    Name the biggest asset a gambler should have...
    Besides bankroll that is.
    Im saying confidence/discipline. A productively winning gambler is a confident gambler. Lack of confidence can create situations where u begin forcing plays by 2nd guessing yourself...Lets hear what you have to say...

                              I have 8.5 over here.

                              I have no idea at this stage, both sides played pretty average last weekend.

                              Will Quade Cooper turn up to play this time?

                                Wheres that # at? Can see lots of middling/arbing opportunities here Can understand y deans publicly backed cooper and the guy can be brilliant but if he has a repeat performance kiwis will shred us apart...Keep in mind wallabies have never won at eden park...Cant believe the winner here faces either wales or france

                                  TAB over here.

                                  At this stage I have no idea, 6.5 and 8.5 though is a huge difference. The 8.5 is getting juiced heavily and may move.

                                  Huge pressure on Cruden as well, even with how well Weepu is playing.

                                    Waiting till nearly game time to put $$$ on this game as expecting NZ ML and spread to get pumped big...Personally doubt the All blacks will crack the wallabies defence without Carter, Muliana, Guildford and Dagg, whilst weve seen that the wallabies need little possession to score...

                                        Ashley Cooper is the early favourite. This may tell you more...

                                          OK. I'll let you hijack your own thread

                                          I think this is one of those rare occasions where I like All Blacks 1-12 +200 or just under. I don't see a blow out. Australia's defence was good last weekend and should be tougher to crack than Argentina's was (which the All Blacks had great difficulty with). I suppose if the Boks were more clinical, Australia would have lost by two tries... All in all, I dunno. I'll have be having a small wager on it for fun, as I'll be watching at a BBQ.

                                          Wales ML has to be the better play though. They were impressive last week.

                                            big play pending the status of a few injuries.

                                            Kicking myself I didnt book a NZ / Wales final prop at +550 and greater a few weeks ago when I picked that final.

                                                Confidence is why most lose so often.

                                                  If you have a $1000 and bet 1-2% for the NFL season, you know how hard it is to go broke? Almost impossible even picking blind.

                                                  But then again how "fun" is that?

                                                    That is what most should be doing

                                                    Its patience waiting for a very solid play and of course discipline

                                                            Im saying confidence/discipline. A productively winning gambler is a confident gambler. Lack of confidence can create situations where u begin forcing plays by 2nd guessing yourself...Lets hear what you have to say...


                                                            yes you are 100% correct on the confidence part. Most of my bets that I have won in the past I have been confident in... like so confident I wasn't even nervous.



                                                            BUT..... you can't fake confidence. and often times it takes success to build confidence and when you are going through a rough stretch or if you are kinda desperate it is nearly impossible to have confidence.


                                                            This is why I think gambling can be so streaky.... when I am winning I usually continue to win for awhile and then I fukk up with money management and i'm back to square one or even worse in the hole.
