Interesting Question... What do yall think?

If almost everyone ends up losing in the long run on betting, why doesnt everyone just fade themselves and end up doing better in the long run?

It's true that things NEVER turn out the way we THINK they will turn out... so simply take your "best" pick and fade it.. ? ? ? ? Or like Matthew McConaughey says in "Two for the Money"... He just "flipped a coin"... it's basically the same deal..

The juice kills you in the long run, if players didn't have to pay juice they would break even in the long run

when you flip a coin with a bookie it's Head -110 & Tails -110

Exactly bettilimbroke999. Most players are between 48-52% and lose the juice in the long run.

The best thing a gambler can do is to limit him/her self to just a bet here and there. Spot bets.

Or do what I do. Break your bankroll into two parts. One part is like 5-10% of your bankroll and is for everyday, small bets, compulsive betting. If you lose all of this then you are through betting compulsively. Or allot another 10% if you want.

The rest is for your spot betting. Pick your games very selectively. Even if it means betting once a month. These bets are like 5 to ten times bigger than your compulsive bets.

This way you get the action of everyday betting along with the discipline of a winning mentality.
