Besides thefourfive I already posted?
I'm really more interested in Over/Unders at this point that race matchups, but no US books seem to be having it.Last edited by NunyaBidness; 10-27-14, 10:55 AM.Comment -
Election bets posted so far:
Kay Hagan wins NC -185 5dimes
Ernst wins Iowa -170 5dimes
Cotton wins Arkansas -325 Bookmaker
Democrats retain senate majority +200 at Sportsbook
Thought I posted this one, but maybe I didn't:
Orman wins Kansas +115 Bookmaker
The sportsbook line is still available, the rest have gotten worse, but I still like Hagan and Ernst.
Added today:
Rounds wins SD -900 5d
Shaheen wins NH -220 5d
Lundergan wins KY +500 5d
Begich wins AK +315 bookmaker
Nunn wins GA +120 bookmaker

Cowboys on the money line.. Risking alot to win a little... $475 to win $100 The safe play I hope.....
GAMBLING GOAL QUESTION????
My gambling goal is to win $100 a day.. That's $3000 a month, $36,500 a year.. X 3 accounts... I've been reaching these totals since the beginning of the year on one account, coming up a bit short on the other 2 but that only happened in the last two months......
If I'm way up on one account then I take a bet like this above $475 to win $100... Other 2 accounts I don't do that...
Any of you gamblers set goals or set guide lines like this???Last edited by JIBBBY; 10-27-14, 04:37 PM.Comment -
Why would you? Would only lead to chasing and bad bets in the long run most likely. Find that value, Jibber.Comment -
So if I make 100 bucks and then joey Odessa gives me Conor at +200, do you not bet that?Comment -
jibby u got to do a lil line shoppin. u consistently hav terrible lines. read up on kellyComment -
serious question. whts up with all night gms goin over? i thought it was just short term "variance" but now im wondering if im missing something. my friend is killin me on these over betsComment -
Mirin is right, when i started doing this with my soccer betting my results gradually went to shiiiit! Got to caught up trying to meet my target and as im a degen inevitably ended up chasing. Now i have a bankroll like ronpauls and have to get free dentist work off my good buddy Bubzy. Life's a bitchComment -
Value is king I know.. Every dollar counts... You guys are right.. I need to tweak my gambling goals and figure out a different way to target goals with account balances.. Thanks for the input fellas...Comment -
Well, if you lose a lot on one account, its gotta be due sometime. So make a lot of small losing bets, and then make a huge one when its due. Isn't that the point of having multiple accounts?Comment -
My reasoning - Trying not to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak.. When it comes to the big payouts at the end of the year it would be nice to do it on all 3 accounts evenly and not just one with a massive balance.. I can live with not getting paid out on 1 account when the other 2 are funding..
Like I said I need to do some re-thinking with my set goals in place with all 3 bookies.. I should go for value regardless of trying to keep near equal account balances.....Comment -
Vaughany makes a good point about not getting caught up in attempting to hit specific targets. It really can throw you off. The best thing you can do is put in as much effort as you can researching your bets, breaking them down, watching tape, and taking time to think about all the possible outcomes of a fight and their individual probabilities.Comment -
Terrible.
My goal is to put in as much volume in positive expectation bets as I can get. Daily results mean nothing. I lose > 50% of days.
The goal is to have more money at the end of the year then I did at the beginning. The days, weeks, and even months in between are just noise. August-September I went on the biggest downswing of my life. Was losing at MMA, sports, poker, and blackjack, first time I think I'd ran bad at everything at the same time. If I had tried to get even on a daily basis, I could've easily lost everything. Gotta just keep on grinding. If you're making +EV bets it'll turn around.
But, to be honest Jibbbs, I don't think you're making +EV bets, I think you're just gambling. And there's nothing wrong with that. But pretending you're going to make a steady income out of this, especially with silliness like "bankroll management" is only going to get you into trouble.
If you can't define where your edge comes from on any given bet, then you don't have one.
Also, as Pun said, your individual bankrolls on different sites don't matter. I bust accounts all the time, its meaningless.Comment -
Also, this is basically a martingale, which is something most every gambler discovers as a get-rich scheme at some point in their life, they all think they've invented it.
Its as such, you bet $5 on red in roulette, if you lose you now double your bet. If it wins you're still up $5. If you lose you just keep doubling your bet until it wins, eventually you'll be up $5, right?
Is this a good strategy? Why or why not?Comment -
Thanks for the input Nuns and that's why I posted this question on your thread.. You are the voice of reason
I am just a gambler that is continuing to learn and I do need to pay attention to EV'sl!!!! Thanks...
This Cowboys game is making me nervous being just a gambler tonight!!!!... Cowboys lose to the Rival Skins at home with a suspect QB at the helm and I may retire again from NFL..
Down 10-7 in the 3rd...

Steam roller hit me... It happens....

cowboys blowup my tsrs again. had sea when dal went there and won. my local is so lucky postin these gms at 8.5 and winnin. lost pats tz vs jets as wellComment -
If you have access to the square line set at bovada, my serious advice would be, to hammer the hell out of them whenever possible, and never bet ANYTHING else. Don't touch props, futures, anything. You want to keep your access to those lines as long as you can. Could make a living just blind-betting them.Comment -
Sabres +1.5 -155 for the contestComment -
Some winnerz for ya fellaz in German Cup tonight...
Bielefeld/Hertha Over 1 1st half @ -119... every Bielefeld home game has had at least 1 goal this season, lines are constantly off
Dresden/Bochum Over 1 1st half @ +105 has value as well
Hoffenheim/FSV Frankfurt tomorrow should have plenty of goalsComment -
Trailing.Comment -
That meant to say "at least 1 goal in 1st half this season!"
That Bielefeld game is the one I'd go big on, it should be Over 1.25 goals @ -119, not just Over 1Comment -
Hah, no matter, not a single US book seems to have 1H lines on this league.Comment
