    securing a profit?
    My question is this

    let's say you have two bets placed and there are at different times. If you win the first one do you play the opposite side of your second wager for half of your original bet? why doing this you guarantee a profit for the day. this is why we are here. I am just curious what everyone does.
    I am not saying to double your second wager if you lose your first game either. better to break even that have a chance a big loss.
    just curious what everyone does.

    What you are doing is is simply making sure that bookie is charging you vig on one additional bet. That's pretty much it.

    As far as your supposedly well thought of money management aspect of this transaction - it is simply bogus.

    Betting process does not have a calendar. It does not know or care whether you are making 2 plays per day or 2 per hour or 2 per year.
    In a long run your action is just one non-stop string of plays.
    In a long run it does not matter whether you "saved and guarantee profit for today" or not. Benefit from it only exists in your head as a wired placebo effect.

    Next time you will make "smart money saving bet on another side" only to find out in frustration that it just cost you a profit for the same amount you "saved" before. But an additional and useless juice you paid in both bets is gone forever and it is pooling your record down and making you a larger loser than you otherwise would be.

    Not good

      If you win your first bet, you're assuming the second will be a loser? How are they related?

          If you won your first bet, why you want to bet against your 2nd wager? Don't look daily, don't look over short term. Daily profit means nothing. Look over the long haul. The result of your 1st bet should not effect your stake for 2nd bet.
