My Approach to Sports Betting
When I first started wagering on sports I was foolish like most. Betting parlays, teasers and going large on the wrong kind of games. I had a lack of money management and discipline that was required to win long term. It was not until my good friend, vanzack, game me some wisdom and insight. Setting goals, money management, reduced juice all aid the long term bettor.
Now what I wanted to share with you today is not verbatim what he showed me, but more of a plan that I set out for myself, but the discipline still lies within the plan.
Here is my Plan
April 1 $500 @ 3% = $15
MLB +15u = $225
Sept 1 $725 @ 3% = $21.75
NFL +15u = $326.25
NCAA +15u = 326.25
NBA +15 u = $326.25
CBB +15u = $326.25 = $1305
Net Profit = $1530 +75u
Bankroll = $2030
Now some may say 3%/unit is too aggressive and if someone feels more comfortable with 1% then that is fine. As for my betting style 3% is aggressive enough for me to reach my goals, yet not going over the top.
As you see in the guideline my goals are realistic. I set a +15u goal for each season. No boasting or touting, claiming to hit +100u, cause I don't need to. Now since football and basketball season overlap you will see that I keep the unit amount the same and re-evaluate once both seasons are finished.
You can plug in your own bankroll/unit amount, but I kept it simple to illustrate the point that by hitting +15u in each sport (which I believe is very achievable) you can TRIPLE YOUR BANKROLL.
We have a lot of fun around here at SBR, but not a lot is talked about strategy. I have been here for almost 2 years and thought I should pass along some of the wisdom that was shared with me.
You won't become popular or the next biggest thing on the net, but you will make money.

As you mentioned, a little too aggressive for some, like me, but I got to tell you, at least 80% of being successful is Money Management. Another 15% is the discipline to follow a winning strategy correctly and finally 5% in having an actual winning strategy. IMHO.
