    Besides the four five 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.

    Kay Hagan wins NC -185 5dimes
    Ernst wins Iowa -170 5dimes

    I liked it better at +450, but didn't post it because I was hoping someone else would open it before it moved.

    Oh, NM, I see what you're saying.

    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???

    Why would you? Would only lead to chasing and bad bets in the long run most likely. Find that value, Jibber.

    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 bitch

    i dont understand why you care about separate account balances? shouldn't the overall number matter and nothing else?

    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?

    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.....

    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.

    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.

    Variance.

    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?

    On a fundamental level, it can't work for guys like Ron_Paul, whose bankrolls are less than $5.

    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...

    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.

    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 1
