For the sake of conversation. How do you guys deal with greed when your up betting ? It’s definitely my weak point and I totally realize it. I’d like to hear from some experienced cappers who have the ability and self control to shut it down when there up

The story is similar for most of us.

It's never enough.

I have found when playing a casino online, if you go in with the mindset of winning a certain small amount and then leaving, coming back later and repeating, it works.

Example you having $500 in chips and set your goal to your balance reading $525 or $550 (repeating it in your head), then exit.

Basically nickel and dime them.

Not sure if or how this same approach could be applied to sports betting though.

Learning to walk away,, man,, what a tough question,,

I would say its HARDER to walk away, lol,, than to win at handicapping!!

whats my trick?
Know your systems,,, If you KNOW your systems you know how they behave??<< most every system will REGRESS to the mean, so being aware of that Turn is my best advice,,, Look for that turn, and chart your plays

Play with limits . Is it easier to win 5 k or give back 5k that you already won?

I don't, I play for fun, but it hasn't been much fun recently so I'm slowing down
