      diogee,

      you will lose a lot in the long run if you keep doing that.

      i know it seems trivial to make 20 dollars wagers. but with a small bankroll like that 20 should be your max until you build it up.

        I know ** the most I put on any play was 20 bucks tonight but I had a lot of combinations that I liked and ended up growing my bankroll by 60%...still terrible money management on my part and almost as bad as chasing.

          Glad you mixed in some winners.

          Hopefully this was not the thread originator's only play of the night.

                  Speaking of horrible calls, they just got Melo for goal tending as he rebounded a Ray Allen airballed 3 pointer. Worst call I have seen in some time. Fortunately, it did not cost DEN the game.

                    Sorry guys to anyone who followed that was not planning on betting Boston anyway. Boston was in this game, but a few things didn't pan out how I expected they would. Unfortunately in gambling nothing is ever guaranteed, but I do feel it's a bet I would just as easily make tomorrow.

                        Tomorrow night's game vs GS was posted as a pick em earlier. With both teams traveling overnight and KG still getting his legs back + the depth of GS, they may be the play. Not sure though, I saw Baron Davis getting his ankle taped earlier.

                          what about the other 25 calls everytime iverson or camby or martin or mello made a face at the ref??

                            You sound like a Patriots fan after the SB.

                            I see you are from Sacramento. I am on the Kings +4.5. They just had a 9 pt lead erased in a heartbeat.

                              speaking of super bowls.....I bet you were the guy at the bar saying "the steelers won their super bowl fair and square"

                                Well if I could peer into the future and know the games outcome, I'd bet accordingly.

                                A rigid framework for money management is really only needed under certain circumstances. At the end of the day, you can maintain very tight parameters on your bet %, but you can chase like a madman and do just as much damage as a lone bigger play. I don't bet over my head all the time, and I try not to chase. Sometimes though there's a sweet spot where I'll deem a bigger risk is justified. Unfortunately it doesn't always work out.

                                            Boston played well but going against Denver at home at a Pick is not the right play.

                                              We might have to sticky this thread just as an example to newbies why one should never -- N E V E R -- wager that much of their bankroll on any single play.

                                                  I had over 300 on Under 262 1/2 on the All-Star Game and won final total was 262 (although a half court shot at the buzzer rimmed out and would've been a major kick in the nuts). So Under 262 would've been a push anyway, what's the prob?

                                                    Diogee, please quit doing that shit. You're one of my fav posters but you will wipe out and go away eventually if you keep going all in every night. So you now have a bankroll of about $480. That's better than what I started with once ($40). Try not to bet so many games. Put it (your daily allowable max -- say $20) on one game or a 2-team teaser if you need that feeling of "betting big."

                                                        Thank you crazy! That's not from me that's what my bookie told me to tell you, he also mentioned I should use caution for now on when taking a free sports tip from a stranger named crazy to bet a 1/5th my roll, oh well live and learn, next time I'm only betting a 1/6th my roll

                                                          Hey I didn't say it was a great bet I'm just saying that Under 262 was a push and under 262 1/2 I don't care if you're betting on an exhibition cock fight a win is a win, money is money I'd rather have bet a 1/5th my roll on that exhibition bet than this Boston slaughter

                                                            If Denver cant beat a BOS team at home with KG at maybe 75%, they are done in the West.

                                                            Is CRAZYL the same clown that posted a thread Sunday night saying under 262 in the AS game was such a big unit play? That was laughable.
                                                            yes that was him, hhaaha

                                                              hahaha yes it was. also the same clown who gave out a laughable pick on the NFC moneyline in another meaningless pro bowl game which cashed. i wonder if i'd get shot for giving out any NFL preseason plays too, since that's virtually just as meaningless only with much less talented players in the mix whose A game isn't better than most all stars B game.
