is ATP much different than WTA lately ??? WTA is actually a gold mine, if you know where to dig.

I believe it is one of the many myths that are being told in this business. No real proof.
Lots of deception in the business which you may get caught either when you bet few or many.

Not a myth at all. There is a reason that most professional betters/cappers chose only a few games. People are seldom if ever successful betting 10+ matches a day like you are trying to do. This is even a slow week for tennis and you have a ton of picks. What's going to happen on a week where there is 3atp 3wtA and a couple challenger tourneys going. 40 picks?? Just advice dude long term you are not going to most likely have success

What i know is if you keep your bankroll increasing, you are doing the right thing. You may do this by finding the edges with few bets, and wagering bigger, or by doing it smaller bets, and risking less units. Until this point i agree with you, analyzing and finding the edges for few games are easier, since you can study each game in a more focused way. You do not shoot too many bullets, few but aim them better. Everything is logical if things happen naturally.
But the interesting thing is, this business is not built on the natural happening of things.
It is based on the aim of making some "group of people" richer. These people can be named as bookmakers and the unknown others. and they manipulate.
But i am sure both you and me , and also our friend Cappinpicks, who nominated your post, are not among these "group of people".
There is manipulation in some serious number of events, in all types of sports. This manipulation may occur in a very minor challenger event where a few spectators may see which in case needs not to much care of how it is performed, or it may occur in a GS final, where millions are watching, with a top class acting of the people.
We are all here to find a way of getting benefit as a side effect of this interesting business. If we are successful, we may earn some, and entertain ourselves, betting responsibly... If we can not we will be the victims of this business.
You can do this having a system of your own, where you try to minimize your losses (these losses may be result of your poor prediction, or a surprise result, or because of a manipulation) and compensate these losses with your wins.
While doing so, you may do whatever you want, bet once in a day, or bet dozens. You are doing the right thing,as long as you have a steady increase in your bankroll.
So please do not tell me the things which can be called as "basic instructions of betting" as if you are very wise, and as if i need you to enlighten me. I am sure most of the people already know them

I do not have to prove you anything.
There will be no proof of anything.
If i make profit, will you be convinced that you are wrong??? or vice versa ???
Everything is about predicting the winners, and winning more than you lose.
If you already are sure that you will make profit in the long term, by betting few, i envy you. Go and make profit.
Betting few, or betting dozens are not choices of which is better
Neither is better.
You have to pick the winners, that is better

1% chance of that happening in this thread though.
You're chopping more wood than Paul Bunyan.
Insane.
Odds are you aren't betting much real money so it won't matter when this thread goes under within the week, and if not a week possibly 2 or 3 if you catch a massive run of chalk hitting.
And that's not criticism, I wish you luck, just a fact of betting -240 numbers with straight bets nonstop.
When you're laying wood like that, you have to at least parlay them.
Even then, you're gonna need to go 2-0 to get an even money payout, but the risk isn't as massive compared to losing a straight bet.
If you're taking 90% favs you may as well just in-game and hope they fall behind a game early then pounce.

Thanks.
I sometimes do not parlay solid bets, even with odds down to -250/-300.
In-game live betting, i do a lot , a good way of making money. The odds go insanely high sometimes, i wonder if they are really watching whats going on the court.

Pretty sure 95% of it is computerized, there may be slight adjustments for possible injuries though it seems.
