1. Never overbet. A good range for bets is 1-2% of your bankroll. Pick your unit size and stick to it. Never chase when you are down by betting outside your normal range.
2. Always shop for the best line. It's best to use 3-5 books with a variety of lines. Getting the best possible lines is an important part of winning.
3. Make plays at reduced vig if possible. This is worth more to your bottom line than most people realize.
4. Take advantage of deposit bonuses when you can. Don't worry about being a "bonus whore". Better to be a rich whore than broke.
These four things will keep more money in your pocket. If you follow all of these, you will only need to hit very slightly over 50% of your games to break even. Even the worst handicapper should be able to get through the season.
And remember...there's a lot of up and downs, so don't take this game too seriously...
