will keep doing it untill I build up Idc if it takes a year

    Betting just one game is a good stradegy.

    NBA and especially college is really tough in December. Slow up until patterns are clearer.

        Pizza sucks so bad sometimes, had some tonight and it was greasy as hell and now I've got a stomach ache.

        And Dataman we all go through rough stretches, hang in there and turn it around in the new year pal.

              Straight betting is the way to go. Try not to play the entire board everyday. Narrow the games down, and bet accordingly. This game is streaky, but we all try to have more of the good streaks.

              Just don't try to hit the home run every time, but instead, bat for a high average.

                I would be very careful on the NBA at this time of year, it is very tough. I would rather play the NFL, it seems to be much easier at this time of year for me at least. Just pick a few games and I seem to do better than trying to pick a bunch of them.

                  I agree on cutting your plays down to one or two a day... Good idea and best of luck.. Hang in there...

                    losing 25 of every 29 days is a great if your able to maintain it long term while betting just a couple games per day. If so, next start betting against the bets you normally would've made and don't over extend yourself, let things compound and in do time you'll be very rich.
                    Good luck

                        By using the word "obvious" several times, it sounds to me like you are betting favorites. Always look for a reason to play the underdog first when handicapping a game, as that is usually where the value is.

                                  I'm with LT here. When I read your post, I noticed you used "obvious" like a typical Joe "Public" would. There is no "obvious" play. If that were the case then there would be no reason to play the games. You are typically playing "perception". Look for dogs that you believe have a chance to win outright. Or at this point, it seems you could write everything down you like and bet the opposite. Seriously, look at the games you lose and figure out what you missed and why you lost it and look for that situation next time.
                                  Maybe this will help: handicapping help

                                    follow someone on this forum that wins consistently or write down what the lines are at night and then check again in the morning. if a line goes up then the money is going on the favorite...so think about betting the favorite. if the line goes down , consider betting the underdog.

                                        This is awful advice unless you are finding a stale number.

                                          Common theme here is spot bet and pick your spots

                                          It is statistically proven the more games you bet the greater chance of losing

                                          Good luck son
