    If we all had a crystal ball?????????????
    and we saw that out of lets say 200 posters here, that only 3 out of the 200 will make money in sports betting in 2008.. .how many here would honestly never put another bet again, and how many would continue betting.. remember, the odds of you making money this year would be 1.5%...

    but here is why i am sure none of us would quit.. a) because we'd all think that we'll be the part of that 1.5% because we're smarter than everyone else, and b) we're all a bunch of sick compulsive gamblers who need action, and winning is not as important as having the action...


    so i ask you again, and be honest... would you quit gambling or would you continue if you know you had just over a 1% chance of making money this year?


    I say none of us would quit, cause we're all sick.

        He wasn't part of the 1.5% and the Canadiens suck, take your choice.

          It's a good hypothetical question. No I would not quit, not because I would be sure I would be in the 1.5%, but because I derive great entertainment value in trying to beat the lines. Whether I expect to win or lose, money management is key of course. If you expect to lose, only bet what you are willing to lose. If you expect to win, use good money management so you don't lose even if your assumption that you can win is correct.
