    At what odds are you betting at with the 62% win rate in NHL?

    You can win.

    Shop around for good numbers, scalp, utilize bonuses, spot value on the opening line (try to gauge which way the line will move ).............

    Rod if you're laying lots of chalk 62% won't cut it.

    62% and losing money in NHL means exactly what sickler said....lots of chalk. Banging those -180 home favs and getting assfukked by the likes of Islanders, Senators, Oilers, etc..

    That's why I've been taking bets at my local bar recently, these people lose most of the time yet they keep coming back thinking they'll get out of the hole they dug for themselves. Since I've been taking bets I gamble less than I used too

    99% lose long term...keep it all in perspective, if you're not a good gambler, keep it cheap.

    I think you just answered your own question. Hockey, perhaps more than any other sport, if far too random to EVER bet an amount significantly more or less than whatever your normal bet size is.

    Just when you think the Habs and Bruins might shut each other out is the time they're going to score 14 goals.

    There is no way this can be true. Here is a VERY simple example

    100 plays @ -125 juice with a 62-38 record (62%) for $100 each

    62 x $100 = $6,200
    38 x $125 = $4,750

    $6,200 - $4,750 = +$1,450

    How can you be losing money if you've never played anything higher than -125 and you're picking 62%??

    This number is assuming every loss was -125 and every winner was -EV

    This is a worst case scenario example. If what you're saying is true, you should be up almost 1,500 AT THE WORST

    lol, I been taking bets from a guy at the local bar since around Thanksgiving time, he's 0-9(all NFL), not kidding. He gives me the money and I bet the other side. He has expressed a lot of interest in betting MLB this year, a couple other guys have also expressed interest in placing bets...doesn't seem to bother any of them to lose.

    It will help, guaranteed but you gotta have a bankroll to start out with. Lets not forget about avoiding the law. I get paranoid alot since I've been taking book. I try not to do it out in the open alot. Have to be extra careful and only deal with people you trust

    Do exactly what I outlined above. If you are really hitting 62% with nothing more than -125 in the NHL, then pick 3-4 games a night and put equal money on each of them. That will come out to about 100 plays...62% and you'll have almost $1,500 profit at the bare minimum. For every game you play better than -125, you'll just be putting more money in your pocket.

    The key, IMHO, is being selective. The fewer bets the better.

    I love looking at a fresh set of lines and capping games. As far as winning big long-term, I have serious doubts. Bad beats are everywhere.

    Vegas, you're not reading what he's saying. He can be hitting 75% but when you bet $100 on most things and then one day you bet $1000 and lose, you're still not going to be in the black.

    His problem is his bet size varies too greatly to allow his winning percentage to mean anything.

    Rod wager 2 % of your bakroll, few plays and show restraint, you will see a difference. Sportsbetting is like anything else in life the harder you work at it the better you will be Just my 2 cents.

    It just sounds like you lose the bigger bets and win when you bet lighter. I have been on both sides of that coin. Normally, once i get ahead, i bet a bigger bet say at $1000- $1500. I could start at $400 which is my normal start at times then work it up to $1500-$2000 using $300 to $500 bets. Then once up i take a shot and bet heavier. If i lose i end up losing most of what i worked up. If i win and get ahead i can make some serious cash. The best i did was start at $300 at cashed out at $10,300 netting $10000. But if you miss the big bet you can easily go 65% and still lose everything.

    Don't be such a pussy.

    Obviously he didn't beat you quite enough.

    I think a good ol' fashioned beating would be great for you.

    Perhaps JJ could give you a good beating with some milkweeds??
