Only losers bet everyday

Well most of the gamblers like to have a lot of actions and that's why they like to bet a lot of games. That's how most of them go broke. It's better to reduce actions and focus on a few games to increase your chance of winning.

jjgold · 08-15-10, 10:03 PM

We like the action

Hard to only bet 3 games per month but your right that gives you the best chance to win

I have bet every day of the year for many years. Soccer is my main sport.. It's been probably over 10 years since I had not placed a bet.

100% true my friend, trying to reduce the game myself

TR88 · 08-15-10, 10:07 PM

I know its hard Illini and JJ, but we have to reduce the games guys, if we want to win, if u like the action play with small bets at least GL

Chugs · 08-15-10, 10:10 PM

This is very true. Been learning this myself. Ill bet more like 2-3 games a week though. This might change once football season comes around though, just cant help myself.

TR the feeling is better than coke when you have 10 games going looking and watching scores

TR bet 15 games tomorrow and you will feel real good and forget your problems

Sethlin.....send me $1000 and I will man. $100 per game would be nice, but I'm buried so taking some time off and then I will make em pay back and try to bury them. 5dimes is the first on the list

UntilTheNDofTimE · 08-15-10, 10:28 PM

Yea when i was betting for a 3-4 year period i wud bet about 150-200 games a year. After turming a small profit throughout the course i realized how highly unprofitable sports gambling was for the hours put into it. I focused more and more on poker and ive never looked back. Havent placed a bet since January and feel no need too.

limitation · 08-15-10, 10:34 PM

Just looking at my account, I have made 209 bets during past two weeks. That's way too many actions and I only have made small profits doing it. That's the mistake most of the gamblers make. They like the actions way too much and end up losing a lot of money to juice. Better to reduce the actions and focus only on few bets to increase your profits.

obv everyone loves the action!

Agree somewhat. 2 or 3 a month is sort of weak unless it's football season or something. Too many baseball games in a day to just bet 2 a month, but I do only bet 1 to 2 games a night. Never more than that. You should see how less stressful it is on yourself and on your bankroll

bbenson011 · 08-16-10, 12:00 AM

this is too hard for me but cud be very profitable for those that do it

Metalhead · 08-16-10, 12:02 AM

I agree about limiting your games, maybe 1 or 2 per day. At 2 or 3 a month though, losses would be crippling and take forever to make up.

tanner40 · 08-16-10, 12:13 AM

2-3 games a month? It would be hard for me to stay focused. Plus I would be second guessing whether I really want to make the play or not since I would be so selective. Betting everyday keeps me following the teams closer and I get a better feel.

To each his own.

mdemps9190 · 08-16-10, 12:23 AM

Haven't been betting every day recently. Picking my spots, way better.

bobbyfk · 08-16-10, 12:30 AM

yea...that's why I am getting killed this month

agree

shermanator · 08-16-10, 02:50 AM

I pick 1-3 picks a day and never more.

kingkhi · 08-16-10, 03:00 AM

Pick a game per day and stake a unit over that. simple !

bill2266 · 08-16-10, 03:04 AM

thats true to much action you pay the juice

refrain87 · 08-16-10, 03:06 AM

I think everyone would agree, we're in this to make cash, but sportsbetting, or any form of gambling has become a hobby for us. We all need some sort of action everyday... I try to play 1 game a day that I really like though.

k13 · 08-16-10, 03:06 AM

Once football, hockey, basketball start, impossible.

magynuck · 08-16-10, 07:44 AM

For most people who bet and lose this is good advice.

For people who know how to determine +EV situations this is ridiculous.

mrmarket · 08-16-10, 07:50 AM

Bet when you have an edge. Any other arbitrary rule you set is worthless.

jayc88 · 08-16-10, 07:53 AM

i bet 300-500 games each month and i'm not losing

pavyracer · 08-16-10, 07:54 AM

If you have an imaginary bottomless bankroll you can bet 15 games every day and never lose. Ask JJ.

unusialsusp5 · 08-16-10, 08:05 AM

hard to do during football season. but you should limit your baseball plays to about 12-15 games a week. football 3 games a day works.

adlai · 08-16-10, 08:12 AM

i'd rather win 55% of the time over 200 games a month than go 2/3, or even 3/3, once a month. just a thought. not to mention, going big on a couple of games is a good way to die young.

SpiderMonkey · 08-16-10, 08:16 AM

I bet ~150 games/month at a smaller stake ... and look for 2 or 3 to pound. The small games help build your history towards the big plays.
