    Not only that, but a focus on winning percentages is a bit amateur. Unless you're only betting on -110 lines, then focusing on a winning percentages really doesn't make any sense. If someone is always betting dogs, he may have a winning percentage of 45% and still be far more profitable than the guy hitting 58% on -110 plays.

        without his chaser bets (30x, 10x), he'd be 2k in the red, you moron. so % does matter when you're always in chase mode to escape out of the red.

        this is a typical tout move to try and erase a losing week/month/season. brandon lang does this practically every week.

          People that bet for a LONG time go thru streaks, end of f'n story! This is exactly why you don't chase, go on tilt, etc. Some people here are only betting for action or only play $5 a game, those that actually want to make $ know that it is a MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT! $ MANAGEMENT IS THE #1 RULE!

          I don't follow anyone, I use ideas and opinions to look for other angels and do more research, if you just blindly fade or follow in the end you WILL lose! It seems like both Lakerboy and Paco take a lot of BS from people on here but they also post a lot of plays. If you really like LB is just a moron who dosen't know how to cap, then YOU are the moron! Go back and look at how much $ he helped people make in the NBA 2 years ago, the guy was on fire.


          One other thing, VERY HEAVY FAVORITES DO LOSE SOMETIMES! Going all in at -1400 on Boise State or any team is just asking for trouble! All is takes is one lose and most people will take a huge hit to the bankroll. Ive seen it happen so many times and people just never learn! Putting a heavy favorite like that in a parlay can also be trouble, lets say you have a 4 team parlay and its 100 to pay 350, (just using round #'s), and you choose to add a real heavy fav to make it 100 to pay 395, is this really worth the added risk, why not just do a 3 teamer and hope for the best. Most of the time heavy favorites do win, but I learned my lesson about doing that a long time ago and won't make that mistake again.

          How could the Yankees lose last night, how could the Lakers play so poorly in the playoffs last year, etc. These things happen, be smart, not greedy, that how you win!

                Another guy says he wins all the time, except that he can't win all the time, but still wins $40k plays.

                Unreal...nothing but fuking mongoloids with no clue up in here
                Couldn't have said it better, LTA. Outstanding post.

                You guys are a bunch of fvcking idiots. Carp may get hit tonight, but he was outstanding down the stretch and Philly's offense is struggling. Do you fools even watch these games?

                  I'm a huge Cardinals fan and this would be a sweet victory.

                  It's going to be tough for the Cards to win but I think they've actually been the better team this series. They let game 3 get away or it would be over.

                              Suggesting that anyone go all-in one any one bet completely undermines any credibility that you have.

                                Excellent value today with the Cardinals +165 with Carpenter. Halladay is human and we all remember what happened in game 1 1st inning. I still believe the Phillies will prevail at home tonight and the homer in me has me on the Phillies ML tonight.

                                  This just confirms my Phillies play. Betting against Halladay in a situation like this is -EV. it's either Philly or a no play if you are a smart capper.

                                    Be very surprised if either pitcher gives up more than 2. Under 7 for me.

                                                                  he's far from the ace that he once was...most guys on here think he's still there...why? because theyre clueless

                                                                  i wont say its not worth taking a flyer on the cards if guys think they can get to doc like they did in G1 but to think carp can outduel doc is a joke

                                                                  I hit the tiger series and hit the brewers toda but I didn't even bet on this and it hurt more than the rest. Sad thing is after the struggles late in the season this offensive drought isn't that surprising. I had hoped hunter would have made more of a difference.
